Why pay more when you can offshore?

Why pay more for an upfront employee to do a job that can be done exactly the same by someone thousands of miles away for half the price? The answer is easy, the employee is tangible, the communication line is open, the work is presented to you as soon as you want it. Most employees have this fear of being cheated, of not getting exactly what they have paid for, that is why an upfront employee is very important for these kinds of employees. They are the cautious type.

Cautious but uninformed. Hiring an Offshore IT Staff is the answer to your prayers if:

a. you are a small start-up company with a tight budget

b. you are adventurous and willing to give Offshore IT Staff Leasing a try just for the heck of it

c. you are finally tired of freelancers and their excuses

d. you are tired of your upfront employees and their excuses

Offshore IT Staff Leasing? What the heck am I talking about? Is Offshore IT Staff Leasing the same as Outsourcing? Too many questions…

Outsourcing is not the same as Offshore IT Staff Leasing. Although fundamentally the same, they are different both in definition and in essence. Take a look at the differences between Outsourcing and Offshore IT Staff Leasing as pointed out in the Virtulance website:

Outsourcing is an agreement with a third party to perform a service for a particular organization. With outsourcing, the company remains a third party with no obligation to your company other than the agreed service. Whereas, in offshoring, the hired agent/s in a particular company is an extension of your company. The person/s that you have hired is working directly for you and is a part of your company although s/he is located in another country. An offshore company is an extension of your company, giving you that personal involvement often needed in sensitive areas of work particularly in web development.

Get the point now? To hire an Offshore Employee is to hire your own employee, the only difference is that the employee is not tangible. But, the work quality is the same if not better, communication is as easy as ever what with the various iMing services and VOIP services mushrooming everyday, and you are updated daily about what your employee is doing since daily reports are a must with companies like Virtulance.

Plus, you get more than what you paid for for less than half the amount you are paying your upfront employees. Hiring an Offshore IT Staff from an Offshore IT Staff Leasing Firm, gives you not one, not two but three employees. You get your agent, plus a project manager/supervisor and a quality checker all for the price of one!

So, is Offshore IT Staff Leasing a viable option for employers? Definitely! But do not take my word for it, try it out and see if it is for you. You might want to start with Virtulance…

Quest #2: Offshore IT Staff Leasing

After a two week (almost) hiatus, I am getting back on the horse and try out for another leap. I am getting a little bit aggressive and will try out for “offshore IT staff leasing” with over 1,700,000 competitors. Think I can make it? I wonder how long it would take me this time…

And of course, together with my new quest is my new topic for the month of September. Offshore IT Staff Leasing! Very original, eh?

Anyway, my articles for this month may seem like shameless self-advertisement. I have an Offshore IT Staff Leasing Company called Virtulance and it would be okay for me to advertise, right? I own this website and I co-own the company, its just natural. I am not being defensive or anything, I am just trying to clear things up. Who knows, I might say something that might be a little itty bitty like ADVERTISEMENT. It is a fact of the online world. If you have a company, advertise or stay at home and sleep.

Its as simple as that.

To kick off the month, although I am 5 days late, I will be starting with optimizing Be Thumbed to be number 1 in the keyphrase “Offshore IT Staff Leasing”. Stay with me, who knows, you might learn something new.
