# [Offshore Recruitment Services Business Growth Case Study](https://blog.hhmc.com.au/2017/03/offshore-recruitment-services-business-growth-case-study)

Offshore resources are usually thought of as a supplement to existing teams – taking non-core tasks off the desks of client facing staff so those staff can be more productive and achieve greater return.

But offshore resources can be utilized in other strategic ways.  A partnership with a service provider gives owners and managers additional options when considering strategy implementation. In resource-expensive countries like Australia we do not consider solving issues with more resources - we look at technology and other resource efficiencies as our solution set. A partnership with an offshore service provider means that the option of adding resources to a task can bring strategic benefits and still be cost effective.

For a growing recruitment agency, expanding to a new sector or new geography presents cost and risk issues.  Existing staff are busy, the new sector or geography is not yet proven or producing a cash flow, and hiring a single senior resource to bootstrap the new venture is a slow, expensive and high risk option.

## **IMS People Case Study**

When less expensive additional resources can be added to the strategic solution mix then new options become available to owners and managers.

[IMS People](http://www.imspeople.com) is a quality provider of Offshore Recruitment Services to recruitment agencies in North America, the UK and Europe, and Asia Pacific.

The case study, [IMS\_People\_Market\_Mapping\_Case\_Study.pdf](https://hhmc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/IMS_People_Market_Mapping_Case_Study.pdf), introduces how IMS created client, candidate and job data to develop “warm” consultant desks when a leading digital media company from the UK expanded in Asia.

If you knew with a high probability of certainty that a proposed strategy would result in your company acquiring more qualified, interested and available candidates quickly and at a lower price, would at least try it?
