I don’t see this because I rarely check my social media, but my team tells me that I often get comments like:
You should hire an American! You’re the reason why Americans are losing jobs!
At first glance, it would look like outsourcing jobs to places like the Philippines takes away local opportunities, but the situation is actually more nuanced than that.
In reality, outsourcing to the Philippines typically results in more local jobs. More jobs in the US, Australia, UK, …
Why? How?
If we focus our attention on small businesses, on…YOUR small business, outsourcing is a big factor in:
– keeping small businesses afloat,
– making small businesses profitable, and
– allowing small businesses to scale.
I hear from people every day:
“I’m a small business and can’t afford to hire locally.”
“I was able to scale my agency because of the OFS I hired.”
“The work they do lets me focus on making sales.”
These small businesses succeeded. The owner didn’t go back into the work force.
“90% of businesses fail in the first 5 years”. Not with OFS.
Often, those small businesses end up hire local people after hiring OFS.
The OFS actually end up creating local jobs because the business is succeeding and growing.
I’ve seen this a thousand times.
The best thing about hiring Filipino workers is that many of them are young and hungry for work. They’re hardworking, they speak English really well, and they’re easy to train. You can find so many amazing Filipino workers who can do wonderful things for your business at Onlinejobs.ph.
