The Real Cost (and Value) of Outsourcing

There’s a common misconception about outsourcing: that agencies charge double what employees get.

Looks like a nice business model, doesn’t it?

Here’s what most business owners don’t see.

Before a single interview happens, a good agency has already spent hours on these five things:

1️⃣ Understanding the company, its values, its workflow, its pain points.
2️⃣ Writing and rewriting the job description so it actually reflects what’s needed, not just what sounds good.
3️⃣ Filtering hundreds of applications, spotting who’s real and who’s copy-pasted their resume with AI.
4️⃣ Vetting for skills and mindset, because the wrong attitude costs more than the wrong tool.
5️⃣ Mapping cultural fit: who will thrive with your leadership style, your pace, your expectations.

By the time a small business owner finally meets a candidate, the real work has already been done, even if they never saw it.

The value isn’t in “finding someone.”
The value is in hiring with a level of quality most small companies struggle to reach, simply because they don’t hire often enough to build these systems themselves.

Good outsourcing doesn’t cost you more. It saves you from paying for the same mistake twice.
