One US-based MSP had already tried traditional offshore hiring. The result? Poor retention, weak communication and inconsistent technical quality. But they’d already sold significant amounts of work at that price point. So we rebuilt the model. Over 12 months, we placed 40+ Microsoft Cloud Engineers across Brazil, Costa Rica, South Africa and India — including talent from Microsoft and leading Microsoft Partners. The lesson: borderless hiring works when you get the location, profile and quality bar right. Claim your Free Microsoft Capability Assessment and we’ll assess whether a borderless model could work for your business.

An urgent vacancy shouldn’t be the point you start looking for talent.
