However it involves important decision-making — on whether you really need to outsource or not. What should be your deciding factors? Below are important considerations to take into account which can help you decide on whether to outsource or not.

1. Do you have some tasks to accomplish?

If your answer is yes, then proceed to number 2 question. Otherwise, you do not need to outsource.

2. Can you do it yourself and do you have enough time to do it?

If you have tasks that need to be done, the next question that you must answer is – can you do it yourself If yes, then you do not need to outsource. If you can not handle them alone, proceed to question number 3.

3. Which would you prefer – to outsource locally or offshore?

If you decide to outsource local employee, then proceed to 4.1 question; if you hire offshore, go to question 4.2

4.1 Do you have enough money to outsource locally?
If your answer is yes, then proceed to number 5; otherwise, go to other alternative – question 4.2.

4.2. Do you have enough money for offshore sourcing service?

If your answer is yes then proceed to number 6; otherwise the decision-making process ends here: not to outsource for now.

5. Decision-making (again) on whether to outsource locally or offshore ( you might want to choose offshore even if you have money to outsource locally). If you outsource locally, then proceed to number 6. Otherwise, go to number 4.2.

6. Find prospect – gather information, conduct interview and examinations.
Prospect passed your employment standards? If yes, proceed to number 7. Otherwise, repeat the number 6 step until you found qualified prospect.


7. Final Decision: To outsource.

This trend is expected to continue in the coming years as many people and businesses are resorting to it. And with the continuing upgrades in communication technologies, more and more tasks are being outsourced; more employee leasing companies are emerging in the market.

If you are planning to lease staff for your business but not sure if staff leasing companies have the kind of service you need, the information below might give you some ideas on what particular services you can avail.

In general, the types of service you can avail when outsourcing are those that involve tasks that can be channeled through the Internet – task outputs that can be sent to clients through the Internet.

Below are some tasks you can outsource to staff leasing companies:

Online Administrative Tasks

If you are an administrator for a certain business or company, you may want to outsource some administrative tasks. Outsourcing can really help to reduce your workload. Hiring an outsourced administrator can be an effective option to hiring an in-house administrative assistant. Website administration, clients updates, product listing and updates are some example of online administrative tasks you can outsource offshore.

Content Creation and Marketing

If you are taking time doing some content writing and marketing tasks for your website or business promotion online then you might want to outsource them. There are a lot of staff leasing companies that are offering services on content writing. In this way, you can have your time spent to other important tasks – hiring an outsourced employee will let you focus on your core business.

Graphic Designs and Animations

Your web site’s looks is also an important consideration as this can help a lot in attracting web visitors. Therefore, you need to upgrade your website so that it becomes more visually-appealing. Hiring an in-house graphic designer can cost you thousand of dollars. The good news is, you can outsource this tasks and there are lots of outsourcing companies that offer this kind of service at very reasonable prices.

Internet Advertising and Promotion

If you have a business online particularly an e-commerce site a.k.a. e-store and if you are using advertising programs for promotion like AdWords and affiliate programs, then this could take a lot of your time. Thus, hiring an outsourced staff to work on that can really be a big help.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO is another yet important process to create an online presence and to reach greater number of clients. However, this particular task can take lots of your time. You can hire an in-house search engine optimizer but that can cost you thousand of dollars. But there is an alternative to that – outsource! Outsourcing a search engine optimizer costs around $700.

Transcriptions

Medical transcription – and other transcribing jobs – is another type of task that can easily be outsourced at a very affordable price. In the Philippines for example, this has become a multi-billion industry as there are lots of US and Europe-based companies outsourcing tasks to Philippine-based staff leasing companies. It has been acknowledged that Philippine workforce can deliver output up to 98% accuracy.

Virtual Assistant and Technical Support Tasks

Got no enough time answering costumer queries? Why not hire an outsourced virtual assistant? A virtual assistant can help you keep on track of your daily tasks and will see to it that all concerns are addressed – email, chat, calls. And, if you are selling products, it is important that you establish a technical support representative to address product concerns.

Web Design and Development

This is perhaps the most commonly outsourced tasks. Hiring an in-house website designer and developer can be very expensive. In the U.S. for example, this can cost you thousands of dollars if you hire a local web designer. In contrast, hiring a full-time outsourced web designer or developer will only cost around $800 to $900.

Above are some services you can avail from employee leasing companies. If you think you will need services like these for your business and if hiring a local or in-house staff is really expensive for you, staff leasing can be a perfect alternative to keep your business running.

This must also be present even when you are to deal with people in distance.

Offshore sourcing is one example of dealing people in distance. Through the Internet, businesses are linked together forming a network of networks. Offshore sourcing is a multi-billion dollar industry today with lots of jobs outsourced worldwide.

Individuals working for clients through outsourcing companies must uphold their commitment to business ethical standards. This is very important most especially that information are constrained by distance – prone to miscommunication which may result to misunderstanding and may later on can cost your business.

If you are working for client offshore or if you are leading employees who are rendering services for clients offshore, you must be aware that there are four major areas that ethical problems in business could occur:

(1) while providing services to clients – services for clients must be rendered according to what is being offered or what has been agreed by a service provider and customer. However the process itself is vulnerable to unethical acts. Some common practices that can be considered unethical are: decreasing production (intentional); reporting false or edited time of work – and the like.

(2) how employees perform their duties and responsibilities – unethical acts occur when particular employees do not adhere to the company policies or when they are making their own agenda despite clear work designations.

(3) how your company treats other competitors – the way your company compete with other service or product providers must be carefully examined. Companies must see to it that they are for healthy competition and not a destructive one. Black propaganda is one common example for this.

(4) in providing a price that is fair to all concerns who may have direct or indirect contribution for your production – I think this is self-explanatory. The price that you impose for a particular product or service for your client must be fair to everyone who contributed for that. Business owner should not sale his products or services at $100 when the production cost is just $1.

Business ethics, wherever or whatever corporate environment you belong, is really important to maintain good relations and to keep your business running.

It involves lots of works not just on website design and maintenance but also in promoting your business to a greater number of customers. Thus, having an assistant can be a great help to keep your website running and grow your business.

When hiring an employee (perhaps a virtual assistant) your ability to find the most qualified is really important because that can make or break your business. To give you some ideas most especially if you are planning to outsource offshore, I have here presented tips below:

Understand what you really need

One effective way to find an offshore employee that is more qualified for the job is to understand what you really need. I’ve encountered clients in the past hiring virtual assistants to work for programming tasks. Skill sets mismatch can be tragic to your online business – you are spending money for a person who can not deliver want you need.

Where to search online

The Internet is a huge repository of workers and outsourcing service providers. To find some prospects, do a research online. Simple search on google about these outsourcing companies can give you some prospects. Browsing through job directories like craigslist, odesk, can also help. Posting a job vacancy on online job boards is also a good option to find prospective employees or outsourcing companies.

Research for top outsourcing service providers

At present, leading outsourcing service providers are the Philippines, India, and China. They have a huge number of workforce for a wide-array of services:from web design and development to search engine optimization and search engine marketing to programming support and virtual assistant jobs – among other services. Try to search some information about these regions online. You can hire an outsourced employee at minimal costs.

As for my final note, be prepared when you want to conduct an interview with your prospects. List down the questions you want to ask. This is to avoid overlooks on specifics.
