About Us
About Us
Cloudstaff is very committed to creating new and exciting careers for our staff, building great tools and services for our global client base and developing innovative technologies that will shape the future of the outsourcing industry.
OUR STORY
Cloudstaff was established in 2005 by Australian Internet pioneer Mr Lloyd Ernst. The company initially focused on software development for Western markets.
In 2010, Cloudstaff identified the Philippines as an emerging market for outsourcing services and expanded operations to the region. As a result of the successful expansion, the company was able to extend its service offerings and workforce.
Because of the wealth of local talent and strong, experienced management, the company has continued to enjoy remarkable growth in all areas of its business year on year.
WANTING TO BE DIFFERENT
From the very start, we knew that the traditional model for outsourcing did not suit the vision we had for our business.
A clear decision was made that we would not compromise our values for profits. Our clients and our staff are our number one priority. We adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and Behaviour that ensures we deliver working conditions that meet (or exceed) western standards, comply with all local labor and tax laws, provide a safe and healthy work environment for our staff and support for their families and the community.
We have many years of experience in this industry and have seen the good and the bad in the way companies deal with their clients and staff – and we wanted to do better.
