Offshore businesses have been a steady source of jobs for millions of employees worldwide. Up to this day, offshore-based companies are continuously hiring for their teams.
As a result, there is unprecedented success and growth for businesses, as offshore employees become instrumental in expanding the company’s operations and its share in the industry market. On top of these gains, offshore labor gives the company considerable savings in several areas including employee compensation and infrastructure setup.
Indeed, offshore employees are the backbone of the offshoring industry. With a recruitment firm as your partner, you have better chances of finding the right employees for your offshore team.
We break down the reasons why hiring a recruitment firm in the Philippines is a strategic move in your offshore business’s recruitment process.
Good knowledge of different industries and job markets
Recruiters are industry specialists who have a knack of knowing and understanding how a particular job market is performing. They carefully study the attributes, behavior, and movement of talent that are shaping your industry, and they are able to channel all the insights they gain in meeting your hiring goals.
They can tell you not only who or where your target talent is, but also give you sound advice about attracting and engaging the best talent in the market. They have first-hand industry knowledge as to what type of career opportunities or compensation package appeals most to high-quality job candidates.
A recruitment agency in the Philippines or any other offshore location where you plan to set up your business is also the best source of information regarding potential hiring issues in a localized work setting. They can guide you on what offshoring solutions in the Philippines are viable for those challenges, too.
Extended reach to highly qualified and skilled candidates
It takes a lot of searching and networking to find the most ideal employees who will form your offshore team.
For one, your target candidates may be passively looking for new employment opportunities. And the only way to discover them is by reaching out to people in your recruiter’s network who may be connected to your otherwise passive candidates. Your headhunter can leverage their network of candidates, clients, and business partners to lead you to a goldmine of talent with a wide range of skills and qualifications.
Plus, the most experienced recruiters would use a good mix of tools and strategies in their arsenal to build a mutually beneficial relationship with candidates. Eventually, these candidates could transition into your offshore talent pool as recruiters target them with time- and field-tested hiring approaches.
Provision for guarantee periods
Recruiters go through painstaking efforts to source, screen, and shortlist candidates who match your organization’s requirements for both hard and soft skills, as well as culture fit. The goal is to find top-quality talent who could become permanent members of your team to help ensure that there’s continuity in your offshore operations.
Although recruiters are confident about the candidates they recommend for hiring, there’s the practical reality that employer or employee expectations may not be met in the actual workplace setting.
Thus, when you invest in the employment services of your recruitment agency, you’re entitled to a guarantee period which you can avail when a new hire leaves within a specified period of employment. This means that your recruiter will do a new search for a replacement candidate until you finally get the right hire to fill the outgoing employee’s position.
The waiting time may seem counter-productive, but the truth is, your agency is learning more about your company and the kind of candidate who can fill the job role perfectly.
Efficient approach to recruitment
Recruitment firms are known for their fast and low-cost hiring strategies, which your offshore business could take advantage of. From job search to screening for job skills and communication competencies, offshore recruiters handle every stage of hiring with efficiency and expertise.
With their years and level of experience, it’s easy for recruitment agencies to identify qualified candidates and fill jobs for your company. This gives you enough time for onboarding your new hires and equipping them with relevant tools and resources to prepare them for what they’ll be doing.
Good for future networking
Since your recruiter already knows your hiring requirements and preferences, you could tap them again to work on your hiring projects. By that time, they would have built a pool of offshore talents such as IT experts, designers, finance officers, and other specialized roles, so that you don’t have to start from scratch all over again in finding people and forming a team of professionals for your offshore company.
Plus, with the relationship that you have built with your recruiter, you could take comfort in knowing that they now have a better understanding of your organization’s goals, values, and expectations. That should enable them to provide the ideal hiring recommendations and solutions for your business.
