only logical choice
WHY BLUE OCEAN BPO ?
1
PRE -HIRED &TRAINED VIRTUAL
EMPLOYEES
Imagine a workforce on demand that you can tap into
immediately. Then imagine that same workforce has already
been screened, trained & vetted. Last time we checked, this
does not exist anywhere else other than Blue Ocean BPO

hires your people before you even need them, removing
90% of the risk that comes with venturing into offshore
staffing

dive into the current platforms being used by SME's

FLEXIB ILTYOFFICE BASED ORREMOTE

management oversight that comes with in-office staff,
at Blue Ocean we offer the flexibility to reduce your
investment by deploying remote workers, managed
from our Philippines headquarters

DEDICATED ACCOUNTMANAGEMENT
One of the primary reasons so many small-to-medium
businesses globally are moving away from find-and-
match platforms such as ODesk and Elance and to
staffing solutions providers such as Blue Ocean BPO is
that they are able to speak to a real person, any time,
to fix any issues that may arise.
For companies that need stability, consistency and
business continuity, this is priceless

PART-TIME & FULL-TIMEOPTIONS AVAILABLE
Even medium-sized enterprise often only need part time staff to fill
important positions within their businesses. Yet, 95% of the workforce want
full-time work.
We have solved this problem by making the decision easy. All Blue Ocean
staff work for us full-time. For clients only needing part-time staff, we
simply share the staff, allowing multiple clients to work with our talented
people as needed

STAFF ING VS BPO ?
SO WHAT IS THEDIFFERENCE BETWEENSTAFFING & BPO?
This is a question we get asked a lot and is a cause of major confusion both inside and
outside the industry.
The analogy we give our clients is this:
Staffing: Imagine you are a marketing manager and you are looking for some
permanent staff to join your team. You place an add in Indeed or Seek and you
interview, screen and hire the best candidates. You train them, give them KPI, a
scorecard and manage them via daily, weekly and monthly meetings. They take
holidays and during that time you either hire a temp or they just catch up when they
return. If they leave your team, you begin the process over again
STAFF ING VS BPO ?
SO WHAT IS THEDIFFERENCE BETWEENSTAFFING & BPO?
:
BPO:
Imagine you are a marketing manager and know little about inbound marketing and do not have
time or resources to internally manage an entire inbound marketing team
You provide an RFP to outsourcing firms, with the brief that they must hire and train a new team
comprised of XX people that must deliver/produce output to a pre-agreed set of standards. This set
of standards is called a Service Level Agreement. This then becomes binding to both parties.
The outsourcing firm is responsible for providing buffer staff (to ensure that XX people are always
present), ongoing training, daily management, account management, account directorship (ie the
role of the inbound marketing manager), ongoing recruitment to replace exiting staff. Ultimately,
the BPO firm is entirely responsible for the metrics and output.
Typically these agreements are a 50-80% price premium when compared to staffing agreements
STAFF ING VS BPO ?
SHOULD I ENGAGE INSTAFFNING OR BPO?
Great question: Glad you asked!
Some general rules of thumb:
1) Less than 3 staff required? Stick with staffing
2) More than 3 staff and less than 10 but all doing different roles? Stick with staffing but
you will need to hire an onsite manager to manage the teams attendance and task
completion
3) 3 or more staff all doing the same process or task? Engage in a BPO agreement.
