Founded For A Reason
My brother Jake and I had founded an e-commerce business and discovered a major challenge: hiring developers in the US and UK was tough.
Freelancer sites for one-off tasks were OK, but not inspiring, and finding full-time, committed employees was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Retention was poor, the time costs were outrageous, and local talent was ultimately disappointing.
We quickly realized that we had to look outside of the UK and US for the skills we needed, and soon discovered that the Philippines was a perfect fit.
This understanding, and our mission to widen access to incredible international talent, has guided us for more than 10 years.
Since starting in 2014, we now employ over 400 people, have launched in Latin America, and are helping businesses just like yours to get the talent they need to grow.

Life At Cloud
Employee
Our success grows from kindness. We create safe spaces where our teams belong, lift each other up across time zones, and choose ethical paths together.
We drive change forward, together. Our teams spot opportunities and speak up with solutions. Your bold ideas shape our future.
Our work sets new standards because we deliver outstanding value in everything we do. Together, we challenge each other to be the best we can.
Our curiosity powers our progress. We question what we know and grow together, tackling new technologies and challenges head-on.
We build a workplace that brings out the best in everybody. Our passion drives us, our creativity unites us, and have a great time doing what we do.
We value impact, more than just the effort, to help our teams and our clients grow. We prioritise smartly, automate efficiently, and focus on meaningful impact.
What the difference feels like:
I feel like the talent that we've got in the team here actually outshines our CTO and our tech lead over in the UK because they're so good. So when we assign a task, it's done before we can go back and write another task.
We spent four months trying to hire in the US. We engaged Cloud Employee and had two full-time developers onboarded in one week. The guys have been working with us for two years and we're now up to a team of six.
Our new developers were able to hit the ground running, we've worked with them for over two years now, and they are truly part of our team.
Working with Michael is great (our CE developer) - he's dedicated, very skilled, embedded right into our team, and really fits into our working culture. We just wish he lived closer so we could have him in office from time to time!
Working with Cloud Employee developers is great, because they're not afraid to push back. They're proactive, they're positive, and they feel like part of our team.
Seb and the team take great care of their staff, and you can see their focus on quality in the candidates they present. A reliable resourcing partner who genuinely understand the nuances of good staff augmentation.
We actually hired the whole team remotely, having never met them. And we made a bunch of really good hires. And that's pretty unique to be able to do that without having never met any of them.
What I love about Cloud Employee is that you've taken all of that hard work off my shoulders. When I was presented with a shortlist of candidates, I knew they were all technically proficient. I knew that they would fit in as part of the team.
