A New Breed of Outsourced Employees Arise
Filipinos have been branded as valuable employees because of their proficiency in the English language and good work attitudes. They're highly skilled and easily trainable. These are the reasons why many BPOs are looking towards the Philippines as a good source of offshore labor specially in the recent years when call centers were shooting up everywhere like mushrooms after a rainy spell.But do you know there's a new breed of outsourced employees besides call center agents with American accent skills? The IT industry has been growing out of proportion since the 1990s and much of the virtual real estate is occupied with company websites built by netpreneurs who usually have no idea how to promote their sites and reach high traffic status on the web. So this is when search engine optimization comes in and becomes a rising field of expertise in the webmaster community.SEO companies are enjoying a lively business in the States and now are looking to expand their reach by hiring highly skilled professionals who are easily managed and trained at a fraction of the cost it usually takes to employ freelancers or professionals in the US. The solution? Hire from outside the USA and manage your business virtually.A virtual office is not so different as being together in one room and discussing possible solutions to company problems or brainstorming for new ideas. The primary modes of communication are already there for everyone's use: email, instant messaging and even wap. Clients and employees are often online at the same time so the flow of communication is open and constant. Any task required is easily communicated and progress reports are stored online and shared by clients, the management and employees. And what's good is that setting up such an oustourcing company is considerably less expensive than putting up a call center company.One of these new outsourcing companies is Eversun Software Corporation, a young, hip business organization that could be the next Yahoo or Google in the IT outsourcing industry. The company began with just a few employees (as all companies do) and now has expanded from one Makati office to offices in Cavite, Iloilo, and Bacolod. Employees are hired after a rigorous selection process that includes exams and interviews by managers and clients. All hirees came from prestigious universities and colleges in the Philippines.As of now, I am one of those hirees working at the Iloilo office. We have a website, AgentsofValue.com.
