The Best Way to Hire Offshore Talent

Unlocking the Power of Offshore Talent with Assistantly: More Than Just Great Hires…

If you’re thinking about adding offshore talent to your team, you’re not alone. More small and medium companies are turning to global hiring to save on costs and unlock new efficiencies. 

But let’s face it: finding, training, and managing remote talent can be overwhelming, and the setup doesn’t always fit every company’s needs. That’s where Assistantly changes the game.

Here’s a breakdown of your options for acquiring offshore talent and why Assistantly's all-inclusive approach is a win for busy business owners who need more than just a good hire—they need a whole support system.

‍

The Classic Choices for Offshore Hiring

‍

Let’s first look at the options available if you want to hire offshore talent today:

‍‍

Freelance Platforms (Upwork, Fiverr):

Pros: Flexible for short projects; you only pay for work completed.

Cons: You’re left to sift through thousands of profiles, handle payments, and often deal with commitment issues if freelancers go silent.

Best Fit: Short-term tasks that don’t require deep integration with your team.

‍

Direct Hiring:

Pros: Full control over recruitment, onboarding, and management.

Cons: The full burden of vetting, payroll, performance success and compliance falls on you. Plus, this approach can eat up a lot of time and still not drive the results you need.

Best Fit: Long-term roles where you have the time and resources for HR and management.

‍

Placement Agencies:

Pros: Placement agencies often specialize in finding talent within specific fields and provide a streamlined recruitment process.

Cons: Many agencies charge a finder's fee—which can be up to 50% or more of the candidate's annual salary—making it a high-cost solution. Plus, once the candidate is placed, all HR, payroll, and management tasks are back on you.

Best Fit: Organizations with large hiring budgets that need highly specialized, long-term talent and have resources for direct hire administration and compliance

‍

Staffing Agencies:

Pros: They handle the heavy lifting of recruitment and some initial screening.

Cons: Usually requires long-term contracts and can be pricey, with fees for each placement. You may still be left to handle day-to-day management, no extra resources nor ease in replacement if the hire doesn’t work out.

Best Fit: Companies that need a quick hiring solution but have management infrastructure in place.

‍

These options work, but they come with a common theme: the work doesn’t end with hiring. 

You’ll still need to do all the heavy lifting to onboard, train, and manage new hires, often across different time zones and cultures, which can be time-consuming and challenging.

There is no one there to support or partner with.
