Companies look into outsourced manpower to increase efficiency

With uncertainty surrounding projects and changing dynamics at the workplace, several companies across the world are turning to manpower outsourcing firms to hire skilled blue collar workers, for projects on a temporary basis rather than employing them full time. Outsourcing of skilled and qualified staff is fast becoming a common practice with companies across the UAE.

“Much of the recruitment depends on the scale and scope of the project,” says Satnam Grover, General Manager of Manpower Services at Dulsco HR Solutions. “For example, when companies win new businesses or projects, they would prefer to focus on getting the job done quickly, instead of involving themselves in recruiting and screening new employees. Hence, outsourcing works well for such companies.”

Firms are also increasingly finding outsourcing manpower more cost-efficient. Manpower outsourcing works well in the region due to companies requiring temporary staff at relatively short notice. “Given these trends, the outsourced manpower will continue to lead the way as world economies recover and companies are forced to adapt a flexible approach to business and meet consumers’ ever-rising expectations.”
