Built by operators who have hired thousands of people.
Lioncrest People exists because the cost of building a team should never be the reason a good business stops growing.
Byron Van Gisborne
Award-winning entrepreneur, workforce strategist and founder of multiple recruitment businesses across Australia and Asia-Pacific.
Byron spent fifteen years building recruitment companies — placing thousands of people and watching the same pattern repeat in every client boardroom. Ambitious operators with strong demand and thin margins, held back by the cost and scarcity of local talent.
Lioncrest People was built to break that constraint properly. Not with freelancers or hourly marketplaces, but with real employment: full-time professionals in the Philippines, hired to a standard, paid fairly, supported by a local HR and management infrastructure, and embedded into the client's business as a genuine extension of the team.
Today Lioncrest supports more than 500 businesses across construction, financial services, healthcare, technology, real estate and professional services — with 95% retention and an average of 17 days from first conversation to a new hire in seat.
Help businesses scale through world-class offshore teams.
We believe overhead should never determine ambition. Our job is to give founders and executive teams the leverage that used to be reserved for enterprise — a capable, permanent team, at a cost base that makes growth compound rather than stall.

Four standards we don't move on.
Partner, not vendor
We sit on your side of the table. If offshore isn't the right answer for a role, we say so.
Employment, done properly
Fair pay, real careers, genuine benefits. Retention at 95% is an outcome of that, not a marketing claim.
Numbers over narrative
Every engagement is measured. Savings, output and retention are reported, not asserted.
Long horizons
Rolling terms and no lock-in. We keep clients for years because the model compounds.
