Outsource a Remote IT Support Technician
Vetted, MSP-Experienced & Ready to Start
Bring on a dedicated remote IT support technician who integrates seamlessly into your helpdesk’s team and tools. We recruit, vet, and onboard technicians who integrate into your PSA/RMM workflows and resolve tickets, while we handle admin, payroll and compliance.
Discover how a remote MSP technician can reduce ticket pressure, improve MTTA and first-contact resolution, and give your helpdesk stronger coverage.
Why MSPs hire our technicians
A dedicated remote IT Support Technician helps MSPs reduce ticket backlog, improve response times, and deliver consistent client experience – without the hassle of interviewing endless candidates and the hiring overhead and high costs of local staff.
With pre-vetted technicians who pass our training and testing program, you can scale your helpdesk quickly and predictably. This is the fastest way for MSPs like yours to add coverage, reduce aging tickets, and improve SLA responsiveness without the struggle of recruiting new staff from scratch in house.
Because CVs can be misleading, we validate skills with real tickets in VM tests and recorded candidate videos, so you can see how they work and communicate before you even interview them.
Faster Helpdesk Relief
Add vetted MSP technicians without months of time-consuming recruiting efforts. Reduce ticket backlog, improve response times, and give your team breathing room.
Reliable Remote Talent
Every candidate is screened for technical ability, communication, customer service, and real MSP support scenarios before they get presented to you.
Save Without Cutting Corners
Reduce staffing costs while still giving your MSP dedicated, long-term technicians supported by our admin, finance and contract management teams.
We’ll send sample technician profiles with recorded videos, their work experience, and real ticket notes they’ve made in our training and testing program.

MSP Growth Stories
Scaling an MSP is not just about adding people. It is about finding the right people, building the right structure, and keeping service standards high as demand increases. These stories show how Support Adventure helps MSPs do exactly that.
How CMIT Found Better Techs Faster
Atlanta, GA, USA
Frustrated with job boards, LinkedIn, recruiters and other agencies, an Atlanta MSP’s staffing struggle ended when they found Support Adventure.
While filling key roles, Support Adventure also helped them revolutionize their hiring process, upping their game on SOPs, role documentation and cultural fit. Their staffing never looked the same.
“Support Adventure checked all those boxes for us. The one unique thing about when we went through the onboarding and the actual interview process with Support Adventure that we loved was Support Adventure was requiring us to provide documentation processes, escalation processes, training regimen, onboarding process for new employees.”
Doug, President of CMIT Solutions, Atlanta Southern Crescent
How a 220-Person MSP Hires Top Techs
Nationwide, usa
As a growing 220-person remote MSP, TechMD needed a partner that understood their scale and culture, and found it with Support Adventure’s global team of technical talent.
The talent stood out, ranking in the top 5-10% of TechMD’s staff and integrating so well they now help lead and delight clients alongside their US-based colleagues.
“There are a couple Support Adventure team members who technically are among our top probably 5-10% of all of our technicians and really help lead the way for other members here at TechMD.”
“Not only did you guys deliver, but you also exceeded some of our expectations with some of the employees that we had from a technical level… they’ve even gotten promotions within our company and really became part of our team.”
Jim & Michael, Chief People Officer and President of Strategic Services
Five hires helps founder step back
London, UK
A London MSP with 18 staff hired five South African contractors through Support Adventure. Enthusiastic and skilled, they outshone local hires and agencies, integrating fast.
Their work transformed the help desk into an efficient dispatch hub, letting the founder step away from the daily grind.
“The pool of candidates available to us and the quality of candidates available to us were way better than the general masses. I would say Support Adventure way outperforms either us using a recruitment agent or us trying to do it ourselves.”
“Support Adventure is very focused on MSPs… so we’ve been able to actually not just get an engineer that deals with day-to-day tickets but actually get somebody who understands how MSPs work… there’s just no way at all that I could go out and recruit for that in the UK.”
“One of the words he used for it was that it would be ‘transformational’ in the way that we worked… and to his credit and to their credit it was transformation… we run such a good help desk now and such a tight ship.
Ben, MSP Owner
4 Techs, 4 Time Zones: 24/7 MSP Success
Nationwide, usa
This Portland MSP hired 4 skilled technicians from Support Adventure, based in Poland, South Africa, Panama, and Brazil. Their diverse expertise and unique perspectives powered a seamless 24/7 ‘follow-the-sun’ model, delighting clients with rapid, effective resolutions.
Plus, Support Adventure’s exceptional HR support made the hiring process a breeze.
“One of the greatest things from my perspective is, honestly, I often forget that Support Adventure exists… we get all the benefits and bonuses of having full-time staff without any of the challenges of dealing with the payroll and the HR side.
If you need dedicated staff, if you need a team that is going to work with your clients the way you want them to work with your clients… that’s what you’re going to find when working with Support Adventure staff; they provide that level of expertise at a fraction of the cost.
Despite being from all over the world… they bring a huge mix of energy that we weren’t able to find here in the U.S. and a passion for getting the work done.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered the most common questions MSPs ask about remote , onboarding, tooling, and performance guarantees.
Which tools and RMM/PSA stacks do you support?
Our technicians use whatever you use. Since they are dedicated, they will be trained by you on your stack, exactly how your internal staff are. We have experience with common PSAs including ConnectWise, Autotask, Atera, Kaseya, Freshdesk and popular RMMs such as Ninja, Datto, ConnectWise Automate. The technician will be dedicated to your MSP and work on your systems as if you hired them directly.
How do you handle legal, compliance, and insurance matters?
We have a long history of researching and investigating issues regarding compliance. Our staff are under full NDAs by contract and comply with relevant data protection regulations. We receive criminal background checks before onboarding. We have insurance which covers many eventualities. Since our company began in 2016, we have had absolutely no legal incidents, insurance claims or litigation. We are happy to discuss any matters relating to this that you want to explore and how it relates to your jurisdiction, client sector and corporate structure.
How quickly can you present candidates?
After completing our process for becoming a client, we can typically help you select candidates and arrange interviews within a few days.
The entire process of hiring someone can take 2 – 6 weeks.
How is the technician billed during the trial?
During the trial you are billed the day rate (outlined in your agreement) on a day work day paid basis, and there is no notice period to cancel during the trial, pay only for the days used.
After the trial, billing continues monthly at the agreed rate unless you cancel per the trial terms with one month’s notice to cancel in most cases.
Do you perform background checks?
Yes – we perform criminal background checks and reference checks as part of our standard vetting. If you require industry-specific checks (e.g., criminal background checks in a specific country) we can research how we can adapt to suit your compliance needs.
Can we require certifications or custom skills during hiring?
Yes – we let us know the required experience and only present candidates who meet those requirements, however the more specific you are the less candidates will be available for you. We encourage you to have a path towards relevant training and certification as part of your development plan.
What languages are your technicians available in?
All of our technicians are fluent in English. If you need additional languages, we can search our database, but our core focus is English-language support and requiring other languages will limit the amount of candidates who are available.
How are timezone overlaps handled for handoffs?
We match shift coverage to ensure sufficient overlap for handoffs. For 24/7 needs we can build follow-the-sun rotations and help consult on arranging a structure to ensure that there is continuity between shifts. We can help consult on what we have seen work for other clients to achieve true continuous coverage.
Do you support part-time, temporary, or seasonal technicians?
We specialize in full-time, dedicated technicians in placements which largely last for years. Short-term or part-time placements aren’t part of our model, as they don’t provide the stability, consistency and long-term value which we find help placements in the MSP space thrive.
If you have a more specific scenario, we’re happy to discuss it, however, our goal is to get you people who are a great fit for your MSP’s culture working on your team for the long haul.
If you have a more specific scenario, we’re happy to walk you through it.
