What is a BPO?
BPO stands for business process outsourcing. The term “outsourcing” is said to come from the phrase “outside resourcing” since the industry involves hiring from different foreign, local, nearshore, and offshore industries. More than being an industry that helps companies reduce costs, BPO also allows for a globalized workflow that connects data and humans closer together.
Business process outsourcing is the process or business practice in which a company subcontracts different business-related operations to be managed by a party not within the company. BPO’s simple meaning can be looked at in this perspective: rooted in the manufacturing industry, organizations utilized the practice of contracting other companies to fulfill services needed to produce customer support and service.

Advantages and Disadvantages of BPO
Advantages
- Career advancement
BPO employees are trained to be well-rounded, flexible workers who are always on the go. Once regularized, BPO employees can easily rank up to supervisory, managerial, and other support roles that fit their skill set and work history.
- Higher earnings
As career advancement promises higher earnings, the BPO industry is a place for growth as you see your earnings heighten as your roles advance. For many years, the BPO industry produced successful employee stories.
- Higher employment rate
Fresh graduates stand a bigger chance in the BPO industry because companies are always on the lookout for young professionals with a large skill set. There are also several BPO opportunities because of the advancement of technology and digital platforms.
Disadvantages
- Working hours
Unfortunately, working in the BPO industry comes with the issue of odd working hours. Many have to adapt to night shifts, especially those in offshore outsourcing. Sometimes, BPO workers have to work around the clock to meet quotas.
- Health issues
BPO workers also encounter several health issues throughout their career due to lack of physical exercise in their working hours leading to heart disease and depression. It may also damage their eyesight, posture, and sleeping schedule as working hours are often late and constricted in a small, enclosed space.
- Communication problems
There are also a lot of issues in terms of handling clients. For example, encountering data privacy issues may set you up for a lot of customer aggression that you have to calmly deal with. A great downside of working in the BPO industry is the stress it comes with.

Staff Leasing VS. BPO Model
Recruitment
BPO: The BPO team’s resources are re-purposed, and because of this, they may still need to end up hiring new talent to meet client needs.
KMC Staff Leasing: The recruitment needs come directly from the client, so the candidate hired is exactly what the client is looking for.
Timeframe
BPO: BPOs usually have a month of preparation before recruitment. The BPO provider takes a longer time to prepare since the preparation needs to be consulted from the adviser.
KMC Staff Leasing: Internal KMC SLAs guarantee the fastest hiring; 30 days for non-technical talent/ 45 days for technical talent. They start the recruitment process right away after consultation with the client.
Visibility
BPO: Client company has limited or mostly no visibility on employee qualifications/ background.
KMC Staff Leasing: Recruitment is a collaborative process with KMC, with clients being given full visibility of candidate profiles from the sourcing process all the way to the final interview.
Co-management & Control
BPO: The management is fully outsourced as well, so there is no direct visibility on BPO team performance and the client has limited access to the employees.
KMC Staff Leasing: The staff leasing provider and client both co-manage the employees, with client still getting the final say on important decisions and core responsibilities.
Cost & Billing Model
BPO: Employees are billed on an hourly or fixed FTE rate, with the client getting limited visibility on the cost breakdown or employee salaries.
KMC Staff Leasing: KMC Staff Leasing service has a transparent pricing model, with flat fees for monthly HR & Payroll, Data, and Facilities. The client’s employee salaries are also transparent pass-through costs with no mark-up on the fees.
Outsourcing VS. Employer of Record
Outsourcing involves delegating specific business processes to external providers to streamline operations and reduce costs, while an Employer of Record (EOR) manages employment-related responsibilities such as payroll and compliance on behalf of a company.
KMC Teams offers both solutions, providing business with the flexibility to choose the model that best suits their needs for operational efficiency and legal compliance.
