How outsourcing works

Any functions and business processes can be outsourced: PR, marketing, IT, HR, accounting, customer support, cleaning, security and food. The main thing is that the outsourcing company performs its tasks professionally. Another rule is that you cannot delegate to other people the elements that are key to your business. For example, if an organization prepares pastries, hiring outsourcers to deliver pies can be quite effective. But if the contracting firm begins to come up with recipes and bake for you, your business will simply lose its essence. For an employer, outsourcing begins with the selection of a contractor. For example, if you need accounting services, you can focus on the RAEX rating. Then you should study potential candidates: price lists, cooperation options, customer reviews and experience. Before concluding an agreement, you can also visit the office of an outsourcing company to find out how and under what conditions its employees work. When concluding a contract, it is worth paying attention to the rights, obligations and liability of the parties for violations. When you have hired an outsourcing company, you don't have to think about paying salaries to its employees - you just pay for the services under the contract. But at the same time, you need to take care of quality control of the tasks performed. To do this, you can involve your own full-time managers or specialized specialists.
