At GrowFactor, we’ve always believed growth should be simple — but anyone who’s built a business knows that’s easier said than done.
One of the biggest challenges our clients have faced over the years?
Hiring.
Finding loyal, skilled, and affordable team members in the UK has become harder than ever. Recruitment costs are high, turnover is unpredictable, and scaling feels like a constant uphill climb.
It’s a problem we knew all too well - because we faced it ourselves.
Over 15 years ago, GrowFactor’s CEO Simon Kallu hired his first offshore team member in the Philippines.
It wasn’t part of a big plan - it started as a practical solution to a simple problem:
how do you scale your operations without compromising quality or profitability?
The results spoke for themselves.
That one hire turned into a growing offshore team - loyal, skilled, and reliable - that became the backbone of GrowFactor’s success.
Today, over 80% of our team is offshore, working directly with us every day across operations, marketing, and finance.
And as our clients saw how well it worked, the same question kept coming up:
“Can you help us build a team like yours?”
What started as quiet support for a few clients has now grown into a standalone company — GrowBeyond, part of the GrowFactor Group.
GrowBeyond is a UK-led recruitment agency connecting UK businesses with skilled full-time offshore staff from the Philippines.
From virtual assistants and marketers to designers, developers, and even senior finance leads — we help founders hire the right people, fast, for up to 75% less than UK salaries.
The difference?
Every placement is made with full UK-backed support — from recruitment and vetting to contracts and onboarding — so businesses can scale confidently without the usual headaches.
GrowBeyond was created by people who’ve lived through the same challenges as our clients.
Simon Kallu (CEO), Yasser Khan (COO), and Thea Dakanay (Head of Recruitment) bring decades of combined experience in business, finance, and global recruitment.
They’ve built high-performing offshore teams themselves — and now, they’re making it possible for other UK businesses to do the same.
Because no two businesses need the same kind of support, GrowBeyond offers three simple recruitment tiers:
Each client also gets access to a one-time onboarding pack (£100) and an optional Talent Success Subscription (£50/month) for ongoing HR guidance and performance tools.
No minimum contracts. No hidden fees.
Just fast, loyal, and fully supported offshore hires.
To make offshore hiring smarter, faster, and more human.
To help UK founders scale without burnout.
To connect brilliant people across borders.
That’s GrowBeyond.
And this is just the beginning.
