Builders and Operators Who Deliver With Worca

"

Worca built and manages our 10-person SDR team in the Philippines. They outperform every outsourced sales team we've tried—more calls, more pipeline, and they actually care about hitting quota.

Our Worca bookkeeper works 10x harder than anyone we've hired locally—at a fraction of the cost. She's not just keeping the books, she's finding errors, flagging issues, and actually improving our operations.

We stopped interviewing dozens of candidates who looked great on paper. Worca pre-vetted engineers in Taiwan for the hunger and stamina we actually needed—now our engineering velocity speaks for itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of talent does Worca place?

Two tracks. Builders: product, AI, full-stack, and data engineering. Operators: revenue ops, business ops, finance, supply chain, customer success, and SDR/AE. If it's mission-critical and demands intensity, we cover it.

How is this different from a staffing firm?

Staffing firms are paid to move resumes. We're paid to stake a reputation. Steven personally scopes every engagement and signs off on every placement. Clients buy our judgment, not our throughput.

How selective is Worca?

Top 1%. We screen for skills, stamina, and hunger — so clients get talent who've already proven they can deliver, and talent joins a community of equally driven professionals.

How fast can I get matched?

Two days. Tell us what you need and we'll introduce you to pre-vetted talent within 48 hours. No recruiter back-and-forth, no months of interviews.

Where is Worca talent based?

Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, and Thailand — selected for English fluency, US-timezone overlap (4-8 hours daily), and cultures where hard work is the norm, not the exception.

Remote or in-office?

In-office. Worca operates coworking spaces in all key cities. Talent is expected to report to the office during working hours. 60 hours a week. No exceptions.
