January 31,2019

Unless you own a software company or are part of an organization that heavily relies on IT and its related functions, there’s a strong chance you’ve encountered IT-related issues. As a team leader, you may have considered consulting a team of offshore IT developers who can be available on demand to resolve problems quickly—minimizing network downtime. However, offshoring talent and workforce comes with its own set of challenges. That’s why it’s recommended to partner with an experienced offshore staffing company like Collar Search, which offers offshore recruitment services to help organizations hire global talent with ease and efficiency.

What are the challenges companies face with offshore hiring?

WASTAGE OF TIME

Offshore recruitment process means selecting the best fit from a talent pool abroad. Scheduling and executing initial screenings, while considering time differences, can be a strenuous task. With different time zones, a suitable time for a call or video interview for one person might be another’s sleeping schedule. Screening candidates to set up an offshore team can become a massive drain on time, internal resources, and energy. This is where offshore outsourcing proves valuable by managing these complexities efficiently.

COMMUNICATION ISSUES:

When looking for offshore candidates to set up a team, language and communication barriers are bound to happen. Then comes the cultural and educational disparity which will hamper the project designing, development and execution. This will have an adverse impact on the quality of the services being dispensed to the consumer and the reputation of the organization.

SELFISH OVERSEAS CONSULTANCY:

To reach out to the recruitment consultancy of that foreign nation would not be a wise decision, as you have to understand that they will ultimately have their best interest at heart and wouldn’t pay much heed to the guidelines for offshore recruitment. The overseas consultant will only recommend applicant they share a good rapport with, without gauging upon their credentials and skills. This will ultimately leave you with a subpar quality hiring, which you will be left off with to either just let it be or make the person go and bear the financial burden of going through the hiring process again.

What are the things you should consider when hiring an offshore team?

Although the consideration for an offshore team is as same as the in house team, the geographical difference makes the matter of the former more complicated and the hiring team has to be more specific and vigilant with the recruitment process.

Before investing in an offshore team

  • Get their credentials verified;

  • Check with the organizations they have collaborated or worked for previously;

  • Prefer referrals with reputation and adequate skill but don’t be bias;

More such factors go into considering and setting up an offshore team. By outsourcing offshore recruitment to Collar Search, you can rest assured, that a dedicated team of recruiters and managers are working round the clock, researching and sourcing the candidates, scheduling interviews and if selected, onboarding of the employee, while you focus on achieving your business’s goals.
