How To Find OFS With Technical Skills – Practical Advice

Business owners often reach out to me and wonder why they can’t find someone for their business.

I recently received an inquiry about how to find someone with technical skills—technical support, network engineering, AWS, cloud support, etc.

Let me just say that these technical people are not hard to find. I know because I also have technical people on my team.

Finding someone in the Philippines with technical skills is so easy!

Here are 7 simple steps to do it:

  1. Determine exactly what you’re looking for
  2. Head over to OnlineJobs.ph and browse resumes
  3. Post a job on OnlineJobs.ph
  4. Interview applicants through email
  5. Narrow down candidates through a test
  6. Negotiate terms
  7. Give someone a job

Easy, right?

If you’ve done these steps and still can’t find someone or aren’t getting a lot of applicants, try actively looking instead! You can do this by searching for a specific skill—people who list those skills on their profiles will show up. Then, you can send them a message with a link to your job post.

Take time to watch the video where I walk through these steps in detail, and you’ll be on your way to finding the right OFS who’s the right fit for you.

Head to our outsourcing education page to find more practical advice on outsourcing.

If you’d rather check out reviews from entrepreneurs who’ve already made the jump and have VAs of their own, here’s a list of reviews about OnlineJobs.ph.

I also have a new book that I’m giving away for free—The Outsourcing Lever. It’s about how I’ve done outsourcing over the years.
