Companies use fake job listings to create the appearance of
being open to external talent and to project an image of
organizational growth
GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico,
Aug. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ResumeBuilder.com, the
premier resource for professional resume templates and career
advice, has released a new survey report examining the impact of
offshore hiring on U.S. employees. The report delves into the
prevalence of replacing laid-off domestic employees with offshore
workers. In total, ResumeBuilder.com surveyed 600 business
leaders.
"The move towards offshore hiring is
primarily driven by cost-cutting measures," says ResumeBuilder's
Chief Career Advisor Stacie Haller.
"While it can lead to significant savings for companies, it also
raises concerns about job security and the long-term impact on the
U.S. workforce."
According to the survey findings, 19 percent of companies
admitted to replacing laid-off U.S. employees with offshore
workers. The survey indicates that the decision to replace U.S.
employees with offshore workers predominantly stems from financial
incentives. The survey also found that business leaders adopted
this strategy to improve productivity and scale their
workforce.
The roles most commonly affected were customer service (58
percent) and tech positions (49 percent), while other notable roles
included data entry (47 percent), digital marketing (41 percent),
and manufacturing (40 percent).
