What is Offshore Recruiting?
Offshore recruiting is a strategic approach to talent acquisition that leverages the expertise and resources of offshore locations, such as the Philippines and India, to source, screen, and manage candidates for organizations worldwide. It’s a cost-effective solution that opens doors to a vast pool of talent, allowing companies to find the right candidates quickly and efficiently.
Offshore vs. In-House Recruiting: A Comparison
Aspect
Cost Efficiency
Drastically reduces hiring costs, significant savings
Often comes with higher operational expenses
Access to Global Talent
Provides access to a diverse international talent pool
Primarily focuses on local or national talent
Scalability
Offers flexibility to scale up or down quickly
May lack the scalability needed for rapid growth or industry shifts
Time Zone Advantage

Limited to standard business hours, potentially causing delays
