Remote talent solutions, built on 24+ years across five markets
Part of the reason a Kuala Lumpur support desk or finance operations team has become expensive is that Malaysian remote workers are no longer competing for Malaysian salaries. An English-capable analyst in the Klang Valley who can work remotely is being approached by Singapore employers paying in Singapore dollars, and the local wage bill has moved to follow. Remote talent solutions is the answer to that in both directions: keep a function running with people based where the economics still work, or hire Malaysian talent for a regional role and hold onto them. Either way the person is properly employed by our local entity in their own country of residence, with a compliant contract, locally administered payroll and statutory contributions, and one monthly invoice to you. We operate locally incorporated entities across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.
How our monthly engagement works
One monthly rate per person, covering salary, every employer statutory contribution in that country, and our margin. It is set by the role, the seniority and where the person is based, agreed before anyone starts and held for the engagement term. Nothing is invoiced separately at month end.

When remote talent solutions makes sense
Three situations account for most of this work, and one boundary worth being clear about.
An existing function has outgrown its budget
A support desk, finance operations team or administrative function that has become expensive at Klang Valley wage levels, with attrition making it worse. The function keeps running and you keep operational ownership. The headcount sits where the economics work.
Retaining Malaysian talent being bid for regionally
The reverse case, and increasingly the common one. Someone good is fielding Singapore-facing remote offers, and the counter is not a local increment. Employing them through us for a regional role, benchmarked against the offer actually in their inbox, is usually cheaper than replacing them twice.
Capacity added without touching the salary band
Engineering, support or operations capacity added to your existing team, working your hours, in your tools, on your rituals, without opening a new band in your Malaysian structure or setting up an entity anywhere else.
One boundary worth stating: this is for named individuals who join your team and work your way. If you would rather hand the whole function over and hold us to a service level instead, that is BPO Services.

Frequently asked questions
Who employs the remote talent?
Each remote professional is employed by the local People Profilers entity in their country of residence - People Profilers Services Vietnam Company Limited for Vietnam-based talent, People Profilers (Services) Sdn. Bhd. for Malaysia-based talent, People Profilers Bangkok Recruitment Co., Ltd. for Thailand-based talent, and PT People Profilers Services for Indonesia-based talent.
You contract with us in Malaysia through People Profilers (Services) Sdn. Bhd. We handle local employment compliance - contracts, payroll, statutory contributions - end-to-end across all four markets.
How is Remote Talent Solutions different from BPO Services?
Both services have People Profilers as the legal employer of the staff delivering the work. The difference is process ownership and how you engage with those staff.
Remote Talent Solutions gives you named individuals integrated into your team. You see their names, you direct their day-to-day priorities, they onboard into your tools and workflows. They become part of your team in everything except the employment contract (which sits with our local PP entity for compliance). Pricing is per-head, billed monthly in SGD. RTS suits employers who want to reduce labour cost on a function they already run by using geographic arbitrage (hiring in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, or Thailand) while keeping operational control in-house.
BPO Services transfers an entire recurring function to People Profilers. We take ownership of the process - staffing it, managing it, delivering to documented SLAs and reporting monthly KPIs. You don't see or manage individual staff; you receive outcomes. Pricing is per-process or per-cycle. BPO suits employers who want to hand a function over completely - reception coverage, document admin, payroll, customer support, rather than supplement their existing team with named hires.
If you want named individuals on your team at lower regional cost, take RTS. If you want a function delivered with SLAs and no day-to-day involvement in the people, take BPO. Both run under the same legal entity (People Profilers (Services) Sdn. Bhd., SSM No. 202301013635 (1507557-T)). We can also start one way and evolve the engagement as your needs change.
How is the monthly rate calculated?
Salary, employer statutory contributions in the country where the person is employed, and our margin, combined into one figure. Statutory cost differs markedly between our markets, which is part of why the same role prices differently depending on where the person sits.
The rate is agreed before deployment and held for the term. There is no separate statutory invoice.
What about English communication levels?
It is worth testing against the actual work rather than in conversation. Someone who interviews fluently may still not be the right person to draft client-facing copy, and a role where written English carries the output narrows the field considerably in every one of our markets.
We screen to the level the role genuinely needs and say so at shortlist, rather than describing everyone as fluent.
How quickly can you deploy remote professionals?
Two to four weeks from brief to first day for most operations, support and finance roles, because remote candidates are generally not serving the long notice periods a local permanent hire would.
Specialist technical roles run longer. So does any start falling near Tet in Vietnam or the annual bonus in Thailand, when candidates delay moving, and we will flag that at briefing rather than after you have chosen someone.
