Outstaffing means taking personnel off your payroll: employees keep working on your project and under your management, but they are legally employed by a provider that handles HR administration, payroll and reporting.

How outstaffing differs from outsourcing

The two services are often confused, though the difference is fundamental:

  • Outstaffing — you manage the people yourself, while the provider is responsible for employment and HR administration.
  • Outsourcing — an entire function is handed to the provider (for example, support work), and the provider manages the team and is accountable for the result.

Put simply: outstaffing is "your tasks, our paperwork," outsourcing is "our team, our result."

Who benefits from outstaffing

  • Project-based companies with peaks in workload: headcount can be scaled up and down flexibly to match volumes, without expanding the permanent staff.
  • Foreign companies entering the Kazakhstan market: they can start operating with a team before building their own HR structure.
  • Companies with a headcount cap that need extra hands without changing the staffing schedule.
  • Businesses that want to relieve HR and accounting of administering part of the workforce.
