Character-first remote talent for UK businesses
You posted the role, screened the CVs, made the hire. It still didn't work. Brave Plum was built for that moment. We find Filipino professionals screened for who they are, not just what's on their CV.
"We don't just fill roles. We find people worth trusting."The Brave Plum Promise
Why Brave Plum
One honest conversation. Character first.
The right hire isn't just someone with the right skills. It's someone who shows up, communicates well, and actually cares about the work.
That's what we screen for. We spend time understanding your business before we go looking. Then we find that person specifically for you, not just whoever's available.
We stand behind every hire we make. Before placement, during onboarding, and every quarter after. A placement that lasts is the only one we're proud of.

FAQ
We don't publish pricing on the website. Every placement is different and we'd rather understand your role properly before quoting. Pricing is discussed in the free consultation. What we can say upfront: it's a flat fee. We never take a percentage of your hire's salary. You pay 50% to start the search, and the other 50% when your hire signs and starts. You don't pay in full until it works.
It depends on the role and how specific your requirements are. We don't pull from a waiting pool. we search specifically for your role when it comes in. We'll give you a realistic timeline in the consultation once we understand what you need.
The Search and Interview package includes one free replacement batch if the first placement doesn't work out. For Direct Hire and Team Build, we handle this case by case. We're not the kind of agency that disappears after the contract is signed. if something isn't right, we want to know.
Most remote roles. A few examples: virtual assistants, social media and marketing, graphic design and video editing, copywriting, web development, customer service, bookkeeping, ecommerce support, and email marketing.
If you're not sure whether your role fits, just ask. The consultation is free and there's no commitment.
Right now we focus on UK businesses. That's intentional. The founder has worked inside UK businesses and understands what UK employers actually expect. That specificity is part of what makes the placements last.
Platforms show you profiles. We find you a person. There's no scrolling, no bidding, no uncertainty about whether someone is actually right for your business. We have one conversation with you, we go look, and we bring you someone we'd stand behind. Every candidate goes through preparation before being presented. We check in every quarter. We care whether it works.
The Brave Plum Promise
Every quarter, we check in with both sides privately. Is the hire performing? Is the client treating them well? Is it working? A placement that lasts is the only one we're proud of.

"I walked away from an agency that wasted my time. I found my own client with one honest conversation and eventually got promoted. I built Brave Plum so that story becomes the standard, not the exception."
Brave Plum was founded by Charry Laurente. She started as a general virtual assistant and worked her way up to Social Media and Community Manager for a UK brand. She worked across service businesses, startups, and ecommerce.
She knows what UK employers actually expect. She knows what an overworked, underpaid VA looks like. And she knows what a great match feels like when both sides are respected.
That lived experience is the product.
What we stand for
The Team
Charry started as a general virtual assistant and worked her way up to Social Media and Community Manager for a UK brand that hired her after one interview. No rounds, no unpaid tasks, no exhausting proof of capability before the contract was signed. She worked across service businesses, startups, and ecommerce. She built Brave Plum because she knows what a good hire looks like from both sides of the desk. It does not need a series of interview rounds. She wanted to make that the standard, not the exception. Skills are teachable. Character is not.
Dreamerson built and maintains everything behind the scenes at Brave Plum. As co-founder and web developer, he ensures the experience for clients and candidates is seamless, professional, and built to last. He shares the same belief the company was founded on: that good work deserves a good platform.
