Hiring the right people can feel like a leap of faith especially when they live on the other side of the world. Last week, we explored why direct hiring in the Philippines could transform your Pilates business. This week, we go deeper into the how. 

In this episode, David Gunther is joined again by John Jonas, founder of Onlinejobs.ph, to break down the exact steps to finding, hiring, and keeping skilled Filipino professionals without the costly agency middleman. 

You’ll discover: 

• Why building mutual trust is the non-negotiable first step 
• The hidden costs of agency hiring - for you and your worker 
• How to spot, recruit, and onboard the right person for your Pilates business 
• Cultural insights that make-or-break remote working relationships 
• Real-world success stories from small business owners who got it right 

Whether you’re looking for admin help, marketing support, or a loyal client service manager, this conversation will help you bridge the gap from uncertainty to long-term success.
