Today, business leaders of various MNCs are focusing beyond domestic workforce and skilled immigrants as part of their talent acquisition plan. This stands true not only for large corporations but for all organizations (irrespective of size) that are creating & managing remote, virtual teams to remain competitive in the marketplace. However, any business case on globalization can’t be complete without a clear evaluation of talent ecosystem in the outsourcing destination.

Hiring Insights
• Like any emerging market, Monetary Compensation is a key motivating factor for Argentineans. Brand name is given high importance and
Argentineans generally prefer to work for well known foreign companies, , which provide work environment of international standards
• Availability of talent along with relatively lower hiring costs makes hiring for high-end tech support and BPO less severe
• The cost of operations and compensation are much below those in Mexico, Brazil and Chile. However, in tune with the market demand,
compensation as well as attrition levels have been increasing
• The time advantage is believed to be the main reason for the low attrition rate in BPO. Currently, attrition levels for the IT-Services, Tech-
Support and Software product development is on the higher side due to rising competition
