Offshore Staffing

what is Offshore Staffing?

Offshore staffing is an offshoot of outsourcing. In offshore outsourcing some part of the work from the client company is sent overseas to be done. The client and the supplier enter into a contractual agreement that defines the transferred services.

The contract for such an agreement is usually on an hourly basis i.e. if you worked x number of hours you were paid x number of dollars. This was a rather expensive procedure and lacked dedicated workers.

Dedicated Offshore Staffing

Dedicated Offshore staffing further streamlines the offshore outsourcing contract. In this contract the client hires a dedicated team that works for him exclusively 8 Hrs a day, 6 days a week. This team becomes your remotely located staff, working full-time for you, from an Offshore Development Center any where in the world.

The team is provided to you for a fixed monthly fee and is supervised by your offshore partner or contractor on your behalf to ensure optimal output and productivity.

The offshore partner provides facilities like:
  • Hiring / Firing / Retaining
