Offshore & hybrid talent,
matched by Vesper.
We're extending Vesper's matching to candidates based outside the UK — starting with the Philippines — for companies who want hybrid or fully remote hires without the cost of a UK-based salary. Same plain-English brief, same fit-scored shortlist, a bigger pool to draw from.
Same process,
wider reach.
Offshore matching runs through the same Vesper engine as every UK search — just pointed at a different candidate pool.
Same as any TalentKnight brief — plain English, no job spec templates. Tell us the country or region you're open to as well.
Candidates are ranked by fit, with working-hours overlap factored in alongside skills and experience — useful for hybrid roles that need real-time collaboration.
You get a ranked shortlist with a written reason for each match. How you formally engage the hire — contractor agreement or an Employer of Record — is covered below.
More reach for roles that
don't need a desk in the UK.
Offshore salaries are typically well below UK equivalents for the same skill level. Every candidate still goes through the same Vesper matching and screening as a UK hire.
Vesper checks working-hours overlap as part of the match, so hybrid roles that need live collaboration aren't matched against candidates on the wrong side of the clock.
Starting with the Philippines, given the depth of English-speaking, hybrid-experienced talent there, with more markets added as demand comes in.
Offshore and UK roles sit side by side in the same TalentKnight dashboard — no separate tool to learn for international hiring.
Who employs the candidate?
TalentKnight sources and vets — we don't run payroll or hold employment contracts overseas. Most companies either engage offshore hires as contractors directly, or use an Employer of Record (EOR) service such as Deel or Remote to handle local payroll and compliance. We'll point you toward a sensible option for your situation, but that relationship sits between you and the candidate (or your EOR), not TalentKnight.
Common
questions.
Which countries does this cover?
We're starting with the Philippines, given the depth of English-speaking talent and existing hybrid/remote work culture there, then expanding into other developing markets as demand comes in. Tell us where you're hiring in the form below.
Does TalentKnight handle payroll and contracts?
No. We source and vet candidates the same way we do for every UK role. Employing someone overseas usually means either a direct contractor agreement or an Employer of Record (EOR) service like Deel or Remote — we'll point you toward a suitable option, but that relationship is between you and the candidate (or your EOR), not TalentKnight.
Is this live today?
We're building it out now. Register your interest and tell us what you're hiring for — early access goes to companies who register first, and it helps us prioritise which markets and roles to cover.
How is this different from a freelance marketplace?
Marketplaces like Upwork put the sourcing and vetting work on you. TalentKnight works the same way it does for UK roles — you describe the role in plain English, Vesper matches and ranks candidates against your brief, and you get a written reason for each match, not just a pile of applications to sift through yourself.
