That helped them save enormous on labor cost and also helped them overcome staffing challenges and bring global talents onboard. Sadly, smaller firms can’t take the same approach for number of reasons, out of which cost of overseas expansion is chief. Today to hire 3 or 5 team members you can’t go offshore to set up your team.

Remote staffing is a long term solution to the fundamental challenge of staffing that smaller firms are facing. Problem are, first, not able to find suitable staff; secondly, the one which are suitable are very expensive. Still you recruit them and train them and eventually what happens is that move on into industry, Big 4 or larger firms, because they don’t find growth in local firms. Outgoing staff leaves a huge void behind after leaving which is finding, screening, and shortlisting, interviewing and then selecting the new staff, which is huge cost in terms of money and hours spent after bring him for work. Plus still you will have to the train the new employee and it may happen that he might not able to settle.
