What Guarantee do you provide?
Searce provides a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee using
a pilot implementation for cosourcing engagements in
many industries. Use our cosourcing services for a period
of 1 full month and pay us only if you are completely
satisfied that this will work for you and will meet
your expectations. We don't know of any other outsourcing
company that makes such a confident claim.
What criteria do you use in choosing our
resources?
Besides the candidate qualifications that you provide,
quality is our primary criteria. We also select candidates
based upon culture-fit as well as your long term and
short term needs. Our Transition Manager ensures the
alignment of resources to your organization's strategic
needs.
Do I get to choose my resources?
Yes, absolutely. In fact that is one of the advantages
in cosourcing with Searce. You get to choose the quality
of your resources and to interview candidates to determine
if they fit your desired profile.
You decide how involved you want to be in choosing
your resources. You have the choice to let us interview
and choose your resources on your behalf without getting
involved in the hiring process altogether.
If I need to add resources, how soon can
you provide additional resources?
Our average turnaround time for locating resources
is 2-3 weeks for most industries. While we attempt to
accommodate urgent replacement requests, our emphasis
remains on the quality of the candidate.
Will you replace a resource if we so desire?
What will it cost us to make such a replacement?
We will replace any of your resources upon your request.
Your resources are an extension of your employees and
the same consideration is given to replacing your resources
as is for replacing your local employees. Searce aims
at minimizing the impact of employee replacement to
your work and provides replacements at approximately
50% of the amount it costs you to replace a local employee.

How do you ensure a smooth transition?
Searce provides a Transition Manager (TM) who works
closely with you and your team to identify and document
your requirements for your resources as well as for
the business functions to be outsourced. In addition
to this, the TM also gathers tacit information such
as your short term and long term business strategy and
vision. All this information is synthesized, documented
and communicated by the transition manager to the offshore
team. Our outsourcing methodology clearly outlines any discrepancies
at an early stage and ensures that all stakeholders
are in alignment.
Do we need to change our processes and
systems?
There is no need for you to change your existing processes.
However, after understanding your current processes,
we might suggest you to redesign some of your business
processes to exploit automation and take full advantage
of the new environment’s potential. Study shows
that transforming business processes as a part of your
offshore strategy can release massive new revenue opportunities
– even more valuable than the obvious labor cost
savings that come with offshoring.
Our outsourcing methodology is designed
to ensure a smooth and a seamless transition for you.
What are the time and resource commitments
for managing our remote office resources?
Every firm has different needs. We let you decide the
extent to which you would like to manage your resources.
Our Transition Manager will work with you to figure
out the optimal cost/quality point for managing your
resources. Adjustments may be made in real-time to suite
your needs.
What are your payment terms?
We will present you with a consolidated invoice every
two weeks for all your resources. We allow a 7 day payment
period from the date of receipt of invoice.
What does Searce mean?
Our organization’s name “Searce”
is inspired from its meaning: “to refine”,
“to sift”, “to analyze”. We
act as a fine sieve for your organization and refine
data in any form to obtain relevant information; we
further sift the gathered information using the best
of the tools to generate relevant knowledge; relevant
knowledge is then analyzed by the best of the minds
to create real business intelligence for your organization.
We aim to provide a unique competitive edge to your
organization by minimizing the amount of time spent
in finding and analyzing information.
