How do you define success in IT sourcing and know that you're getting value from your providers? It's all about setting the right metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to track. Without the proper measurement strategy, you're flying blind and leaving too much to chance. But get the metrics right, and you'll gain complete visibility into how your providers are performing, areas that need improvement, and whether outsourcing is achieving your goals. In this article, we'll explore the metrics that really matter for measuring success in IT sourcing so you can gain confidence that your critical IT operations are in good hands.

Finding candidates who align with your company culture and values is just as important as identifying those with the right hard skills. When a new hire meshes well with the organizational culture, they tend to stay longer, perform better, and boost team dynamics. On the flip side, a poor culture fit can lead to reduced productivity, lack of work satisfaction, and high turnover. As you evaluate candidates, look beyond just their technical chops—make sure their personality, work style, and priorities match what you’ve built your company culture around. The time spent assessing cultural fit will pay off through a more cohesive, productive team and long-term success.

With the right strategy and tools, you can build an all-star team no matter where in the world they call home. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to source the best candidates globally, evaluate their skills, and convince them your company is the perfect place to launch their career. By the end, you’ll have the playbook to find offshore tech talent that will exceed your expectations.

 An RPO partner helps you gain access to a wider, more diverse pool of qualified candidates. They can also train your internal teams on inclusive hiring best practices. If you’re ready to transform your IT recruitment and finally achieve true diversity, RPO is the answer you’ve been looking for.

Attracting top tech talent when you're a scrappy little startup is no easy feat. You're competing against huge companies with deep pockets and flashy benefits packages. How can a startup like yours cut through the noise to recruit the key hires that will take your business to the next level? The truth is, you need to get creative. Forget about trying to match the big guys dollar for dollar. Focus instead on selling candidates on the opportunity to do groundbreaking work, gain valuable experience, and share in the success and rewards of building something truly innovative. With the right strategy tailored to startups, you can build an all-star team to launch your tech vision.

The key to making an offshore team work is collaboration. Without it, you’ll end up with mismatched expectations, poor communication, and ultimately a failed partnership.

With the rise of the gig economy, there are more independent tech specialists than ever looking for freelance work. At the same time, demand for their skills continues to outstrip supply. The good news is, with the right approach, you can tap into this talent pool and find the perfect freelancers for your needs.

IT sourcing allows you to focus on your core business strengths. No more worrying about keeping up with the latest technologies or maintaining complex systems. Your external partners handle all of that for you. You also gain flexibility and scalability. As your business grows, your outsourcing partners can ramp up or down quickly to meet changing needs.

A robust pipeline of potential job candidates will give you a head start on future hiring needs. When a key role opens up, you'll have interested and qualified people ready to interview. You'll be able to move fast to bring new team members on board before other companies snap them up. Investing the time to build connections and relationships with IT professionals now will pay off down the road.
