Puka Partners

We hire for fit. Then we stay to make it work.

We recruit and place Philippine-based talent for Australian businesses. We assess for the right fit and help with retention. Our fee reflects that: a monthly rate for as long as you need the role filled, with no placement fee.

The right hire is the hard part

Anyone can rent a seat in the Philippines. Whether it works comes down to fit within your organisation. We're experienced talent acquisition specialists with backgrounds at Korn Ferry and LinkedIn, and every shortlist goes through a proven process.

The roles we place

Mortgage and loan processors

Application verification, income and expense checks, lender submission, condition tracking and settlement coordination. Screened on the lenders you actually use.

Mortgage and loan processors

GHL and automation specialists

GoHighLevel builds, workflow automation, integrations and the maintenance that keeps them running. Screened in the platform, not on marketing experience.

Support roles

Executive assistants, bookkeeping and tax, recruitment support. Same search process as the specialist roles, at a lower monthly fee.

The terms

Two numbers, invoiced separately: the salary at cost, and our management fee. No markup.

One small fee up front, no other placement fee

$500 starts the search. When your hire starts, we invoice the monthly fee and nothing else. No placement fee, no minimum term.

Replacement cover, no time limit

If a hire doesn't work out, we replace them free, at any point, for as long as you're with us. Two replacements per seat a year.

We only earn while they stay

If your hire leaves in month four, our revenue leaves too. Keeping them in the job is how we get paid.
