# Pear Tree

> Pear Tree connects Australian and New Zealand businesses with skilled offshore talent through direct hire placements in the Philippines and South Africa.

## About

Pear Tree is an offshore talent placement company based in Australia, serving businesses across Australia and New Zealand. Unlike traditional offshore recruitment agencies and BPOs, Pear Tree operates a direct hire model — businesses hire talent directly with no agency margin on wages, full transparency on costs, and long-term team integration.

Pear Tree was founded to fix the problems with traditional offshore hiring: hidden fees, lack of transparency, high turnover, and poor cultural alignment. The direct hire model means businesses pay their offshore team members' wages directly with no markup, resulting in savings of up to 70-80% compared to local hiring rates while ensuring fair pay for talent.
