How Much Does It Cost To Outsource? Unlocking the Savings
Growth-focused companies are increasingly outsourcing key roles and business functions to support their operations. The cost benefits of outsourcing are significant, and now the quality of staff in the Philippines has caught on, demand has been trending upward — by more than 30% per year.
Outsourcing can help reduce operating expenses by reducing recruitment, payroll, IT and training costs, to name a few, while onshore teams focus on your core business. But the question is, exactly how much can you save by outsourcing to the Philippines? Read on to find out how much it really costs to outsource teams, including outsourcing scenarios.
Why outsourcing to the Philippines is cost-effective
It’s common knowledge that sourcing staff from the Philippines brings significant cost savings to a business. But did you know that even the most specialised roles can be outsourced? From high-value sourcing cybersecurity specialists (a key priority, says Deloitte) to financial services professionals, you can fill just about any position with remote Filipino staff. This helps you cut costs while building a strong team enabling better service delivery and business growth.
But what’s less understood is that the Philippines is an ideal destination for sourcing exceptional talent. Filipino professionals are highly educated, fluent in English and hardworking, going over and above to deliver results. Secure a winning team and you’ll save by minimising the costs of rehiring, onboarding, training — the list goes on.
How much does it cost to outsource to the Philippines?
The short answer is, it depends on the roles you want to hire, where from and the typical salaries in your local area. Below, we describe three common outsourcing scenarios to give you an idea of how much you could save by securing offshore Filipino staff. The larger the outsourced team, the bigger the savings!
