Talking to businesses in Australia, the USA, the UK, and Canada, we are seeing increasing concern around the growing cost of doing business, the likelihood of recession, and the potential for job losses as an outcome. We too have all seen large job layoffs with major tech companies Google, Amazon, Facebook etc.
Easy to say, but harder to do is using this time to future-proof your business against what may be around the corner. This includes but is not limited to, ensuring you are using technology to streamline your business operations to gain greater efficiencies while having the workforce structure, systems and procedures in place that can deliver the best result.
At Sharesource, we talk to many businesses that have led the change through investment in technology. And if you think about it, to remain relevant every business must consider the role technology plays as a key driver to success. No longer is moving to new technology a ‘nice to do’ but a ‘must do’ in today’s tech-led global economy. However, investing in new technology is one thing but ensuring your technology is operating at its peak is another, which is where investing in the best tech talent no matter where in the world they live, comes to the fore.
We know that hiring new people is one of the biggest costs of running most businesses. Employing tech-skilled people to ensure your tech-based systems and processes are spot on, comes at a cost. But so does not, having the right people for the job. And knowing who to hire and where to find them may not be your skill set. Which is where Sharesource comes in.
Sharesource does not recruit, but rather we work with you to understand your business problems and opportunities. Only then do we identify the key tech skills you need, and from there, we source, induct, train, and support the right person/people for the job. Although your remote tech team member/s might live in Vietnam or the Philippines, they will be a part of your work team to provide the best outcome. We look after the HR, legal and cultural requirements and provide a work environment that supports their professional and personal growth.
