Beyond Borders Podcast Episode 030: Overview
What if you could scale your business globally while maintaining control over quality, efficiency, and costs? In this episode, we sit down with Nerissa Chaux, co-founder of Filta, a leading outsourcing and Employer of Record (EOR) firm that’s helping businesses access the world’s best talent.
Nerissa shares her entrepreneurial journey—from co-founding a national executive recruitment firm to launching Filta, now ranked among the top BPOs worldwide. We discuss the challenges of talent acquisition, the power of outsourcing, and the strategies that have made Filta a trusted partner for companies expanding internationally.
Plus, we explore Filta’s role in hosting the world’s largest official Shopify Meetup in the Philippines, how remote work is shaping the future, and what it takes to build a thriving global workforce.
Before launching Filta, Efren and Nerissa Chaux spent eight years building a national executive recruitment and search firm, successfully expanding its footprint while remaining competitive in a fast-paced market. However, as their business grew, they faced a common challenge—finding and retaining top talent without the high costs associated with local administrative functions. To overcome this, they turned to outsourcing in the Philippines, a strategic move that enabled them to scale efficiently while maintaining their high-quality standards and exceptional service levels.
Filta simplifies global hiring, making it easier for companies to access and retain the world’s best talent. As a premier provider of Employer of Record (EOR) services, Filta offers a full suite of solutions—including recruitment, operational support, office space, and equipment—ensuring seamless international expansion and operational efficiency.
Filta has earned industry recognition as a leader in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector:
– Top 500 BPO firms worldwide
– Top 10 “New Generation” BPOs in the Philippines
– #4 BPO in Colombia
– #13 in the Top 40 BPOs in the Philippines
Filta is proud to host the world’s largest official Shopify Meetup in the Philippines, bringing together over 1,000 retailers to foster collaboration, innovation, and business growth.
Through its commitment to education, empowerment, and expert support, Filta puts businesses and their employees in control—helping them scale smarter, expand globally, and thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
