Staffhouse International Resources: The Award-Winning Leader in Professional Overseas Placement
How a 25-year veteran agency became the #1 skilled worker deployment company while maintaining a 100% zero-fee policy
By OFWjobs.org Editorial Team | Updated August 2025
In the crowded landscape of Philippine recruitment agencies, Staffhouse International Resources Corporation stands as a beacon of excellence and ethical practice. Since 1999, this 100% Filipino-owned company has built an impressive track record: #1 ranking among all overseas recruitment agencies from 2018-2021 in skilled worker deployment, partnerships with global giants like McDonald’s Canada, Pepsi Cola International, and BMW, and over 25,000 successful deployments across six continents—all while maintaining their revolutionary zero-fee policy for workers.
The Foundation: Built on Ethical Principles
Staffhouse International Resources was established during a pivotal time in 1999, when the Philippine recruitment industry was still developing standardized practices and professional protocols. Rather than following questionable industry norms, the company’s founders made a bold decision that would define their success: implement a strict “non-fee charging policy” where no placement fees, processing fees, or salary deductions are ever charged to workers.
This ethical foundation wasn’t just about doing the right thing—it was a strategic business decision. By eliminating worker exploitation, Staffhouse could attract higher-quality candidates who weren’t burdened by debt, leading to better placements and stronger employer satisfaction. The approach worked: within just a few years, they gained the trust of both candidates and some of the world’s biggest companies.
Record-Breaking Performance: The Numbers Speak
The agency’s commitment to excellence has translated into measurable success that sets them apart from over 1,000 other DMW-licensed recruitment agencies:

The Zero-Fee Advantage: Breaking Industry Norms
Staffhouse’s most revolutionary aspect remains their unwavering commitment to charging workers absolutely nothing for placement services. In an industry where workers often pay PHP 50,000-120,000 in various fees, this policy provides several crucial advantages:
For Workers
- No debt burden upon arrival at destination country
- Immediate earning capacity without loan repayments
- Financial stability from day one of employment
- Reduced vulnerability to exploitation and abuse
- Higher take-home pay without salary deductions
For Employers
- More motivated workers who aren’t stressed about debt repayment
- Better retention rates as workers aren’t seeking higher wages solely to pay loans
- Higher quality candidates who aren’t desperate due to financial pressure
- Improved productivity from workers focused on job performance, not debt stress
This model has proven so successful that industry observers and competitors have begun adopting similar approaches, though few match Staffhouse’s comprehensive commitment.
