Our Story

Built From Experience, Not Theory

Our founders each built successful businesses using global teams in different ways. At Rupa Health, our team used global talent to power nearly every core function of the business, from marketing and operations to customer experience and executive support.

What started as a hiring decision became a better way to build companies — one rooted in systems and global specialization.

We didn't theorize about global talent.

We built real companies with it.

Meet Our Founders

Hire Overseas was built by founders who didn’t just believe in global talent — they built real companies with it.

After years of hiring, managing, and building teams across borders, our founders created Hire Overseas to help other founders design smarter systems and power them with the best talent in the world.

Philip Ruffini

Head of Growth at Rupa Health
Built one of the largest media teams in functional medicine by hiring 25+ remote contractors. Managed teams across customer success, content, and sales that proved successful

Harlan Rappaport

Startup Marketer Turned Outsourcing Expert
Left Wall Street to build a seven-figure email marketing business run entirely by overseas talent. Now helps startups find and manage remote teams that deliver Silicon Valley output – at a fraction of the cost.
Our Core Belief

Businesses Are Systems, Talent Is the Engine

Systems Thinking

Modern businesses are systems. Each function is a component. Each component needs an expert conductor.

Design to Win

The founders who win long-term aren't the ones who work harder — they're the ones who design better systems at lower cost.

Competitive Edge

The reality is simple: the companies with the highest-skill labor at the lowest cost always win.

The smartest way to build is with a hybrid team— where strategy meets precision.

In today’s world, it’s nearly impossible to find one person who’s great at everything. So instead of hiring generalists to do specialist work, we help founders build teams where generalists manage specialists — and the best specialists in the world live overseas.

We've reviewed thousands of candidates. We know who the best talent in the world is.

We tell you who to hire.

When we present someone, it's because we're confident they're the right person for the role. Only when personality fit matters do we offer choices — because culture still matters.
