Taking you global

We have locations in the Philippines, Portugal, Malaysia and are Head Quartered in California. We made the Philippines the key location for our workforce as we believe it is the best location for English language support. It is cost-effective, has considerable cultural compatibility, strong English language proficiency, a highly skilled workforce, and a track record of outsourcing.

Scaling start-ups are rarely in a position to commit to fixed project requirements. As the business grows, requirements change, and so do we. We pride ourselves on agility and responsiveness, which is why we chose the Philippines as our key location. We love the Filipino can-do attitude that is one of problem-solving, empathy, and flexibility.

Global Team, Shared Values

Our Vision: To be the most trusted outsourcing partner for the world’s entrepreneurs and innovators.

Shared values
Grit
We never give up. We don’t always know the answer, but we don’t give up until we crack it. Sticking at it makes us stronger.
Curiosity
We want to know you, what makes you tick and what it will take to help you grow.
Learning
Learning is the key to mobility, growth and transformation. It’s a commitment. We’re committed.
Grace
The unconditional love for our fellow man. What is this world without love – merely a transactional scorecard of winners and losers. We don’t want to reinforce that operating system. We are driving a paradigm shift to an infinite mindset where we start from the knowledge that there is plenty to go round.
Honesty & Sincerity
Being true to ourselves. Being honest, being open, trustworthy and truthful.
Integrity
Integrity is standing up for what we believe is right and living by our highest values.

Empowering our people. Powering your business.

We believe that when our people thrive, our clients thrive too. When we all thrive, the world becomes a better place.

At Enshored, this means:

  • We support our people to achieve their potential and contribute to their best ability through structured learning and career development.
  • We embrace diversity. We understand that people are all different and need different challenges. We don’t treat individuals as cogs in the machine.
  • We provide the environment, tools, and support system to thrive.

“Basically, people are important at Enshored. That’s what comes across. And to us, that is really, really important.”

Gary McGrath | Paddle Success Operations Manager

Solving complex problems

Scaling start-ups are rarely in a position to commit to fixed project requirements and onerous contracts. As your business grows, the deliverables change and you need agility and responsiveness. That is why we chose the Phillipines. We love the Filipino can-do attitude that somehow manages to follow your operating rules while problem-solving empathetically.
