Even if you have been quietly working in the same organization for many years, you may well be an outsourcer at the same time or participate in the outstaffing process …
So, outsourcing is an old and familiar concept for our businessmen. Many activities are outsourced that are not essential for this particular company. That is, outsourcing is the transfer of non-core functions or processes for a company to be performed by a third-party organization that specializes in this. You can delegate a lot to an outsourcing company - from cleaning services (concluding an agreement with a cleaning company) to accounting services and the work of a system administrator. The benefits of such delegation are obvious - you can hire an experienced specialist who will perform the entire volume of work, but the payment for this work will be much less than if a staff was opened or a department was formed.
Outstaffing is a bit like outsourcing. In this mechanism of organizing work with personnel, third-party companies are also used, but in fact, this is just a transfer of personnel to the state. That is, the performers are on the staff of the executing company, but they actually work for the customer company. Synonyms for the word outstaffing are personnel leasing or personnel leasing.
So, the difference between these two concepts is that outstaffing differs from outsourcing in the attitude of the customer of services to the personnel performing the work. In the first case, the personnel is directly subordinate to the customer, and the contractor only selects the personnel and draws it up in accordance with the legislation, and with outsourcing, emphasis is placed on the performance of work, without strict requirements for personnel and the place of work of personnel on the part of the customer.
