Written by a company whose business is offshore staffing. Here's where we'd tell you not to use us.
Roles that need physical presence, regulated local sign-off, real-time crisis judgment with no ramp-up window, or that depend on institutional knowledge your own company hasn't documented yet are generally poor fits for offshore staffing, regardless of who the provider is.
Warehouse work, in-person client meetings, on-site repairs, in-person events. If the job requires a body in a specific physical location, offshore staffing doesn't solve that problem.
Roles that legally require a US-licensed professional to sign off, such as certain accounting attestations or legal filings, can't be delegated to an offshore hire regardless of their skill.
Roles requiring direct access to patient health records carry significant compliance risk and typically require specialized legal infrastructure most offshore arrangements, including ours, are not built to carry. This is a role category we intentionally avoid.
If a role requires split-second, high-consequence decisions on day one, with zero tolerance for a learning curve, that's a bad first offshore hire, regardless of the candidate's talent.
If your own internal process for a function isn't documented anywhere, offshoring it means asking someone new, in a different time zone or country, to reverse-engineer your business from scratch. Fix the process first, then offshore it.
We make our living placing offshore staff. It would be easy to tell you offshore staffing is the right call for everything. It isn't. A bad placement in the wrong role wastes your time, wastes our time, and damages the case for offshore staffing generally when it fails for reasons that had nothing to do with the person we placed. Being upfront about where this model doesn't fit is what makes us worth trusting on the roles where it does.
Roles with clear, documentable processes, remote-friendly output (writing, data, calls, tickets, code, spreadsheets), and enough onboarding runway to get someone fully ramped, whether that's days or a few weeks. That covers most administrative, sales operations, customer support, bookkeeping, and technical support roles, which is why those are the roles we actually place.
We'll tell you honestly if offshore staffing fits your specific role, even if the honest answer is no.
