We have received several calls from our client asking about offshore hiring. For example, A Philippine based company asked us to hire a local technical employee in Taiwan, however the company does not have a legal entity in Taiwan, so the client asks is it possible to hire legally offshore?
The tough truth is: this all boils down to a hiring problem.
The biggest reason we hear so many horror stories about off-shore teams is that it’s hard to hire them.
It’s hard to hire someone you don’t trust.
It’s hard to trust someone until you really get to know them.
It’s hard to get to know someone you haven’t met in person.
It’s hard to get to know someone who speaks another language in another timezone.
If the tables were turned, and you were in Europe trying to hire someone in the US, you’d similarly be lowering your odds of finding a great partner. This has nothing to do with the quality of the candidate pool.
