Well outsourcing sure has become more popular these days, especially
to Asian countries where most outsourcing companies comes from. We
know how they work, their flexible schedules and their availability,
but how do we differentiate a typical outsourcing company from a low-
cost staff leasing company? They're both in the BPO business, so
what's up with them?

To cut the long story short, a typical outsourcing company is where
you (as a business) hires a whole third party company to do a project
for you. As for a staff leasing companies, you can directly hire which
staff you only need without the hassles of paying a whole company for
a short project but rather hire the right people and pay extremely
low!

How's that possible? Take http://www.offshoring.com/staff.php for
example, before they let one of their staff jump in and start your
project, they give you the privilege of having an interview and even
give an exam to a staff you're about to hire so you'd be able to know
his/her abilities and limitations. Unlike with third party outsourcing
companies where they just place their people without you knowing if
their skills are even fit to do the job.
