Whilst there aren’t any one-size-fits all solutions for your business, hiring a remote project manager just might put you over the line. A limited budget and tight timelines can result in deadlines being missed and unhappy clients. So if you can’t afford to employ an in-house project manager to oversee your projects or task one of your current employees with the job, what can you do?

An easy solution is to outsource this position, so let’s take a look at three of the reasons why hiring a remote project manager might suit your current situation.

1.    You are a small business with few employees

Start-ups and small companies don’t have the resources to dedicate one staff member to the position of project manager. It’s simply not a viable option. This means that there’s no-one to manage and oversee your projects, so deadlines are missed and clients are let down. That’s not to say that you aren’t working flat out, it’s just that you don’t have anyone to spare, as they are all focusing on your other business responsibilities. A remote project manager can easily take on this essential role, helping your company to complete projects on time and within budget.

2.    You have a limited budget

When your cashflow is restricted, it’s often difficult to hire additional staff. There’s the costs of the recruitment process, training, and inducting, as well as providing the infrastructure they need to do their job. On top of these expenses are the other financial obligations that come with […]

With working from home becoming a much more viable option for many employees, it’s not much of a stretch to hire a remote recruiter. Essentially, an outsourced recruiter takes over the recruitment processes for your company, finding and interviewing candidates using the internet or phone. You are then presented with a short list of candidates from which you make your final selection. Outsourced recruiters can even take your new employees through an induction and in-house training program, before they commence work. So how can hiring a work at home recruiter help your business save money?

1.    Your recruiter’s infrastructure is provided by Outsourced

For a small business, the person who usually manages your recruitment process is one of your senior staff, whilst for large companies it’s usually someone in your HR department. Regardless of the size of your company, you still need to provide the infrastructure for this employee to run the recruitment drive, interview candidates and take them through the induction process. This can add up to a significant amount of expenditure, which can be a drain on your resources. On the other hand, if you hire a remote recruiter, all the infrastructure they need (computers, software, phones and IT support) are provided by Outsourced. All you do is tell us the particulars of the employees you want to hire and we present you with a shortlist.

2.    You only hire the recruiter for a limited time period

Recruitment drives are a limited time activity, so why hire someone permanently to perform a job that is […]

4. Back-up files. Make it a habit to back-up your files either on physical location or on cloud, especially critical data. If unfortunately, hackers get the chance to erase your files, you can at least recover them.
5. Beware of phishing. Be vigilant to identify fraudulent emails and messages that appear to come from popular websites or from sites that you trust. Pay attention to the URL of a website and never respond to requests for personal or sensitive […]
