The Costly Reality of Traditional Hiring
Hiring employees through a traditional in-office model comes with hidden expenses beyond just salaries. Businesses must cover:
- Office space, rent, and utilities
- Equipment (desks, laptops, internet, security systems)
- HR & recruitment expenses
- Taxes, insurance, and benefits
- Employee perks like meals, transport, and gym memberships
For a small-to-medium business, these costs quickly add up, making scalability difficult.
The solution? Remote staffing. By shifting to Zedtreeo’s Remote Staffing Services, businesses can cut hiring costs by up to 90% while maintaining productivity.
The Cost Breakdown: Traditional Hiring vs. Remote Staffing
Comparative Cost Analysis
| Cost Factor | In-House Employee | Remote Staff | Savings (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | $5,000/month | $2,000/month | 60% |
| Office & Equipment | $1,700/month | $0 | 100% |
| HR & Recruitment | $1,000 per hire | Included | 100% |
| Employee Benefits | $1,500/month | $0 | 100% |
| Total Cost | $10,000+ | $2,000-$3,000 | Up to 90% |
Remote staffing eliminates fixed expenses like rent, utilities, and insurance while ensuring quality work at a fraction of the cost.
Global Talent Without the Overhead
When hiring in a local market, businesses compete with high salaries and limited talent pools. With remote staffing, you gain access to:
- Highly skilled professionals at lower wages (without compromising expertise)
- A worldwide talent network, not just candidates in one city
- Flexible staffing models – scale teams up or down as needed
Example:
A US-based company paying $80,000/year for an in-house software engineer can hire an equally skilled remote developer for $25,000/year – an immediate 70% cost reduction.
