Over the last ten years I’ve used outsourcing as the main route to find staff and talent to help me and my clients. The benefits are numerous, including reduced personal workload, lower costs, less stress, faster job turnaround, getting tasks completed while you sleep and much more besides. Often people are reluctant to explore outsourcing as they are wary of dealing with people they may never meet face-to-face. In reality it’s not an issue, as long as you research the market and familiarise yourself with the various processes. Let me help guide you through the outsourcing world and give you the best possible chance of success in using this great way to run and grow your business. In this book I’ll share with you:
- the benefits and drawbacks of outsourcing
- where to find the best talent
- how to write a good job post
- how to shortlist and interview your applicants
- how to onboard your talent in the minimum of time and for best results
- what to watch out for and how to deal with frustrations

Outsourcing For Success is essential reading for entrepreneurs and small to medium business owners who need to start a team or enhance their existing one.
