In the modern business landscape, the distinction between global recruitment for local employment and outsourcing remote workers is often blurred. At Macati, we specialise in the former, helping companies in Australia, New Zealand, UK, USA, Panama, Japan, South Africa, PNG, and beyond, to expand their local teams with highly skilled and qualified candidates from the Philippines. This approach is distinct from outsourcing, and understanding this difference is key to making informed decisions about your workforce strategy. In this article, we’ll explain the differences between the two and why you would choose global recruitment vs. outsourcing.

Understanding the Differences: Global Recruitment vs. Outsourcing

Let’s look at the difference between these two hiring strategies in more detail.

Global Recruitment for Local Employment

Global recruitment for local employment involves hiring international talent to work physically within your local team. This approach is about integrating global expertise into your local workplace, enriching your team with diverse skills and perspectives. It’s an effective strategy for companies experiencing local skill shortages or requiring specialised expertise specific to certain trades or industries.

Outsourcing Remote Workers

Outsourcing, on the other hand, involves hiring individuals or teams to work remotely from different locations, often overseas. While this can be cost-effective and suitable for certain tasks, it does not provide the same level of integration and cultural synergy as local employment.

The Benefits of Hiring from the Philippines for Local Teams

The Philippines, known for its highly educated and skilled workforce, offers a wealth of talent, particularly in sectors like construction, specialised trades, the healthcare sector and professional services. Filipino professionals are renowned for their strong work ethic, technical skills, and adaptability, making them valuable assets to any local team.

Overcoming Skill Shortages through Global Recruitment

Many industries, especially in countries with low populations, like Australia and New Zealand, face the challenge of local skill shortages. This can hinder business growth and project completion. Here, global recruitment becomes a strategic solution.

Five Scenarios Benefiting from Global Recruitment:

  1. Large-scale Construction Projects: For projects requiring specialised skills in areas like structural engineering or sustainable building practices, Filipino professionals can provide the expertise needed to meet complex demands.
  2. Healthcare Facilities Needing Specialised Skills: Medical institutions in need of specialised nurses, technicians, or doctors can find qualified professionals from the Philippines, known for their excellence in healthcare training.
  3. Tech Companies Seeking Niche Expertise: When local talent pools lack specific IT skills like AI development or cybersecurity, turning to the global market can fill these critical gaps.
  4. Hospitality Industry Expansion: Hotels or restaurants expanding in tourist hotspots can benefit from experienced Filipino hospitality staff who are known for their customer service excellence and multi-lingual abilities.
  5. Manufacturing Plants Requiring Skilled Workers: Manufacturing units needing skilled workers for precision tasks can tap into the Filipino workforce for roles like quality control engineers or specialised machinists able operate heavy vehicles and equipment.

These are just a few common examples, however, there are many more scenarios in which hiring offshore employees can greatly benefit a business.

The Value of Diversity in Local Teams

Integrating Filipino professionals into your local team brings a rich diversity of thought, cultural perspectives, and problem-solving approaches. This diversity fosters creativity and innovation, helping your business stay competitive and resilient.
