Despite Michael Scott’s dismal perspective on the Human Resources (HR) function in The Office, HR professionals perform myriad essential functions for businesses of any sizes – or they can, when businesses have the people power and the budget to staff recruiting, staffing and training teams that can meet the needs of the business.
In fact, simply delivering core functions requires a minimum number of HR employees regardless of company size, according to a recent study from the Society of Human Resources. Small organizations typically saw a reported 3.4 HR-to-employee ratio, while larger business, once the core established staff was hired, could reduce the ratio as high as 1.03 at employees with 1,001 or more employees, according to the report.
For many startups just beginning to scale and grappling with limited resources, the lack of resources to find IT talent and a growing need for IT talent can become an innovation-halting conundrum – unless businesses turn to experts to handle this process for them.
Of course, choosing from the many IT outsourcing services companies on the market today can seem overwhelming – unless business leaders understand which working models will benefit their business most.
IT Outsourcing Services Companies Should Expect
When it comes to IT staff augmentation, whether your business is employing nearshoring vs. offshoring, the bottom line is transparency.
Transparency is an essential component of a successful, value-driving hiring model because it allows your business to shape the staffing model your specific business needs. Two critical driving factors should be working directly for clients, and customizing talent.
This approach mirrors what an in-house recruiting team would do: specifically select the right individuals to match the company culture and the current, and future, business needs. Agencies that recruit to bolster their own rosters must look for generically good candidates who are widely good for any role, but not specifically perfect for your unique business.
In practice, this can mean the different between a generic hire for staffing generally top talent engineers or sourcing a highly skilled software engineer who is also an expert in Agile software development and experience in established an approach for making daily scrum recommended for co-located teams – exactly what you need, instead of kind of what you need.
