Recruitment in the Philippines
November 6, 2006


The Required Rigidity of Recruitment

Outsourcing only works when the right people are properly managed. In traditional forms of outsourcing, as soon as a contract is signed outsourcing companies inevitably seek out the most profitable way of doing business, looking out for their own best interest with their own people.

In the past, companies would outsource their entire operation to an outsource or offshore firm. The advantages of doing this are big; lower cost, less hassle, ability to focus on the core business.

With staff leasing the outsourcing company can still take advantage of the cost savings in a low cost zone like the Philippines – while also maintaining full control of the operation. Kind of like a quasi-office, without the time, costs, and mistakes associated with building out another office in a foreign environment.

Initially entrepreneurs will benefit most from staff leasing because there is literally no start-up cost except for marketing, and the traditional outsourcing market is still thriving. So an ambitious entrepreneur can get their foot in the global outsourcing door before it closes. Business owners will also benefit. They save money in the lower cost environment, even though they still have to manage their own operation. And ironically because they are still managing their own operation – it has a greater likelihood of succeeding.

Most companies may find the steps to staff leasing actually easier than traditional outsourcing. Why? Because often a lot of time goes into due diligence before an outsourced provider is selected – for obvious reasons, but mostly to ensure that management can successfully handle the project. But with staff leasing – an outsourcing company just needs to know that their partner can provide the hardware and software support necessary for operation. The due diligence process becomes a fraction what it used to be.

It has become a cliché that the most important assets of successful companies are their people.  In order to have access to the greatest supply of people from which to choose from in making hiring decisions, many companies are looking to offshore locations like the Philippines to top up their local supply of professional staff.

Companies in fast-growing countries such as the Philippines have demand for management who has experience in the developed world.
