| Outsourcing of
manpower or manpower outsourcing has become a common
practice with companies nowadays. There is always a
requirement of professionally qualified and skilled
staff in any organization. With the increasing demands
of the industry, there is not enough time to get into
the complexities of selecting a candidate. This is
where an manpower outsourcing comes in.
Organizations both large and small are largely hiring
companies to provide them with outsourced manpower.
They no longer want to get into the hassles and the
long process of recruiting.
Companies providing manpower outsourcing take care
of everything for their clients. They will browse
through loads of profiles, short-list candidates, call
them, test their skills according to the specified
requirement and then pass them on to their clients.
There are certain skills that are required for this
kind of work. A professional should have excellent
communication skills, the ability to judge people, a
good power of understanding and grasping. It is only
then that he or she can select candidates for its
clients.
Manpower Outsourcing is a complex job. There is a
two way responsibility. Firstly to provide skilled
manpower to their clients and secondly to provide good
opportunities to the candidates who apply through
them. This means a lot of responsibility and there has
to be clarity from both ends to enable the manpower
staffing companies to provide the right results to
both its counterparts. It may sound easy but it is a
difficult task.
Outsourcing
Outsourcing was not formally identified as a business
strategy until 1989 (Mullin, 1996) However. Most
organizations were not totally self-sufficient; they
outsourced those functions for which they had no
competency internally.
Publishers, for example, have often purchased
composition, printing, and fulfilment services. The
use of external suppliers for these essential but
ancillary services might be termed the baseline stage
in the evolution of outsourcing support services is
the next stage. In the 1990s, as organizations began
to focus more on cost-saving measures, they started to
outsource those functions necessary to run a company
but not related specifically to the core business.
Managers contracted with emerging service companies to
deliver accounting, human resources, data processing,
internal mail distribution, security, plant
maintenance, and the like as a matter of “good
housekeeping”. Outsourcing components to affect cost
savings in key functions is yet another stage as
managers seeks to improve their finances.
What is Manpower Outsourcing
Manpower Outsourcing can be defined as “the
strategic use of outside resources to perform
activities traditionally handled by internal staff
and resources”. Manpower Outsourcing is a strategy
by which an organization contracts out major
manpower functions to specialized and efficient
service providers, who become valued business
partners. Companies have always hired contractors
for particular types of work, or to level-off
peaks and troughs in their workload, and have
formed long-term relationships with firms whose
capabilities complement or supplement their own.
However, the difference between simply
supplementing resources by “subcontracting” and
actual outsourcing is that the latter involves
substantial restructuring of particular business
activities including, often, the transfer of staff
from a host company to a specialist, usually
smaller, company with the required core
competencies.
Why do companies outsource ?
Here are some common reasons:
• Reduce and control operating costs
• Improve host company focus
• Gain access to world-class capabilities
• Free internal resources for other purposes
• A function is time-consuming to manage or is out of control
• Insufficient resources are available internally
• Share risks with a partner company
In earlier periods, cost or headcount
reductions were the most common reasons to
outsource. In today’s world the drivers are often
more strategic, and focus on carrying out core
value-adding activities in-house where an
organization can best utilize its own core
competencies.
How to decide whether to outsource
There are no simple criteria to conduct an outsourcing versus in-house analysis. The benefits associated with outsourcing are numerous, and one should consider each project on its individual merits. Ongoing operational costs that may be avoided by outsourcing are also a consideration. In a nutshell, outsourcing allows organizations to be more efficient, flexible, and effective, while often reducing costs.
Some of the top advantages brought by outsourcing include the following:
• Staffing flexibility
• Acceleration of projects and quicker time to market
• High caliber professionals that hit the ground running
• Ability to tap into best practices
• Knowledge transfer to permanent staff
• Cost-effective and predictable expenditures
• Access to the flexibility and creativity of experienced problem solvers
• Resource and core competency focus.
