BruntWork has expanded operations to eight countries while growing its remote workforce to more than 3,200 professionals, marking significant progress for the business process outsourcing company that now operates across 45 countries spanning Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa.
The company, which specializes in connecting businesses with skilled virtual assistants and remote professionals, has demonstrated consistent growth since its founding 15 years ago. The expansion comes as global demand for remote staffing solutions continues to rise, with the BPO industry projected to reach $59 billion by 2028.
Growth Fueled by Security and Technology
BruntWork's expansion reflects broader shifts in how companies structure their operations. The company maintains triple security certifications a combination that distinguishes it in an industry where data security concerns often limit outsourcing adoption.
"We're seeing businesses across all sizes recognize that remote talent isn't just about cost savings anymore," said Winston Ong, founder of BruntWork. "It's about accessing specialized skills and maintaining business continuity through distributed teams."
The company's workforce now includes professionals providing customer support, digital marketing, data analytics, content production, and industry-specific services. BruntWork reports a 14-day average deployment time for new hires, with agents working a minimum of 20 hours per week and offering 24/7 operational capability across multiple time zones.
Client Retention and Market Performance
BruntWork maintains a 98% client satisfaction rate and holds a 4.9-star rating across review platforms including Trustpilot, Google Reviews, and Glassdoor, based on more than 2,000 reviews. The company's employee satisfaction ratings match its client metrics, with 4.8 out of 5 stars for work-life balance, culture, and management.
The company achieved $418.7 million in revenue and experienced 700% revenue growth during the pandemic years, when many businesses accelerated their shift to remote operations. In 2022, BruntWork recorded 384% monthly recurring revenue growth and 39% annual employee expansion.
"Our triple certification status gives enterprise clients confidence that their data security requirements will be met, whether they're in healthcare, finance, or any regulated industry," Ong explained. "That's become a deciding factor for many organizations that previously handled everything in-house."
BruntWork serves primary client bases in Australia, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The company's talent pool draws from the Philippines, Colombia, Eastern Europe, and other emerging markets where skilled professionals can be matched with businesses seeking specific capabilities.
Technology Integration and Service Model
The company has developed proprietary technology to support its operations, including the BruntWork AI platform that offers AI-drafted responses and automation capabilities priced at $0.20 per hour. The platform includes RemoteDesk, which features continuous facial authentication for security monitoring.
BruntWork's service model includes recruitment, vetting, and ongoing management of remote staff. The company provides all-inclusive pricing that covers equipment, internet access, and fees, with no lock-in contracts to allow flexible scaling based on client needs. Businesses typically achieve 60-80% cost savings compared to hiring locally while accessing professionals with specialized skills.
The company's services include a virtual marketing assistant option for businesses seeking digital marketing support, as well as specialized roles across multiple business functions. This breadth allows BruntWork to serve diverse industries with varying operational requirements.
Industry Competition and Differentiation
BruntWork operates in a competitive market that includes Upwork's freelance marketplace, BELAY's specialized VA services, MyOutDesk's real estate-focused offerings, Toptal's premium talent network, and enterprise solutions from providers like Prialto. Regional players and emerging platforms add further competition.
"The challenge isn't finding remote workers anymore, it's finding the right remote workers who can integrate effectively with a client's existing team and processes," said Ong. "That's where our vetting and management systems create value that goes beyond simple staff placement."
The company received the Global Recognition Award for Outsourcing Disruption 2025, reflecting industry acknowledgment of its operational model and security standards.
Future Trajectory
With the BPO and remote staffing sector expected to grow substantially through 2028, BruntWork's expansion into eight countries and workforce growth to 3,200 professionals positions the company to capture additional market share. The company's 15 years of operational experience and demonstrated resilience through economic challenges provide a foundation for continued scaling.
The expansion reflects how remote work has evolved from a temporary pandemic response to a permanent operational strategy for many businesses. BruntWork's growth trajectory suggests sustained demand for outsourced services that combine cost efficiency with security compliance and technological integration.
The company's ability to maintain high satisfaction ratings while scaling rapidly indicates its operational systems can support further growth. As businesses continue evaluating remote staffing options, providers with proven security credentials and comprehensive service models are likely to capture market share from traditional employment models and less specialized competitors.
