International Remote Staffing Service
Don’t be limited by geographical boundaries. Build your global remote team at half the cost with International Remote Staffing.
What is International Remote Staffing?
Remote staffing refers to the employment of a worker who works outside of a traditional office environment. While international remote staffing shares the same concept, the employee must be based in countries outside the home country of the office.
Remote Staffing has been around for decades but it has never been embraced until the mid-digital phase. The advancement of technology has given rise to the birth of countless innovative products such as virtual communication software, video conferencing tools, and cloud networking. These are just some of the many factors that made remote work arrangements possible.
In Singapore, the widely available access to the internet and high electronic device penetration rate further supports the adoption of remote staffing. Expedited by the high labour cost and shrinking working population, more organisations are looking to embrace this new form of work model internationally and widen their talent pool at a cost-efficient rate.
In addition, applying for work passes for foreign hires in Singapore has been getting increasingly challenging. International remote staffing serves as a means to work around it, enabling firms to hire foreign talents without the worry of failed applications and the tedious administrative process.
Particularly for firms based in Singapore, hiring managers are introducing international remote staffing as one of their key strategies and a crucial move to ensure business continuity and success.
How can International Remote Staffing value add to your company?
International remote staffing has seen a fast-rising adoption trend across all types of companies, ranging from start-ups to MNCs.
Fight the talent shortage
When the competition for local talent is fierce, and the search for the ideal employee seems bleak. Look beyond geographical boundaries and extend your search by tapping into the global talent pool. The chances of finding the right candidate instantly increase by a couple, if not, hundreds fold with international remote staffing.
Enjoy cost-savings
With the current state of the global economy and a recession looming on the horizon, it is crucial for businesses to cut down on unnecessary expenses and leverage cost-savings strategies where appropriate. Without incurring the cost and risks of setting up a physical international office, companies are able to enjoy the cost-savings of hiring international talents at an affordable rate.
Increase business resiliency
Today’s world is filled with uncertainties and countries are met with unprecedented occurrences, be it a social protest, natural disaster, virus outbreak, or political upheaval. Building business resiliency is crucial to ensure organisation success. Having a global team helps to ensure continuous operations in the event of any hindrance faced in a particular country.
Access to niche talents & Desired skillsets
Certain skillsets might be absent in Singapore. For instance, companies who are looking to fill roles such as programmers, developers, and AI Specialists, will face similar challenges in finding the right talents locally. By extending the search beyond Singapore, organisations are able to gain access to niche talents and desired skillset that the local talent pool cannot provide.
