Built for ambitious teams that move fast.
Philippines-based talent
Skilled professionals across support, ops, finance and tech.
Dedicated staffing model
Full-time team members focused on your business.

From sourcing to ongoing staffing administration.
The post-funding hiring challenge
The round closed. Now the roadmap needs people.
Investors expect milestones. Customers expect answers. And every local hire adds months of recruiting and a permanent line in your burn.
Burn climbs fast
Local salaries, benefits and overhead add up quickly across even a handful of hires.
Recruiting takes time
Founders lose weeks to sourcing and interviews instead of building and selling.
Runway gets shorter
Fixed costs committed early leave less room to adjust if growth takes longer than planned.
How Delego adds execution capacity, cost-effectively.
Dedicated people. Full-time professionals (typically ~160 hrs/month) who work only on your business.
We handle the staffing. Sourcing, screening, payroll and HR administration support, per your agreement.
You direct the work. Your priorities, your tools, your workflows — and room to expand when you're ready.
