Our Story

Two Founders. One Clear Mission.

Remote Staff was built to solve a real problem — the growing demand for skilled professionals in Ireland, and an exceptional talent pool in South Africa that most Irish businesses never knew existed.

Why We Started Remote Staff

Remotestaff.ie didn't start in a boardroom. It is started with a relationship. Anthony, an Irish entrepreneur and business consultant, and Roxanne, a South African-born operator with over 10 years’ experience building and running businesses, saw first-hand what most agencies never will: how naturally Irish and South African professionals work together when the cultural bridge is already built.

That personal connection is why every placement at Remote Staff is different. Roxanne knows the South African talent market inside out the universities, the work ethic, the professional culture. Anthony knows what Irish business owners actually need: reliability, clear communication, and people who just get on with the work. Together, they personally vet every candidate and manage every placement.

No algorithms. No outsourced recruiters. Just two people who stake their reputation on every hire they make.

The people driving the vision behind Remote Staff — building something they believe in,

one placement at a time.

Anthony Tattan


Anthony Tattan

Commercial Director

Anthony has spent over a decade helping Irish businesses grow — first as a consultant, then as an entrepreneur. He founded RemoteStaff.ie because he kept seeing the same problem: Irish SMEs paying premium recruitment fees for average talent, or struggling to scale because local hiring was too slow and too expensive. He leads client relationships and commercial strategy, making sure every placement genuinely solves a business problem, not just fills a seat.

Roxanne Tattan


Roxanne Tattan

Co-Founder & COO

Roxanne grew up in South Africa and built her career there — 10+ years founding and running businesses across multiple sectors. She knows the talent landscape better than any job board: which universities produce the strongest graduates, which industries develop the sharpest professionals, and what it takes for a South African hire to thrive in an Irish business environment. She personally interviews every candidate RemoteStaff presents, and oversees onboarding and ongoing performance to make sure standards never slip.

Deep Professional Talent Pool

South Africa produces over 180,000 university graduates per year across business, finance, technology, and creative disciplines.

Cultural Compatibility

Strong work ethic, professional culture, and a genuine understanding of Western business expectations make integration seamless.

Our Values

The principles that guide every placement we make

Quality Over Volume

We'd rather present three exceptional candidates than twenty average ones. Your time matters.

Long-Term Partnership

We measure success by how well your hire performs 12 months in — not just the day they start.

Transparent at Every Stage

No hidden fees, no black-box processes. You're informed and in control from brief to placement.
