The Secret Sauce of Outsourcing

By: John Jonas
  • Summary

  • Dedicated to making you better at outsourcing. Tips, tricks, advice, and stories on how to get work off your plate and be more efficient. I do things differently. I don't hire "freelancers". I don't pay hourly. Those are for the masses who are struggling to figure out how outsourcing works well. Hundreds of thousands of employers have used what I do to find great outsourced workers and over 1.5 million Filipino resumes are in my database.

  • Ep. 431: Should you hire family members of OFS?
    Nov 1 2024

    I actually hire family members of my OFS team.
    I don't always do it. They go through my hiring steps like anybody else. If they're not good enough, I don't hire them.
    Also, your OFS won't want to recommend a family member who might be bad for the business. They know they'll lose face if that person doesn't do well.
    Let's talk more about it in this episode.

  • Ep. 430: Don't prepay for work
    Oct 30 2024

    There's a reason why I often remind people NOT to pre-pay for work.
    You should pay for a test task, but once you hire someone, don't pre-pay for the work they'll do.
    If they ask you to pre-pay for work, that's usually a red flag.
    Instead, you should pay them every week, at least at the beginning. This allows you to build trust without having to pay them in advance.
    Let's talk more about this in this episode.

  • Ep. 429: Should you pay in PHP or in your currency?
    Oct 28 2024

    Should you pay your OFS in Philippine peso or your currency?
    It depends.
    No matter what happens, your OFS will receive their salary in pesos.
    We actually had an interesting conversation with our team about that. It turns out the amount they receive will fluctuate when we send them their salary in USD.
    How much is this going to affect your OFS? Let's talk about that.
