I knew nothing about outsourcing when I started, so hiring through an agency is the way to go.
That’s one mistake right there — hiring through an agency.
That’s right. I once used an agency to outsource people. To tell you the truth, the first and the second hire didn’t end up well.
I didn’t lose hope, though. I figured maybe the third time’s the charm.
And it was! Because my third hire through an agency is also my first hire for OnlineJobs.ph.
Let me share the mistakes I made on my outsourcing journey with you. I’ll tell you:
- My experiences,
- My realizations,
- The solution I came up with so I’d never make the same mistake again.

Hi John,
Would love to see your Free book but the link says I have to pay for the book in order to get the pdf free. Could you just send me the pdf?
Already posted a job, maybe will post another one and looking forward to get started.
Thank you.
Hi Clara,
Thank you for your comment. As per the site, we have paid for the Outsourcing Lever Book and all you need to pay is the shipping/handling to receive it ($7 US, $11 INTL). Hope this helps
