Pear Tree helps Australian and New Zealand founders build high-performing offshore teams without the agency middleman.
As local hiring becomes more expensive and harder to fill, many operators are turning to offshore talent across engineering, development, marketing, accounting and operations at a fraction of local salary costs.
The offshore horror stories you hear usually aren’t a talent problem. They’re the result of outsourcing agencies that overcharge clients while underpaying staff. Pear Tree takes a different approach through a direct, transparent model where your team is paid fairly, fully compliant, and focused entirely on your business.
As part of the Day One community, you’ll receive a free team audit to identify where offshore talent could move the needle in your business.
