Often, the most common answer is to reduce operating costs, as doing whatever they want to outsource in-house may be too expensive already. Additionally, it can also be to access skills or capacity they don’t have in-house, or to free up their internal teams to focus on core work instead of repetitive or specialized tasks that don’t need to be done by full-time employees.

With Outpost, businesses get all three without the overhead of a full-time hire: staff sourced to match the specific skill or capacity gap, priced by actual hours worked rather than a flat salary.
