AIS Global

What AIS Global does

AIS Global Group is a privately held, founder-owned international workforce solutions provider founded in 2016 and headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. The company connects businesses in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines with skilled Filipino talent through three specialist service divisions: Recruitment & Migration (end-to-end international placement with in-house immigration management for Australia, NZ, and the UK), Offshore Virtual Staff (dedicated Philippines-based teams working exclusively for a single client, billed weekly with no lock-in), and Strategic Labour Hire (flexible placement of tradespeople and professionals with AIS acting as employer of record managing contracts, payroll, compliance, and HR).

The underlying capability is operational rather than technological: AIS owns the entire value chain in-house across all four geographies, including recruitment, immigration, and a pastoral care function that supports relocated professionals from pre-departure through settlement. It maintains physical offices in Auckland, Tauranga, Melbourne, Wirral (UK), and Manila (talent sourcing hub), with no disclosed use of third-party outsourcing for core processes. The company positions a 60% cost-saving outcome versus equivalent local hires, supported by claims of 500+ businesses served, 500+ placements, and a 4.9/5 client satisfaction rating.

The revenue model is a blend of placement/professional services fees for permanent recruitment, usage-based weekly billing for offshore virtual staff, and managed services contracts for labour hire placements structured as medium-to-long-term engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led via dedicated regional teams in each country, with consultation-driven website funnels, organic social presence on Facebook and LinkedIn, and word-of-mouth referrals. Leadership is founder-led, with co-founders Mike Milligan and Andre Jay active as Directors across multiple jurisdictions alongside in-country Directors/Managers in Australia, the UK, and the Philippines. The company has no external institutional investment, no disclosed AI/technology platform, and no app, API, or SDK product surface.

Broad incumbents

• Deel: Global EOR and payroll platform enabling cross-border hiring and contractor management. Competes with AIS's EOR and international recruitment capability at scale, though primarily tech-enabled rather than service-led.
• Concentrix: Large global BPO and customer-experience outsourcing firm with Philippines operations and offshore staffing capability. Adjacent competitor for enterprise offshore staffing mandates.
• Adecco: One of the world's largest staffing firms with broad contingent workforce, permanent placement and recruitment process outsourcing offerings. Competes with AIS in the same ANZ and UK labour-hire categories at greater scale.
• Remote: Global HR platform providing EOR, payroll and contractor management across 80+ countries. Overlaps with AIS's international recruitment and EOR offering but delivers primarily via software rather than managed-service delivery.
• ManpowerGroup: Global staffing and workforce solutions provider offering permanent placement, temporary staffing and RPO. Overlaps with AIS's Recruitment & Migration and Strategic Labour Hire offerings across international markets.
• Hays: Global recruitment and workforce solutions firm with strong presence in Australia, NZ and the UK — overlapping with AIS's primary construction and professional-services recruitment footprint.

Direct peers

• 1840 & Company: US-based offshore staffing and BPO provider sourcing primarily from the Philippines and South Africa. Operates a comparable dedicated-virtual-staff model with employer-of-record services across multiple jurisdictions.
• Cloudstaff: Australia-founded offshore staffing specialist operating from the Philippines with offices across multiple countries. Direct competitor in the same offshore virtual-staff category serving ANZ and international SMB/enterprise clients.
• Outsourced Inc: Philippines-headquartered offshore staffing provider placing dedicated virtual teams for international clients. Closely mirrors AIS's Offshore Virtual Staff division with similar cost-arbitrage model anchored on Filipino talent.

Regional players

• HAYS Talent Solutions: ANZ-focused recruitment and workforce solutions arm of Hays, with construction and infrastructure vertical depth comparable to AIS's primary NZ/AU customer segment.
