Recruitment and staffing alternatives

Recruitment and staffing - often most companies use an internal service or external agencies. Agencies are expensive and take a large commission up front, regardless of the result and long-term cooperation. The internal team as a rule is limited by its location, base of potential candidates and a narrow set of tools. An alternative model is remoting outstaffing services, such as https://it-outstaffing.com/, which have a huge professional talent pool, unique recruitment tools of their own and the ability to work in 12 global locations and unite thousands of IT community and consultant contractors. When you pay developers through https://it-outstaffing.com/ and do not pay any additional commissions and get maximum flexibility with the workload of specialists by their term of involvement on the project, but at the same time working completely directly with the team. At the same time, all functions, search and staffing, registration and payment are on the side of the outstaffing service.
