FAQs
What should I know about offshoring and outsourcing?
One similarity shared by both outsourcing and offshoring companies is the employment of highly skilled and qualified staff to fill roles within a separate business or for another client, and it is a service that can be performed anywhere in the world. These two models have their own advantages and disadvantages: Outsourcing means that work can be done locally by another company or overseas. As for offshoring, work is done by a worker employed in another country.
In relation to staffing, the offshoring model will give you an opportunity to select your own suitably qualified staff based on your job description. This workforce will be dedicated solely to your operations and will work to and follow your processes and procedures. You will also have direct control over the people you select in terms of their performance and salaries.
Outsourcing operations are broadly similar but resource is only leased to you. Staff are placed by your provider based on the qualifications and skills to perform the outsource work. The outsourcing company manage staff performance and productivity to ensure that agreed client service requirements are met.
In an outsourcing model, the provider will use their own systems, they are the experts, they will take ownership. The provider owns the processes and procedures and they deliver an output – they take the work as that is where they have expertise. An offshoring model will use whatever system, process, and procedure you have in operation, thus making set-up and transition easier.

Does the Filipino workforce have good written and verbal English language communication skills?
From primary school to university in the Philippines, students are taught English as their second language after Filipino. They are trained to understand and speak English extensively, so graduates are fluent. At Intogreat, most of our offshore staff are university graduates, which means they are proficient in English literacy and possess cognitive and communication skills. We also measure this through our rigorous recruitment process, which involves:
• A series of interviews to establish the applicant’s excellence in English communication skills.
• An aptitude test to assess the logical reasoning and English proficiency of applicants.
• Client interviews of the candidates to gauge their skills and abilities.
