head hunting Explanation: Just a guess. I've never heard about "body shopping" (unless it means "to buy something at The Body Shop" :-) |

see reference Explanation: Body shopping is also used in the English language. See references below. Paulachak: Body shopping, or temp placements, is typically the unstructured placement of staff at a client's site, meaning that the client has to treat them the same as their own employees, with all the hassles of training, attendance and performance management, and everything else. Outsourcing, on the other hand, provides the client with a proper support organization and management team behind the relationship. So it costs a bit more, but it's a lot less strain on a client's internal management resources. Our outsourcing proposition includes: giving our staff pre-training, guarantees of service continuity, no pay raises that affect the client, internal management and motivation plans, etc. So you can see that outsourcing is a much more professional and better thought out service. Because of this, while we accept smaller opportunities as well, usually we outsource a team of 5-10 people with its own internal manager. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0NTN/is_41/ai_108... In the software sector, when considering potential partners, it is important to look for companies with an established track record of foreign clients. Other good indicators are whether the company is a member of STPI, NASSCOM or another recognised trade body. Consider whether the company is just interested in “body-shopping” or outsourcing of work, or whether they are genuinely looking for a partnership with valued added on both sides. Many companies try to be all things to everyone. Some of the bigger ones are able to succeed with this approach. But when dealing with Indian SMEs it is better to look for companies that have core strengths in the required disciplines, and can therefore differentiate themselves from the pack. http://www.trade.uktradeinvest.gov.uk/software/india/doingbu... |
