At present time managing director in either small or big company realizes keen necessity in hiring highly qualified professionals. The question is where to find these candidates. I offer you to go beyond your office space and think broader. In this article I would like to share an experience of how to find a talent on the side and highlight the most prominent distinctions between remote employees and freelancers.
Let’s first talk about what modern approach to work IT specialists have chosen. Probably this pillar have been formed by itself but who knows. There are several options of finding additional resources, specifically, you may refer to an outsourcing whether outstaffing firm but also to a freelancer. In this article my aim is to figure out what option is more relevant and to prevent you from extra unnecessary expenses, waste of time and trouble.
Some people even claim that remote employees are more productive than in-office staff. How come? At the psychological level in-office specialist feels himself secure and comfortable in the meaning that he always can increase the duration of the project since there is no need to rush. Meanwhile, remote team or a single employee has a greater perception of responsibility for the job offered and wants to perform better. They have strict deadlines and requirements and, of course, they don’t want to mess up. Furthermore, these remote employees have a project manager or director who is in charge for the best result and you easily can control this.
It becomes very easy to manage projects since you should have one indestructible rule and no matter whether it is in-office or remote employee. Use your CRM properly, specifically, employees have to indicate all changes and include daily reports which highlight problems and timelines. In case you apply this rule, 80% of problems will smooth out. In this frame of work there is no difference between in-office and remote employees, since all of them show high profitability. There is nothing shameful or irrational in involving a remote team or professional especially if you have a lack of choice in your region or city.
Current situation on the market allows us to speak about this increasing trend of attracting outstaffing firms to the business. Therefore, I would recommend to get in touch with Talent Acquisition Manager from Lagoteam and receive a consultancy as regards search and placement of remote staff. Here you may personally discuss your requirements to a candidate and make sure they would be met.
