Built by Engineers. Run by a CTO. Trusted for 18 years.

Custom Software Development Philippines

Hireplicity was built because the offshore development industry wasn't working. Body shops were winning pitches and underdelivering. Taylor Basilio, a US-based CTO, built the alternative — an engineering team that operates like a product team, is accountable like one, and has been doing it for 18 years.

US-Based Leadership

Founded in 2008, Hireplicity operates on a highly secure dual-national model. Our executive architecture and client relations are managed directly from Los Angeles, while our elite, direct-payroll software development squads execute from co-located Cebu hubs. No 1099 compliance liabilities, no unvetted home Wi-Fi networks — just pure sprint delivery.

From Taylor Basilio, Founder & CEO

I started Hireplicity in 2008 because I saw a gap in how offshore engineering worked. Clients were paying for "senior developers" and getting bodies who needed hand-holding. They were being sold "partnerships" and getting purchase orders. I was a US-based CTO who knew how to build software products — and I wanted to build a team that operated the way product teams do.

EdTech became our anchor because it is the most demanding software environment I know. FERPA compliance, multi-tenant architecture at scale, accessibility requirements, complex integrations — if you can build software that passes a FERPA audit and handles millions of concurrent learners, you can build anything.

Our EdTech depth is not a marketing claim. It is 18 years of shipped platforms.

We built our team in Cebu because the talent here is exceptional and overlooked. Our engineers are not cheap labor — they are skilled professionals who care about the product they're building. The cost efficiency is a benefit of geography, not a reduction in quality.

If your engagement isn't on track in the first 30 days, I'll fix it personally — or refund the month. I've been doing this for 18 years. I can afford to make that commitment because we rarely have to honor it.

Our Journey
18 years. Five milestones that define who we are.

From a single EdTech client in Cebu to 150+ companies globally — here's how Hireplicity was built.

2008
Founded in Cebu, Philippines.

Taylor Basilio, a US-based CTO, founded Hireplicity after seeing offshore body shops consistently underdeliver. The first client was an EdTech company. The mission was simple: build software the way a product team would.

First EdTech client Cebu, Philippines
2012
25-engineer team. First LMS at scale.

Four years in, Hireplicity had grown to a 25-engineer team and shipped its first large-scale LMS platform — serving thousands of concurrent learners across multiple institutions. EdTech was no longer just a vertical; it was the foundation.

25 engineers LMS at scale
2016
First FERPA/COPPA audit passed clean.

A major milestone: Hireplicity passed its first full FERPA and COPPA compliance audit with zero findings. This cemented the compliance-first development process that every platform has been built on since — not bolted on at the end.

FERPA audit ✓ COPPA audit ✓ Zero findings
2020
Expanded to SaaS. Introduced AI-assisted delivery.

The engineering discipline built for FERPA-grade EdTech proved to be exactly what SaaS companies at Series A and beyond needed. Hireplicity expanded its client base — and became an early adopter of AI-assisted development tools embedded throughout the SDLC.

SaaS vertical launched AI-assisted delivery
2024
60+ engineers. 150+ clients. 95% retention.

Today, Hireplicity is a 60+ engineer team across EdTech and SaaS, with 150+ companies globally and a 95% client retention rate. AI-assisted development is embedded in every engagement. The mission hasn't changed — the scale has.
