Vetted Filipino professionals — executive assistants, customer support specialists, paralegals, bookkeepers — placed by a firm founded by employment lawyers and HR innovators. Properly contracted, fully compliant, genuinely yours.
Free 15-minute call · A costed recommendation · No commitment
Tako wasn't started by recruiters. The people who founded it also run a Philippine law firm and an HR consultancy — so the parts everyone else leaves to chance are simply in-house here.
Tako's founders include partners of Tancinco and Mangco Law. Your employment contracts, confidentiality terms and the structure of the engagement itself are drafted by people who would defend them in a dispute. Most outsourcing firms buy that advice in once something has already gone wrong. Here it was in the room from the start.
Tako shares a founder with HR Spectacles — the first full-service HR consultancy in the Philippines and a DOLE Productivity Olympics national winner. That is where the people side comes from: recruitment, onboarding, payroll and employee welfare run on an established consultancy's methods, not improvisation. It is why Tako teams stay, and why performance holds past month three.
Every placement is a properly employed Philippine worker — real contracts, statutory benefits, full Department of Labor and Employment compliance. Not an anonymous contractor with no paper trail and no recourse.
Under ten staff, the invoicing, the inbox, the scheduling and the chasing all land on the owner. It is the only labour in the business nobody costs — and it is the most expensive hour on the payroll.
That figure is before you pay anyone a salary. It is what the work already costs you — in the one resource you cannot buy more of.
Get that time backA 15-minute call. We map the tasks you'd hand over and tell you what the right team looks like — roles, structure and cost.
Screened, skills-tested and interviewed before you ever see a CV. You meet the finalists. Nobody joins your team without your yes.
Contracts, payroll, statutory benefits and compliance sit with us. You get the output and an account manager, not an admin burden.
Manila is where the work happens. Our clients are not — and that is the entire point. Teams are built around your working day, in your language, inside your tools, wherever your business is. These are the markets we are running in today.
One specialist or a whole department — matched to your workflow, not just your job description.
Your team arrives already fluent in the tools that make them faster — and trained on where not to use them.
The discipline Tako was built on — run by the people who do it for Philippine employers every day.
"Will the quality actually be there?"
Every candidate is screened, skills-tested and interviewed before you see a shortlist — and you interview them too. Nobody joins your team without your yes. If the fit is wrong, we replace them.
"What about communication and timezone?"
The Philippines is the world's third-largest English-speaking country, with a business culture closely aligned to the UK and Australia. Your team works your hours — you're not waiting overnight for a reply.
"Is this actually legal and above board?"
This is the part most outsourcing firms quietly skip, and the part our founders built the company around. Your team is properly employed under Philippine law — real contracts, statutory benefits, full DOLE compliance. Not anonymous contractors on a marketplace with no paper trail and no recourse.
"Can I trust them with sensitive data?"
Confidentiality and data protection are contractual, not aspirational — backed by the same legal and HR bench that structures the employment itself. It's why clients in healthcare, finance and legal work with us.
Tako exists because the hard part of outsourcing was never finding talent. It was employing people properly — and most firms never solved it.
Fifteen minutes, no pressure, no obligation. You'll leave with a concrete recommendation — roles, cost and timeline — whether or not you work with us.
