Unsurprisingly, outsourcing and offshoring have gone mainstream as viable options for different businesses and their various functions including human resource roles, bookkeeping, and other support operations, as well as specialized fields like web development. Both help to reduce overall costs. Aside from these concepts is another cost-cutting alternative in the arena of staffing, staff leasing - where you can "rent" the services of a specific professional from an external company without having to take on the human resource responsibilities and paperwork.
Adding the choice of staff leasing to the outsourcing/offshoring mix results in a new strain of outsourcing and staffing altogether called offshore staff leasing. This allows companies to enjoy the benefits of having a specific line of work executed externally without having to move out entire operations.
Offshore staff leasing isn't a blanket solution for all companies looking to lessen costs and make the most of existing resources, however. So how do you know if you should go for leasing employees offshore? Here are some considerations:

1. Are you planning to increase margins but have already trimmed everything? Having someone else handle back office operations and administrative functions at a lower rate through offshoring could give you this leeway. You could maintain these processes internally so you still have the same control over the employee who just happens to be leased from outside your country. Outsourcing internal functions also makes it easier to calculate definite savings in costs.



2. Are you having trouble with the quality of work from your support functions? These non-core operations often slide down in importance when compared to other more business-critical functions such as sales. Your team could be putting off back office work in favor of getting the core functions on track, but having a leased employee means they have to consistently perform since they're answerable to you as their boss and their main employer who's out to give you the best service possible.



3. Sometimes it gets flat out difficult getting great people on board when you're limited resource-wise - finances, equipment, office space, time, and manpower. Other times the job may be too mundane (albeit still critical to the business) for candidates to even consider staying on for the long haul. Staff leasing allows you to fill in key positions with experts who will be answering to and working directly with you, whether for half a year or indefinitely, depending on your need.
