Access to a Global Talent Pool: Why Outsourcing and Offshoring is a Strategic Advantage to Bridge Your Human Resource Needs

Many businesses are facing severe challenges because of local staff shortages which are affecting almost every part of the economy and pressuring small- and medium-sized companies in particular. The labour shortage is at least partially responsible for some these issues:

• Companies are having to increase wages and benefits to appeal to the talent market.
• The knock-on effect includes rising prices for consumers and further fuel for the inflationary fire.
• While businesses who hire directly are reporting their own staff shortage problems, recruitment agencies also say they are being challenged in their search of the talent pool for employees in areas such as banking, accounting, insurance, IT, construction, project management, general admin, and call centres.

Such issues should serve as a red flag for companies and alert them to the urgent need for strategic planning and innovative solutions to help them solve the staff shortage by accessing the opportunities offered by tapping into the global workforce.

Outsourcing and offshoring can provide a strategic advantage through recruitment via the global talent pool. For example:

• By outsourcing and offshoring, companies can engage with a vast global workforce with diverse skills and expertise that may not be easily accessible locally because of a skills or labour shortage.
• Global outsourcing and offshoring gives businesses the option of easily scaling their operations up or down, depending on demand.
• It can be more affordable for businesses to address the staff shortage by employing an outsourced talent acquisition strategy.

Easing Labour Shortages

By using global sourcing to find skilled professionals, businesses can approach different regions and plug the gaps that are proving tough to fill from the domestic talent market. A fresh approach, diverse experience and different viewpoints can turbocharge innovation and bring growth and success. Businesses that identify the specialist skills which they are lacking can be at the cutting edge of technological breakthroughs and beat constraints on resources by building a diversified talent pool.

Offshoring can enable companies to operate around the clock, and provide customer service and support 24/7, which is of particular benefit for businesses with customers in different time zones. The flexibility of having a global workforce also enables companies to be agile in their responses to changes in their circumstances and business environment.

Cost Effectiveness

Outsourcing to countries where labour costs are lower can result in a significant cost advantage. The savings provided by such cost efficiency can then be reinvested into core business operations. The specialist knowledge and technical skills that can be found through the global sourcing of talent through outsourcing and offshoring with Intogreat Solutions can help businesses to stay competitive and enhance operational efficiency.

Niche Specialization

Global offshoring staffing solutions enable access to a large talent pool: For example, Intogreat Solutions Philippines has access to more than 700,000 graduates from universities and colleges who join the country’s workforce every year. The Philippines’ diverse educational programmes provide the talent pool with highly educated, job-ready graduates possessing technical and soft skills in a wide range of subjects and sectors. Such a talent market can be elusive for companies who are attempting to hire locally, particularly in the current climate.

In addition, the rigorous recruitment process built and operated by Intogreat, in which you, the client, plays a central role and makes the final decision on new hires, is designed to ensure that the right person is invariably slotted into the most suitable role. It’s a process in which everybody wins.

A Word of Caution



It’s important to note that while global outsourcing and global offshoring offer many potential benefits, they also come with risks: Areas such as data security, direct hiring, communication problems, quality control issues, geopolitical risks, and potential negative public perception should all be considered by companies who are thinking about a global offshoring or global outsourcing solution to the labour shortage. Therefore, it’s crucial for businesses to carefully consider these factors and implement effective management strategies when engaging in outsourcing or offshoring. Intogreat Solutions Philippines has stringent and effective policies in place to manage any such issues.
