Managers must be loyal to the business brand, reputation, and business growth. The problem with managers who are outsourced is that their first loyalty is to their own employer.  Conflicts between your outsourced managers and their employer may directly affect their productivity and loyalty to your brand. Hiring Process:  Hiring is a long-term commitment between you and your employees. Using third-party recruiters can be helpful, but when it comes to hiring you should keep complete control. You should learn as much as you can about your candidates and how they fit into your existing workforce.
