Why Do Companies Choose to Outsource?
In most cases, outsourcing isn’t about avoiding the parts of a job you dislike it’s about gaining an unbiased eye on your operations. When you're running a company, there are simply too many moving parts to manage everything in-house without sacrificing clarity and performance.
While some businesses are only now discovering the power of outsourcing, others like Google, Slack, and Alibaba have experienced mind-blowing growth by leveraging outstaffing models.
At Outsource Work, we’re constantly inspired by their success. We’re proud to support businesses as they scale using smart, global staffing solutions.
Examples of Outsourcing
When considering outsourcing or outstaffing, business owners often ask three questions:
Who uses it?
Why do they use it?
Which companies benefit the most?
Here are the most common categories:
IT Outsourcing
Companies hire remote developers, infrastructure engineers, and support specialists for short- or long-term projects.

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
Routine tasks like scheduling, customer service, and payroll are outsourced to reduce operational load.
