Why boutique

Most offshoring sells you headcount. We place people.

The big agencies win on volume. We win on fit. We help Australian firms grow by adding capacity that frees your local team for higher-value work, never replacing it.

01

Hand-picked, not assigned

We recruit and vet for each role individually. You see a shortlist and choose the person, no luck of the draw.

02

Partner-led

You deal directly with the principal, not a rotating account team. One relationship, full accountability.

03

A select client list

We deliberately keep our client list small, so every engagement gets real attention.

04

Built for finance

Started inside Australian financial services. We understand advice, compliance and why data handling can't be cut.

05

Fully managed

Recruitment, contracts, payroll, equipment and performance sit with us. You manage outcomes, nothing else.

06

Quality over cheap

Cheap labour is easy to find. Reliable, trained professionals are the hard part, and the only part we sell.

How it works

From first call to a working team, we aim for about two weeks.

01

Discovery

We map the tasks eating your time and the skills you actually need, then give you a clear plan and a fixed monthly price. No surprises.

02

Match & vet

We recruit for the role, test for skill and English, and present a shortlist. You interview and choose who joins your team.

03

Onboard & manage

We handle contracts, equipment, payroll and performance. You get a productive team member and one point of contact at Kauban.

Founder & Principal

"I've sat in these seats myself. I know the difference the right person makes, so that's the only kind we place."

Our story

Built by someone who's sat in your chair.

Kauban began inside the Australian finance industry, not a call centre. We know what a paraplanning file looks like, why compliance can't be cut, and what a missed client follow-up really costs.

Kauban is Bisaya for the person who works right alongside you. That's the relationship we build with our staff, and the one we build with you. We're not a faceless agency shipping out the cheapest labour we can find, we place people we'd be proud to have on our own team, and we stand behind their work. You get someone who genuinely cares about your business, not just another person at a desk.

The result is offshore staffing that feels like an extension of your business, not an outsourced afterthought.

Good questions

What firms ask us first.

Yes. Every professional we place signs a confidentiality agreement, works on secure systems and follows access controls suited to your industry. For finance clients we treat data handling as non-negotiable and build it into every engagement.
You direct the day-to-day work; we handle everything behind it, recruitment, contracts, payroll, equipment and performance. You always have one point of contact at Kauban.
If a placement isn't working, we replace them, no drawn-out process. Our agreements run monthly, so you're never locked in while you find out whether it works.
Big agencies optimise for volume. We take on a limited number of clients so each one gets real attention, hand-picked staff, and a principal who's accountable rather than a rotating account team.
One fixed monthly fee per professional, with no super, leave loading or software costs on top, typically a fraction of an equivalent local hire. Enquire for an exact quote.
