The company I work has hired a lot of personnel based in India over the last several years. While some of the hires are reasonably competent, many of them need a lot of hand holding to get through tasks that most locally hired people would not.
In other words, they don't seem to be getting up to speed in a reasonable period of time based on past experience hiring new university graduates with no prior professional experience. That, in turn, increases costs because they're not accomplishing nearly as much in the time alloted.
- todd3834 5y agoIn my prior experience there just isn’t much of a discount to be had when you find people of the same caliber regardless of where they live. Someone who performs at the same level as someone local, and there are plenty of them, has usually figured out what people are willing to pay for their services.
