Plus Forty

In 2023, the founders of Plus Forty recognized a significant challenge facing consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands: hiring offshore talent felt like a gamble. Despite the potential cost savings and access to global talent, many brands struggled with finding qualified candidates, navigating communication barriers, managing delegation, and handling the extensive training required to build effective remote teams. These pain points created a real barrier to growth for scaling brands that needed reliable support but couldn't afford the risk of a bad hire.

Plus Forty was built to solve this problem. As a premium staffing agency based in Australia, the company specializes in finding, training, and supporting high-performance offshore teams for CPG brands. Their approach centers on pre-vetted virtual assistants who are specifically trained in e-commerce and CPG operations. By handling the entire sourcing process - including candidate screening, interviews, trial projects, and onboarding - at no cost to brands, Plus Forty removes the financial friction and uncertainty that typically prevents companies from exploring offshore hiring. The company focuses primarily on connecting Filipino talent with global CPG brands, offering roles spanning operations, customer service, marketing, sales, and finance.

What sets Plus Forty apart is their commitment to quality and ongoing support. Every placement comes with a dedicated account manager, monthly check-ins, and a satisfaction guarantee that includes free replacements if brands aren't happy with their hires. This hands-on approach ensures that offshore teams become true strategic assets rather than just another outsourced resource. For brands looking to scale efficiently while maintaining quality, Plus Forty offers a structured path to building remote teams that actually work.
