Remote Talent Solutions Indonesia
Indonesian professionals working remotely for your team, employed locally through our own entity
Indonesian professionals working remotely for teams based anywhere, employed properly through our locally-incorporated Jakarta entity. We recruit them, put them on a local contract, and handle BPJS Kesehatan and Ketenagakerjaan, PPh 21, THR and the reporting that goes with being an employer here. Your managers direct the work. One monthly rate, one invoice.

How it works
1
Scope
Settle the role, which hours need to overlap with your team, how much of the work is written rather than spoken, and where the person should be based.
2
Source
We shortlist from our own network across the five markets, screening against that brief instead of a generic remote-worker profile. Nobody is placed before you have interviewed them.
3
Employ
The local employment contract is issued by our entity, and payroll, contributions and statutory filings run in whichever country the person is based.
4
Operate
It arrives as one monthly invoice. The work is yours to direct; the employment, the payroll and the compliance remain ours.
Remote Talent Solutions - built on 24+ years across 5 markets
Geographic wage arbitrage works when the employment relationship is handled properly. Every remote professional you engage through People Profilers - whether a customer support specialist in Jakarta, an operations coordinator in Kuala Lumpur, a finance analyst in Bangkok, or a software engineer in Ho Chi Minh City - is fully employed by our local People Profilers entity in that country. That means locally compliant employment contracts, locally administered payroll and statutory contributions, and a single monthly invoice to you covering the full cost of engagement - typically at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent hire in a higher-cost market. Built on the People Profilers group's regional presence across SEA since 2002, delivered locally through our Indonesia HR practice - with the operational discipline of an established regional HR group, not a generic offshore staffing platform.
How our monthly engagement works
Each person carries a single monthly figure. Inside it: their salary, the employer share of BPJS Kesehatan and Ketenagakerjaan, the year's THR accrual, PPh 21 handling, and our administration. Billed in rupiah, once a month, to one contact. Duration and notice are settled in the engagement letter before onboarding.

Nobody placed this way is a contractor. Each holds a local employment contract with our Indonesian entity, which is what keeps co-employment questions off your side of the arrangement. The monthly figure is what employing them here costs, in full.
When Remote Talent Solutions makes sense
The point of this arrangement is that you get named people rather than a service, and they are employed here rather than engaged as contractors. Three situations account for most of it.
Lower cost on an existing function
A regional or overseas team wants to build a function in Indonesia without incorporating a company to do it. Support, finance operations, engineering, back office: the people are here, the management sits wherever it already sits, and nobody spends six months on a PT PMA before the first hire starts.
Scale capacity without scaling your Indonesia salary band
An Indonesian employer that wants to add capacity without expanding its own payroll and the administrative load that comes with it. The new people work inside your existing tools and routines. What changes is who carries the employment obligations, not who runs the team.
Reduce attrition exposure with managed regional employment
Turnover in transactional roles is costly wherever it happens: recruiting again, training again, and losing whatever the last person had learned. Because the employment sits with us, that cost sits with us too. You see a seat that stays filled.
This is all on the assumption that you want particular people. Where you would rather define a process and a service level and stop thinking about the staffing, that is BPO Services.
How distributed teams are engaged
Admin, operations, customer success, content and marketing teams built in Indonesia and across the region, vetted for remote-readiness and English-speaking client contact. PT People Profilers Services employs the team and handles contracts, statutory contributions and payroll; you manage the day-to-day work.

Frequently asked questions
Who employs the remote talent?
Our Indonesian entity holds the employment contract. BPJS Kesehatan and Ketenagakerjaan registration, PPh 21 withholding, THR paid ahead of the holiday: all of it handled where the law says it should be.
Companies commonly start by paying people here as freelancers or through an overseas contractor agreement. It works until somebody examines it, and the party directing the work is the one left explaining. Proper employment closes the question instead of deferring it.
How is Remote Talent Solutions different from BPO Services?
The distinction is whether you are buying people or output.
Named individuals report to your managers, sit in your tools, appear in your org chart, and take their priorities from you. We employ them; you run them.
BPO reverses that. You set the process and the standard it must hit. Staffing is our problem, and absence is our problem too, because the cycle still has to close.
One constraint applies to both. Indonesia has specific rules on which functions may be outsourced, so we confirm the permitted scope for each role before any engagement begins.
How is the monthly rate calculated?
Salary for the role in this market, plus the employer contributions owed on it, plus THR accrual, plus administration and compliance cost. PPh 21 comes off the employee side and is remitted by us. No later invoices.
Seniority and scarcity account for most of the variation, with the relevant provincial or district wage floor setting a lower bound. The rate is quoted before commitment and holds for the term, moving only if statutory rates themselves do.
What about English communication levels?
Judged by what the role requires, not by a test score. Someone working mainly inside finance systems needs something different from someone handling your customers all day, and applying one standard to both produces bad matches at both ends.
Screening is done against the actual requirement and you interview before placement. A language mismatch should surface in that interview, not once the person is three months into the job.
How quickly can you deploy remote professionals?
Operations, support and administrative roles around Jakarta typically shortlist inside a fortnight, and what governs the start date after that is the notice the person owes their current employer.
Specialist and technical hiring takes longer, more so when an uncommon language pairing is required. You will get a figure for your brief rather than an average that fits nobody's.
