In the world of crowded SMEs, is there any room for HR outsourcing services? What makes SMEs hesitant to reach out to these potential services?

Should SMEs turn to outsourcing?

To be competitive in the ever-changing market with a small workforce, SMEs have mastered their skill to maximize human resources to be able to deal with different workloads. Besides, with the limited financial resource, many businesses also focus on investing in the equipment and ensuring operation. With these two specific requirements, although most SMEs’ leaders are aware of the advantages of HR outsourcing services, they are still reluctant to reach out.

However, examining the benefits of HR outsourcing services, SMEs can have second thoughts. According to a survey, the cost of a bad hire can cost up to 17.000 USD/ year, and that is when HR outsourcing services can come in to close the gap.

As HR outsourcing services providers will become the companions that offer SMEs both quick access to the abundant professional, dedicated workforce to fill up various positions within businesses, and numerous insightful advice for businesses to effectively manage their human capital”.

Ms. Tran also highlighted that HR outsourcing solutions are being tailored to meet individual needs of each SME in terms of upfront cost and they can also be upgraded as clients’ companies grow.

“With the development of the outsourcing market, service providers also provide different service packages tailored to various businesses’ sizes, needs, and budgets. SMEs can choose whatever service that is suitable to their current state of business to have a taste of what HR outsourcing can bring about without worrying about the pricey initial investment. This helps companies’ leaders to understand the service and decide whether they want to invest more in the future.” – Ms. Tran said.
