What HR Network does

HR Network Incorporated is a Philippines-based, founder-owned HR services firm founded in August 1999, operating three integrated service lines: Third Party Recruitment Services (executive search and headhunting with a 200,000+ resume database and 6-month placement guarantee), Outsourced Business Services (contract-based staffing with proprietary payroll software, BDO cash card disbursement, and DO174-registered compliance), and HR Consulting Services (job evaluation, salary structuring, policy development, and training). The company serves enterprise clients across multiple industries — including manufacturing, technology, BPO, insurance, and retail — with notable logos such as AWS, Toyota, Bosch, Concentrix, AIG, Alphabet, Tata, Hitachi, and Hella. Its underlying technology stack is operational rather than differentiated: a proprietary payroll engine adaptable to varied cut-offs and pay standards, a candidate database built over 20+ years, and bundled third-party reference checking through MAQ Research, Inc.

The business model combines three revenue streams: success-based recruitment fees at 20% of Commencing Annual Gross Income (versus a 22-25% industry average), a 10% administrative service fee layered on outsourced staffing contracts, and HR consultancy retainers starting at ₱10,000/month or ₱300,000 per project. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales and direct client engagement, supported by account coordinators, 24x7 customer support, and referral-driven demand from a 200+ enterprise client base. The company operates a single headquarters in Quezon City with service coverage across the Philippines (Luzon and Visayas) and a regional Asia-Pacific presence spanning Singapore, Malaysia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Australia. Owner structure is private and concentrated among founders with no institutional investors or public-market exposure.
