In the outsourcing landscape, many of our competitors, both onshore and offshore opt for practices that prioritize short-term gains at the expense of their employees and clients. This bombshell exposé from ProPublica shows how companies we all use every day, partner with outsourcers who are mobilizing elaborate legal constructs to get around labor laws.

Other unethical outsourcing companies treat people as disposable, paying below a living wage, offering minimal training, and cycling through people quickly. At HigherRing, we prioritize living wage compensation, benefits, paid training and cultivate an environment that fosters growth and opportunity.

We hire our entire team (both full and part-time people) as employees, and everyone is eligible for health care, company ownership, and other benefits such as paid time off.

What is ethical outsourcing?

Our CEO Michelle poses with one of our clients, Annelise.

We especially love working with clients who are mission-driven. Many of our clients have B Corp, 1% for the Planet, or Climate Neutral certifications just like HigherRing, or are nonprofits. Most of our clients are working to solve some of the world’s most critical challenges. Some examples of the great work of our clients, past and present, include:

  • DEIB awareness

  • creating equitable access to funding for underrepresented entrepreneurs

  • regenerative agriculture and nutrition access

  • access to clean energy options

  • fighting the opioid crisis

  • addressing social and emotional needs in classrooms

  • increasing the sustainability of packaged goods

  • providing more sustainable food options via meat/seafood alternatives

  • giving a second life to plastic waste to protect the health of our oceans

Our team members are often activists and many find their way to HigherRing because they are excited to support a client that is making the world a better place. Our employees are involved in reproductive rights, reducing food waste, improving access to nutrient dense foods, reducing food deserts, fighting for fair wages, creating urban ecosystems that provide education and increased access to fresh foods, advocating for equitable voting rights, animal rescue initiatives + more!

We’re Client Mission Aligned

Our Hiring Model

Our CEO Michelle, founded HigherRing in response to the unethical treatment she saw in her work with big retail and tech start-ups where team members on the front lines of the brand experience were treated differently than people at the corporate level — often hired as 1099 contractors with low pay and no benefits.

HigherRing was founded with a mission to create quality remote job opportunities with full W-2 employment status for each team member.

We offer livable wages, benefits and employee stock incentive plans, to name a few because we know care for our team directly translates into care for our work, excellent performance and a worthwhile return on investment.

Motivated team members produce better work.
