Advantage of local worker:     

  • Speak your language 
  • Work in your time zone
  • Understand local nuances
  • More protection with legal documents
  •  Disadvantages:

    • Probably no cost saving compared to going offshore
    •  But if you’re more concerned about finding the right person who can complete your job as you require, then don’t discount the idea of offshoring the work.

      Advantages of going world wide:

      • Depending on your economy and theirs, sometimes cheaper
      • More potential applicants
      • Wider skill set
      • Work while you are sleeping
      • ·       Disadvantage:

        • Language barriers
        • Attitude to work
        • Different skills to what you are used to
        • Difficult to enforce legal documents
        •
