Outsourcing that takes place offshore involves creating an overseas branch of your company or team. Traditionally, offshoring has been done in a few ways, but Orbitus Solutions provides an exclusive model.
We discuss your offshore resourcing requirements
What are the signs that your business is ready for offshore operations?
Working with an offshore team requires certain systems and processes due to the remote nature of offshoring. Thus, you should ask yourself:
Do you have:
Cross-Cultural Communication: Offshore teams may be located in a different country or region with different cultural norms and communication styles. It's important to have the skills to communicate effectively and build relationships with team members from different cultural backgrounds.
Access to Specialized Skills: Offshore resourcing allows companies to tap into specialized skills that may not be available locally. For example, if a company needs a team with expertise in a particular technology or industry, they may be able to find that expertise more easily by looking offshore.
Project Management: Offshore projects require strong project management skills to ensure that work is completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. This includes the ability to create project plans, assign tasks, and monitor progress.
Technical Knowledge: Depending on the type of project, offshore teams may require specific technical knowledge or expertise. For example, if the project involves software development, the offshore team may need to have expertise in specific programming languages or tools.
Time Management: Offshore teams may be located in different time zones, which requires effective time management skills to ensure that work is completed on schedule and deadlines are met.
Language Proficiency: Companies that need resources with specific language proficiency may find it easier to source those resources offshore, especially if they require expertise in less common languages.
Cultural Sensitivity: Offshore teams may come from different cultural backgrounds and may have different work styles and expectations. It's important to have cultural sensitivity skills to understand and work effectively with team members from different cultures.
Outsourcing might not be as ideal as you may have initially thought if you have skills and don't have any questions. This does not mean outsourcing is not a good solution. it simply means that you may need to invest more in getting your business offshore ready. We are more than happy to discuss your business plans and provide advice on how you can get started.
We recruit and employ your offshore team
In step two, we take a look at the job descriptions you’ve created for your offshore team. These job descriptions include ideal qualifications, level of experience, systems knowledge and any additional qualities you feel would be necessary for us to recruit the right person for the job. Just as you would write the job descriptions for your onshore team, you’d do the same for your offshore staff. After we’ve analyzed those requirements, we then provide feedback to ensure that they will attract the best Filipino talent for the role. By supporting you with this process, we are able to confidently source suitable candidates from the local market and our database of more than 275,000 applicants. We then present our shortlist to you to select the staff that best suit your business, company culture and individual team dynamics. Naturally, you can screen and interview the candidates exactly as you would when hiring locally.

Once we have your team set up on our side, it’s then time for you to start organizing their onboarding and training including things like how to use your systems, what processes and workflows they need to use and overall company culture and history to help them feel as much a part of your business success as possible.
When you are satisfied that they are up to speed with all of the onboarding requirements, it’s time to start assigning them tasks and managing their work in progress. You will be able to delegate, coordinate and organize all of the tasks your offshore team does, the same way you would for your onshore team.
But, you’re not expected to manage your offshore team alone. We support your offshore management team on an operational level. This involves the following:
- IT deployment and support
- KPI development and performance management
- Ensure staff productivity levels are high through monitoring work habits
- Employee engagement activities
- Proactive advice and best practices on optimizing overall performance
- Management of Ohio-specific legal and compliance matters
- Ongoing recruitment, HR, payroll, facilities management and IT support
