Nearshoring

What is Nearshoring?

Nearshoring is a form of offshoring in which an organization recruits employees from a neighboring country to complete services.

For many companies, nearshoring combines the best of both onshore outsourcing and offshore outsourcing because it provides a similar culture, proximity, and language to the brand, but at more affordable cost. In other words, nearshore outsourcing provides the cultural and logistical benefits that working nearby brings, but with cost savings you just can’t find at home. Some main advantages of nearshoring include less expensive labor costs, avoidance of language barriers, cultural alignment, geographical proximity, and a similar time zone.

Nearshoring can also benefit your company in more operational and strategic ways as well. Nearshore outsourcing lets you tap into a global pool of highly skilled workers beyond the geographical footprint of your home country, and nearshore locations tend to be centralized in metropolitan areas that have strong infrastructure in place, allowing your nearshore partner to scale quickly and easily.

Incorporating nearshoring into your business mix may seem daunting, but you don’t have to go it alone.
