Outsourcing is countercyclical
All indicators show that the world is heading towards economic recession. Funding is drying up, interest rates and inflation are on the rise, and the job market is tightening. The top-end of the US job market is showing considerable reversal of fortunes as tech companies scramble towards profitability and self-preservation. However, employment generally remains strong – which suggests that their is good opportunity for outsourcing.
As companies hunker down to tough times ahead, they are all looking for ways to cut costs, whilst still growing – or at least maintaining – top line revenues. Outsourcing offers a unique opportunity for companies to get the staff they need, whilst cutting costs.
As the recession forces the world to look for cost-saving and competitive staffing solutions, outsourcing is perfectly positioned to capture enormous growth and upside.
The outsourcing industry faces unprecedented opportunity over the next two years. We suggest that all small and mid-tier BPOs should shoot for 50% growth this year.
