About Fostr

Built for the talent, not just the businesses hiring them.

Fostr exists because most outsourcing arrangements treat people as interchangeable: low-paid, high-turnover, and disconnected from the businesses they work for.

The model we built is simpler: source through personal connections, pay fairly, and stay involved long enough that the placement sticks.

"We wanted to focus on individual and small team hiring, not filling seats."
The idea behind Fostr
Our story

Why Andrew built Fostr

Andrew spent years working on outsourcing across the Philippines, South Africa, India, and Brazil. He saw what worked and what didn't.

The best partnerships he saw had one thing in common: they were built on trust, fair pay, and a genuine match between the person and the business.

"We wanted to focus on individual and small team hiring, not filling seats."

Fostr was built on that. By focusing our sourcing through our network, we introduce people who come recommended and not just people who applied. That changes who you meet, and how long they stay.

The founder

Andrew Zalewski

Andrew founded Fostr after seeing the same hiring problem play out across growing businesses: too many candidates, not enough signal. The people who actually made a difference almost always came through someone's network — not a job board.

He built Fostr to change that. The idea was simple: bring the relationship-driven approach to Philippine hiring that was previously only available to people with the right connections, and do it in a way that was genuinely fair to the professionals involved.

Today, Fostr has placed professionals with 50+ businesses across customer support, finance, operations, and more — and every hire is still approached the same way: understanding the business first, then finding the right person.

How we work

Relationships, not a database

When you brief us on a role, we go into our network and look for the right match for your specific business. If there isn't an exact match, we'll actively source to find the right candidate for you.

You meet fewer candidates, but better ones. Because we've done the work before the introduction, your time is spent on real decisions, not sorting through applications.

Once someone is placed, we are here for both sides. If something needs adjusting, we act on it quickly.

What we stand for

Three things we care about

Quality over volume

We'd rather make three great placements than thirty mediocre ones. Every person we introduce has been properly assessed.

Fair pay, lasting partnerships

Our professionals earn 1.5–2x more than traditional BPOs. Better pay means more motivated people, lower turnover, and better outcomes for everyone.

Deep market knowledge

We know the Philippines talent market from years of being in it. That context matters in who we find and how we match.
