This week, let’s chat about the top roles that companies are sending overseas through Somewhere.?

We’ve helped hire over a thousand awesome pros in these categories, and it’s clear that businesses are catching on to the perks of going global.?

Here are the top five roles that are really making a splash:

Administrative: You know how crucial admin folks are for keeping everything running smoothly, right? Offshoring these tasks means your local team can focus on the big stuff while someone else handles the scheduling and emails.

Marketing: Digital marketing is where it’s at! By bringing in remote marketing whizzes, companies can access fresh ideas without blowing their budgets. Whether it’s social media or content creation, these pros are helping brands shine online.

Finance: Let’s be real—everyone needs good financial help! Hiring financial analysts and accountants from overseas not only saves some cash but also gets you skilled experts who can keep your books in check.

Sales: Sales development reps (SDRs) are essential for keeping that revenue flowing. By hiring SDRs abroad, businesses can reach more customers and keep their sales pipeline full without overloading their local teams.

Customer Service: Great customer support is everything! Offshoring customer service roles means you can offer 24/7 help, making sure your customers are happy without stretching your resources too thin.

These roles show just how smart it is for businesses to tap into global talent. If you’re thinking about delegating some tasks, these positions might be just what you need to level up!
