Job Duck

What Job Duck does

Job Duck, LLC is a private remote-staffing company that sources, vets, and places college-educated, bilingual professionals from Latin America and South Africa into full-time, work-from-home roles with US-based businesses. Founded in July 2018 by two attorneys and rebranded to its current name in March 2020, the company operates as a distributed, remote-first organization legally domiciled in Nevis. Its core customer vertical is US law firms and professional-services companies, with active placements spanning estate planning, immigration, personal injury intake, legal compliance, legal scheduling, and case management, and a growing footprint in adjacent professional roles such as marketing management.

The operating platform is built on Workday as the applicant tracking system and careers portal, Zendesk for candidate support, and Microsoft Teams for live candidate engagement sessions. The product surface extends beyond pure placement to include a structured six-step application process (application submission, recorded video interview, screening conversation, document upload, US employer interview, onboarding), a content ecosystem (Weekly Tea YouTube series, Duck Life Live, webinar library, quarterly Quack Times newsletter, savings calculator), and a candidate community anchored by open Q&A sessions held twice weekly. Employer-side services include acting as employer of record for payroll and compliance, with pricing not publicly disclosed.

Job Duck generates revenue through employer staffing fees tied to placements of remote workers; salaries to placed workers are denominated in USD and disclosed transparently on the careers site (typically $1,015 to $2,000 per month depending on role seniority). The company has cumulatively placed 1,500+ professionals across nine countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, South Africa) and has been certified as a Great Place To Work for four consecutive years (2022-2026) with 86% employee approval. There are no disclosed funding rounds, parent entities, or acquisitions, and the company appears to be founder-owned and organically funded.

Broad incumbents

• Deel: Deel is a global EOR and international payroll platform that enables companies to hire and pay workers in 150+ countries. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Job Duck's employer-of-record capability but operates at vastly greater scale, technology depth, and geographic breadth.
• Remote: Remote.com is a global EOR, payroll, and contractor management platform that helps companies hire internationally. It is a broad incumbent comparable to Job Duck on the EOR and multi-country employment administration layer, but with a much larger customer base and product suite.

Direct peers

• SupportNinja: SupportNinja provides outsourced customer experience and back-office staffing, with operations in the Philippines and Latin America, serving US-based companies. It is a direct peer given its cross-border nearshore staffing model and overlapping SMB customer base.
• Boldly: Boldly provides premium remote executive assistants and specialists to US small businesses and entrepreneurs. It is a direct peer because both companies place vetted remote professionals into US SMB roles via a structured matching process, although Boldly draws talent primarily from the US.
• Wishup: Wishup provides pre-vetted remote virtual assistants, primarily from India, to US and UK businesses. It is a direct peer because of its similar SMB-focused remote staffing model and structured onboarding process, despite a different talent geography.
• Wing: Wing provides dedicated remote virtual assistants sourced primarily from the Philippines to entrepreneurs and small businesses worldwide. It is a direct peer in the structured remote-staffing-for-SMBs category, differing mainly in its talent geography.
• Time Etc: Time Etc connects US and UK businesses with vetted remote virtual assistants, primarily sourced internationally. It is a direct peer in the US SMB remote-staffing category with a similar vetting and matching workflow.
• Virtual Latinos: Virtual Latinos is a direct peer: it matches US-based businesses with bilingual remote professionals from Latin America for roles such as virtual assistance, marketing, and operations. The model, talent geography, and customer base closely overlap with Job Duck's.
• BELAY: BELAY matches US-based businesses with remote virtual assistants, bookkeepers, copywriters, and social media managers. It is a direct peer given its similar staffing-for-US-SMBs model, structured vetting, and emphasis on long-term placements.

Emerging players

• Remofirst: Remofirst provides global EOR, payroll, and remote hiring services targeted at startups and SMBs across multiple regions. It is an emerging player that overlaps with Job Duck's employer-of-record and remote staffing capabilities, though with a more technology-led, less verticalized model.
