Outsourcing has been big for decades, and it made sense. We can’t do everything effectively “in house”, no matter what the endeavor. Then Outsourcing become Offshoring and the rumbles started. “They’re cutting costs by sending our jobs overseas.” When manufacturing was 30% of our economy, it was an outrage. But now it is 11% and it is just how business is done. But now offshore outsourcing has become a staple of excellent staffing firms the world over, and Danny is a big proponent, but we get the same questions over and over at our manager events. “Don’t you risk them selling your data?” “How could they find people in my sophisticated niche?” “Isn’t there a language barrier?” “What are the economics?”

In this episode, Danny takes your questions to the man who would know best. Co-President of the recruiting industry’s largest offshore recruitment company, Brian Cotter, and they pull no punches. Find out if you’re letting your bias and your inner control freak cost you money in a world where you can hire an outsourcing consultant to help manage your outsourcing function.
