What HammerJack does

HammerJack (legal entity: hammerjack Pty Ltd) is an Australian-managed offshore staffing and Employer of Record (EOR) platform headquartered operationally in the Philippines, with corporate presence in Sydney (Level 12, 50 Carrington Street) and a newer New York office. Founded in 2015, the company recruits, employs, and retains dedicated offshore professionals — over 1,000 skilled staff across its Makati City and Angeles City, Pampanga facilities — and assigns them to client teams across four core role categories: Sales & Marketing, IT & Software Development, Administrative Support, and Finance & Accounting. Its technology stack is built around security and workplace infrastructure rather than software products: ISO 27001-aligned Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) prevents local data caching, USB transfer, and unauthorized printing; enterprise-grade Class-A offices with total power redundancy and redundant business fiber internet eliminate residential workspace risk; and an internal ISSAC framework audits compliance and physical security. HammerJack also operates HR delivery, IT delivery, learning and engagement, and recruitment as bundled support layers around each placement.

HammerJack sells a managed services engagement structured around two transparent components: (1) Staff Direct Costs — basic salary, Philippine statutory benefits (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG), paid time off, health and life insurance, and retention incentives — passed through at cost, and (2) a Fixed Service Fee covering EOR compliance, HR extension, IT extension, and ongoing staff support. A one-time recruitment fee of $940 AUD per hire is the only upfront charge; no bonds, deposits, or termination fees apply, and a 6-month free replacement guarantee is offered. Indicative published offshore rates position bookkeeping VAs at $2,000 AUD/month versus $6,500 AUD onshore (a 69% cost reduction), senior accountants at $3,200 versus $9,500, and payroll support at $1,900 versus $6,000.

HammerJack targets Australian SMBs, mid-market, and enterprise businesses across Banking, SaaS, Accounting, Logistics, Retail, Fitness, Health, Architecture, Insurance, and Recruitment verticals via a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion. Demand generation is anchored in a content engine (blogs, case studies, Top-10 comparison guides) optimized for organic SEO on offshore staffing keywords, with consultative CTAs routing prospects to HubSpot-hosted discovery calls. Notable clients include Gateway Bank, SurePact, PKF Digital, Anytime Fitness, InBody, Morco Fresh, and Obsidian Advisory. The company reports a 23-day average time-to-hire and 93-96% staff retention (versus a 60-80% industry norm), has been recognized on the Fortune 100 Best Workplaces in Southeast Asia list in both 2025 and 2026, and was included on the OA500 2026 Global Outsourcing Index.

Core offering

HammerJack recruits, employs, and manages dedicated offshore professionals (primarily based in the Philippines) for Australian businesses across four role categories: Sales & Marketing, IT & Software Development, Administrative Support, and Finance & Accounting.

Product overview

The offering is structured as a platform-plus-services model: at its core, HammerJack recruits, employs, and retains offshore staff across four role categories (Sales & Marketing, IT & Software Development, Administrative Support, and Finance & Accounting), and surrounds each hire with a layered support infrastructure comprising Employer of Record (EOR) compliance management, HR delivery and employee engagement, IT delivery with secure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), and managed physical office workspace in the Philippines. Specialized offerings include dedicated offshore teams for bookkeeping (trained on Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks Online, Dext), accounting (20 role variants spanning tax, SMSF, audit, and consolidation), digital marketing, and virtual assistants. Clients retain full control over daily operations, tools, and performance management of their offshore staff.
