A business owner in a meeting with colleagues around a conference table.

Offshoring vs outsourcing is usually the owner's way of saying the team is full. ScaleHorse recruits a person for that work. The fee is USD 2,795, charged once.

Offshoring, in the way ScaleHorse uses the word, means a person joins your workflow and you manage the work. Outsourcing means a supplier delivers an outcome under their own process.

Dedicated hire

The search produces a person for a defined role: responsibilities, skills and a view of what good looks like in the first ninety days.

Outsourced service

A service contract can be the better fit when you want a result without managing a person. ScaleHorse does not sell outcome-based outsourcing.
