We designed this Website for staffing & recruiting firm owners and executives. This page explains our simple and common sense strategy to eliminate offshore RPOs and replace them with a plan to grow a nearshore/Dominican based lower cost recruiting & staffing support operation - that you control!

If you are a staffing firm Leader, please make time to read this page as we designed to be informational, not bullet point marketing.

Could be for recruiting, sourcing, back-office such as accounting and new hire onboarding, social media management and more. You can even add our service to your list of services. An example is offering your customers remote and lower cost accountants from the Dominican Republic where you and we split the margin and both make money!

Cost for a people to work remote from your company ( from the Dominican Republic ) can be 50% less than comparable people inside the USA. The DR is only 2 hours from Miami, same time zone as New York and the people speak English/Spanish.

It is important to understand the difference between renting recruiting staff from offshore RPOs with growing your own team where you have control and do this from a low cost nearshore location such as the Dominican Republic.

Example and the truth about RPOs. Assume ABC Staffing signs up to get extra recruiters from XYZ RPO in India.  ABC Staffing would be renting recruiters who are employees of XYZ RPO. ABC Staffing perceives the recruiters as extra and expendable.  The recruiting staff at XYZ RPO know this is what ABC thinks of them.

The recruiters at XYZ RPO are poorly trained and know XYZ is actually their employer and the job with ABC Staffing is just a temporary gig. 

XYZ RPO may assign a recruiter to ABC Staffing and also to 1 or 2 other companies hoping nobody notices this double and triple dipping.

The recruiter will cross-submit the same candidates to ABC that they send to other staffing firms to fake activity metrics. This nonsense happens all the time with offshore RPOs!

When Americans are contacted by offshore RPO recruiters the usual reaction is hang-up or delete - which undermines the benefit of the lower cost.

Let's compare to our helping you hire people in the Dominican Republic to fit in as YOUR Nearshore lower cost recruiting and staffing trainees - and grow a lower cost staffing operation that you control.

A - Assume you decide to work with us and request 1 person to start. Our human resources company in the Dominican Republic sources English/Spanish speaking college educated people for you to interview as recruiter or staffing trainees.

Normally, we target American call centers located in the Dominican Republic because the people are used to a high activity environment and being on calls talking with Americans all day.

Call centers are a good breeding ground of people to hire in the Dominican Republic whom you train to work and recruit your way!

If you are a staffing firm executive than you likely agree that many staffing companies are not good at training recruiters. Hiring a recruiter with experience from other staffing firms is often more of a disappointment than success.  It is always better to train your own recruiters and staffing professionals so you have control over their success vs. failure.

Another benefit of training "fresh people" is to avoid hiring recruiters & others in USA who may have been poisoned with bad experiences at other staffing firms.

We provide a very good recruiting 101 pre-training program that explains how to use LinkedIn, job boards, temp vs. direct hire and explains the process from Hiring Manager through HR, VMS, MSP to staffing firms and how all of this work. Our training is designed to be a foundation for your recruiting leader to take over training up the rest of the way = Your Way!

B - Assume you interview Nancy in the DR and tell us to hire her. Our Dominican HR company hires Nancy and handles her payroll & taxes while the relationship is same as Nancy being your career employee.

Nancy is not our employee who we rent to your company as lower cost recruiting. We hire her to work for you same as a USA based career employee while on paper she is payrolled through our Dominican HR company. And, where her cost to work remote from DR is 50% less than a comparable person inside the USA.

This is same as your hiring Nancy in USA through an HR company like ADP. Except in this situation Nancy and our HR company are in the Dominican Republic where she can work remote for you at half the cost of your location.

Because Nancy and you think of each other as on the same team and where you want her to work long term and grow a career this is where the loyalty and commitment to success comes from on both sides.

You cannot get loyalty and commitment in a rent-a-recruiter RPO scenario.

We have people working remote from DR for the same staffing firms 5+ years and growing careers within these staffing companies.

C - Using October 1st as a sample start date, end of September our USA company wires funds to our Dominican HR company bank account. This funds Nancy's payroll to work for you all of October.

On November 1st our American company invoices your company to be reimbursed for fronting Nancy's payroll to work for you during October.

Your Company > Our USA Corp > Our Dominican HR > Nancy in DR works for you

This diagram shows how the money flows from your company through our USA corporation to our Dominican HR company and finally to Nancy in the DR.  

This makes the money flow legal and creates a situation where Nancy can work 20 years for your company and grow a career without there being any legal connection from your company to Nancy in the DR.

Cost:  Another reality with offshore RPOs is they pay the people poverty wages. Nobody working for an RPO will wake up and be excited to work for your company. This is another reason why results from RPO recruiters are low and quality is bad.

Using the example with Nancy, we would offer her a salary that is better than other jobs she can get in the DR. When we add our mark-up the billing rate to your company can be 50% less than employing a comparable person to Nancy inside the USA.

The plan is that you and we together lift Nancy up to a better life by working as your Dominican based recruiter or staffing trainee while you benefit from her cost being half that of a comparable employee inside the USA.

These days Zoom or Teams video call make it almost the same as if Nancy is there in your USA office. And, you can easily fly to the DR to visit and spend time with your nearshore team.

The video at bottom of page shows Nicole who we recruited in the DR, provided our recruiter/sourcing training program and set up to work with a recruiting company in New York as a (remote) recruiter trainee.

Since she was hired,  Nicole has been promoted to full recruiter and is now the company's recruiting leader and works direct with hiring managers with U.S companies. She also manages USA based clients remotely from the DR using Teams video call.
