The hiring process can be a pain for all parties involved. As the leader of a business, you want to find the best candidate for the role—someone who will be passionate and driven in their work. As an interviewee, you want to find a job that is the right fit for you, one that makes you feel secure, valued, and welcome. The traditional hiring process has routinely proven ill-suited for all of these needs, often resulting in poor fits that inevitably lead both the business leader and interviewee to restart the whole process.
Fortunately, in the wake of digital innovation and rapid technological advancements, Outsourced is offering a far better alternative that erases borders and opens up limitless possibilities for finding talent.
Outsourced is a premium ISO-certified offshore staffing company in the Philippines that offers top-tier talent to international businesses. The company’s superior recruitment process focuses on passive candidates and ensures access to the top 5% of talent. With over a decade of experience and more than 1,000 employees, Outsourced has become a trusted partner for companies worldwide. They provide cost-effective solutions, allowing businesses to save up to 75% compared to local hiring.
Why Outsourced
In 2012, Mike Larcher, the future CEO and founder of Outsourced, ran a digital agency. As Larcher says, “I was able to save 75% on salaries compared to hiring locally, and with this buying power, I was able to attract and retain the top 5% of talent in the Philippines.”
He was unable to find and retain leading talent locally. To combat these issues, Larcher decided to try out the then-nascent option of offshore hiring. This led him to discover the immense potential of outsourcing in the Philippines. Not only was it more financially beneficial to do so, but he was also able to access higher-quality workers with far less strenuous efforts.
A Different Approach
“We specialize in building teams of highly skilled professionals such as web developers, graphic designers, marketers, network engineers, architects, and more,” Larcher says.
Outsourced’s business model is to build dedicated full-time offshore teams for clients. Unlike call centers or virtual assistant (VA) services that perform ad hoc, project-based tasks, Outsourced provides comprehensive teams. These highly skilled professionals specialize in various fields, including IT, CX, creative, marketing, admin, professional services, finance, education, healthcare, and engineering.
Achievements, Awards, and Accolades
Since it was founded in 2012, Outsourced has experienced significant growth. Starting with a single employee, the company expanded its operations by opening multiple offices and increasing its team size. Now, the company operates from state-of-the-art facilities, has comprehensive support teams, and is steadfastly committed to ethical staff treatment. All of this contributes to high staff retention rates exceeding 98%.
Key milestones include achieving PEZA accreditation in October 2017, obtaining ISO certifications for Quality Management Systems and Information Security Management Systems in 2018, and reaching 1,000 team members by January 2024. In May 2024, Outsourced acquired Double Yolk, expanding services to India. By September 2024, the company was recognized as one of HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia. Additionally, Outsourced has been Great Place to Work® certified, reinforcing Larcher’s commitment to staff happiness, wellness, and a thriving workplace culture.
Final Thoughts
Moving forward, Outsourced aims to be internationally renowned for delivering the highest quality offshore staffing solutions. To accomplish this, Larcher says the team plans to expand to over 3,000 staff members by 2028.
If you are having trouble finding, retaining, or affording talent locally, offshore staffing is a great solution. Outsourced provides access to the top 5% of talent, premium facilities, ISO certification, and an award-winning company culture with a 98% retention rate.
