Hireplicity

Hireplicity is a US-founded offshore software development company based in Cebu, Philippines, operating since 2008. The company pairs US-based leadership (CEO and founder Taylor, a Filipino-American with 20+ years in software architecture) with a Philippines engineering team of 60+ professionals. It specializes in custom software development, with particular depth in education technology—having built 50+ EdTech projects including learning management systems, assessment platforms, and student data tools. The firm works with startups, scale-ups, and enterprises across North America, Europe, and APAC, serving 150+ companies globally.

Services and capabilities

Hireplicity offers a range of engagement models tailored to different business stages. Full-cycle software development spans discovery, UI/UX design, development, testing, and post-launch support. Project-based delivery handles fixed-scope work with milestone-driven timelines. Dedicated offshore teams function as long-term extensions of in-house staff. IT staff augmentation fills skill or capacity gaps. The company also provides QA and DevOps services, including automated and manual testing, AWS support, and 24/7 technical support.

On the technical side, Hireplicity works across JavaScript (React, Vue, Node), Python, PHP (Laravel), Ruby on Rails, Java, .NET, databases like PostgreSQL and MySQL, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). The team has growing capabilities in AI and blockchain. For EdTech specifically, the company builds learning analytics tools, compliance-ready systems (FERPA, COPPA, WCAG), and integrations with student information systems and single sign-on platforms.

A notable offering is "CTO-on-Demand," where the CEO and senior architects provide fractional technical leadership to guide product strategy, architecture decisions, and roadmap alignment.

How they work

Engagements follow a four-phase process: Pre-Discovery (collaborative scoping), Discovery (detailed specification), Development (analysis, design, coding, testing, deployment), and Deployment (environment setup and release). The company emphasizes agile delivery with short sprints producing testable, validated software each week. Teams adapt as scope or staffing needs evolve. Onboarding typically takes 2–4 weeks from initial consultation to team mobilization. Direct developer access is standard via Slack, Jira, Zoom, and similar tools. The firm claims to adjust hours to match client time zones and enable real-time collaboration. Cost advantage ranges from 40–70% compared to US or European hiring, depending on scope and team size.

Team and credentials

The company's engineering team of 60+ is based in Cebu, the Philippines. Taylor (CEO and founder) has 20+ years in software architecture and product development. The team is described as English-fluent and culturally aligned with US and European work practices. In 2024, Hireplicity was recognized as a Top Offshore Software Development Partner by Clutch. The source does not mention ISO certifications, SOC 2, or other third-party security certifications. The company operates under Philippine labor law and data protection standards.

Notable work

The source mentions 50+ completed EdTech projects but does not name specific clients by company name (most testimonials are attributed anonymously or by individual title). The types of projects described include learning management systems, programming education platforms, student data platforms, engagement tools, and assessment engines. One specific example: in 2016, the company designed and launched a custom e-learning platform for teaching programming to IT and non-IT students. Client testimonials highlight ownership of projects ("approaches the project as if they are the founders") and proactive collaboration. The company claims 150+ global partnerships and has taken 30+ companies from idea to market.
