As the holiday season comes around, businesses often find themselves in a pinch due to staff shortages. Thanks to the wonder of offshore hiring solutions, however, you can quickly deal with holiday season staffing woes.
And the leader in this journey? None other than Search Party Recruiting!
The Dilemma: Holiday Season Staffing Gaps
Employees are eager to take time off to make the most of the holiday season with their loved ones. Simultaneously, customer demands often surge, with holiday shoppers always searching for the perfect gift or service. It’s a double-edged sword; your business is thriving, but if you don’t give your employees time off, morale may decrease, and productivity can suffer.
For example, 2022 saw a record-breaking increase in stress among 70% of warehouse managers due to staff shortages, especially during the holiday season.
Fast-forward to June 2023, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics highlights 493,000 job vacancies in the transportation and warehousing sector, finding qualified employees becoming almost impossible.
Most job seekers also search for full-time roles, making hiring temporary staff to manage the holiday challenging.
The Solution: Offshore Hiring Benefits
It’s time to think outside the box — or, in this case, outside the borders. Here are two offshore hiring benefits that make it the perfect holiday season solution for staffing gaps:
Mitigating Seasonal Fluctuations
Consider this festive rush scenario: your online retail store’s local team is overwhelmed with handling customer inquiries, packing, and shipping. If you had a team on the other side of the world, they’d be ready to take over when your local team clocks out.
Now, let’s flip the calendar to the post-holiday lull. Your local employees are back from vacation but twiddling their thumbs due to the lack of work.
Typically, you would pay employees to do nothing. But, with offshore hiring, you can scale your workforce down, maintaining only the necessary crew.
In essence, offshore hiring allows you to effectively manage fluctuations in workload during the holiday season and beyond.
Unlocking the Global Talent Pool Through Offshore Hiring
Let’s say it’s the eve of the holiday season, and your graphic design team is up to their eyeballs in work. You need fresh creatives to jazz up your holiday marketing campaigns, but hiring locally will take too long and cost too much.
With offshore hiring, you can employ top-notch talents from around the globe for lesser wages! And the best part? These world-class talents can be as efficient as your local staff! With offshore hiring, you’re not just filling staffing gaps but adding a dash of global flair to your team.
