005 - Why Hiring Doesn't Have To Be Difficult Or Expensive
with Randall Agee
Episode 005
When Randall didn't have the time to handle a computer programming project given to him at his job, he posted his project to an international job board to get some help. After receiving several applications for the job, it ended up being the first call he made to an applicant from Pakistan that changed the trajectory of his career. In 2009, Randall partnered with the same man who answered his phone call from across the world to start AllShore Virtual Staffing.
Our conversation with Randall covers the details offshoring: what is it, how it works, and why it's worth everyone's time. Hiring good people with the right skill set can seem impossible at times to business owners. Randall explains the processes he has put in place at AllShore to make hiring a pleasant surprise that exceeds all expectations when it comes to hiring.
