THE SMART VAN | WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 2012 The Good and Bad of Service Tech Outsourcing While most outsourcing firms offer some sort of “rating” system to determine what kind of work contractors are performing, the fact remains that companies are taking at least some risk hiring a worker they’ve never met or trained. Technician outsourcing appears to be a growing trend in field service — and for some, a growing concern. The set-up has many benefits , both for the workers looking for a quick job during a down period or while unemployed, and for businesses that can deliver on a job in an area where they don’t have staff. -
