January 10,2024

Unless you own a software company or are a part of an organization that has its productivity dependant on the heavy usage of IT and its associated branches, there is a strong possibility that you have to face some or the other IT related issue. You as a team leader might have been confronted on consulting a team of offshore IT developers, who can be at your beck and call, and resolve whatever IT issue it is, without your organization losing significantly on the network downtime. But offshoring skills and workforce poses several challenges which is why it is suggested to outsource offshore recruitment services to an adept recruitment agency like Collar Search, who will ensure that the organization hires talent across the globe, hassle-free.

What are the challenges companies face with offshore hiring?

WASTAGE OF TIME

The offshore recruiting process entails selecting the best match from a talent pool located elsewhere. Scheduling and carrying out first screening while taking into account the time difference would be a difficult undertaking. With differing time zones, one person's sleeping cycle may be an acceptable time to have a phone conversation or a video interview. Screening individuals to form an offshore team is a huge waste of time, internal resources, and energy, exposing the offshore challenges in the process.

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.
