Vince discusses the origins of ZigZag Global, starting as the back-end of his advertising agency in Australia and eventually expanding to establish a presence in Manila.
He highlights the company’s state-of-the-art office facilities in Manila, designed to provide a comfortable and conducive work environment for their staff.
Vince emphasises the strong talent pool and proficiency in English among Filipinos, making the Philippines an ideal destination for outsourcing and offshoring services.
He also shares insights into the cultural similarities between Australia and the Philippines, which contribute to successful business relationships.

We work with clients across Australia, New Zealand, and the USA, with most clients reporting an average of 70% cost savings when outsourcing with us.
If you are thinking of a specific role, chances are that someone has already found a staff member in the Philippines to do it. With high-speed internet available in the Philippines, anything that can be done on a PC or a phone can be done overseas. Everything from animation to engineering.
Generally, if we have staff members available within our organisation, you can get started on the same day. If we don’t, it will usually take between 3 to 6 weeks after we have custom designed your process/campaign to find a qualified professional.
We take data security and privacy of our client information very seriously. In our 15 years of operating in the Philippines, we have never had any data breaches. Every staff member handling sensitive information is required to use Teramind, a security tracking software, which is included in your price. This reports back to management and our full-time data security team of any potential breaches of our policies, which are all based on the internationally recognised security system ISO27001.
Once you hand over the role description, our in-house recruitment team will search through our existing networks to find potential candidates. We then conduct three separate interviews with the candidate. First, with our recruitment team, second with our Australian management, and the final one with you. All recruitment is free of charge, as your billing doesn't start until the day they start.
