“During a period of rapid growth, [Ramp Remote] gave us access to talent we couldn’t find on our own. They guided each hiring manager through the process, helping us secure the right people with the right skillsets—perfectly matched to our culture. This has significantly reduced the cost of our delivery and back office by upwards of 40%.”
Paul PrichardGroup CEO, Overdose DigitalFind the right person for the work.
What good looks like
Agree what ready for release means and how test results are shared. Useful measures include bug reports your developers can reproduce, automated checks for your most important journeys and a clear regression list for each release.
Define who decides whether a release goes ahead. The tester reports risk and evidence; the release decision stays with your product owner or team lead.
Assess the right fit
Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.
Discuss experience with your product type, test tools and release cadence. Ask the candidate to explain how they would test a checkout or sign-up flow, prioritise when time is short and write a bug report a developer can act on.
Agree a short technical exercise with our team, using a sample application, sample repository or fictional data, and ask for a walkthrough of past work. Provide test environments and test accounts rather than production data, give only the access the role needs, and make sure production changes follow your review process.

Before you hire.
What the monthly price includesThe starting price is a guide for a full-time hire in the Philippines. Your quote confirms the total for your chosen person, agreed hours and service arrangements.
- Experience and scope: specialist skills, seniority and the responsibilities you need affect the price.
- Hours and coverage: agree the working week, time-zone overlap and any evening or weekend needs.
- What is included: ask for the breakdown of employment costs, our service, equipment and any one-off charges, with currency and applicable taxes stated.
We confirm these details before you commit. The starting price is not a fixed quote for every candidate.
Timing depends on the brief, candidate availability, interviews and any notice period. We will agree the next update and a target start date with you once those details are clear. If the right person is not currently available, we can recruit to your brief.
- Set the access: agree test environments, test accounts, the bug workflow in Jira and the severity levels you use.
- Handover one release: run your regression checklist together, then let the tester take the lead on a smaller change.
- Review the first release cycle: check bug report quality, coverage and any automation started, then agree the ongoing testing plan.
You can discuss a role without committing to a hire. Before proceeding, review your written quote and agreement for payment timing, currency and taxes, notice requirements, the support included and what happens if the hire is not the right fit.
We will confirm replacement arrangements and any conditions in your agreement before you proceed.
