Michael Brodie is the founder of VirtualStaff.ph and the creator of the VirtualStaff Seat System, a modern alternative to traditional outsourcing and offshore staffing agencies.

After years of seeing business owners struggle with inflated markups, recruiter-driven hiring, and unreliable offshore models, Michael set out to build something different — not another job board, not another BPO, but a system.

The result was VirtualStaff.ph: a plug-and-play way for businesses to build dependable, full-time back-office teams in the Philippines — without salary padding, outsourcing firm markups, or long-term lock-ins.

Through VirtualStaff Seats, businesses can add reliable Filipino staff directly into their operations — one Seat at a time — for roles like customer support, admin, billing, bookkeeping, and back-office operations.

Today, businesses across the US, Australia, and the UK use the VirtualStaff Seat System to build stable, long-term teams that simply work — while staying in full control.
