International companies are increasingly outsourcing their skills as working remotely becomes the new norm around the world.
“The USA and a number of other countries around the world are feeling the effects of the so-called great resignation – the phenomenon whereby vast swathes of employees simply quit their jobs instead of returning to the office,” said Advaita Naidoo, the managing director of the African division at Jack Hammer Global.
Naidoo said that jobs are not exclusively being outsourced to South Africa in particular; instead, they have seen an increase in enquiries from international companies that are ‘location-agnostic’ and are fully supportive of remote working.
