Outsourcing Business Amidst the Novel Coronavirus NCoV Outbreak by David Smith

The outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (NCoV) is now a situation declared by the World Health Organization as pandemic. The disease poses a serious ongoing concern affecting the global businesses and workforce. Economic damage is mounting across the country.

The effect of the outbreak is immense. Schools are suspended, public events are cancelled, restaurants and stores are closed and employees are being laid-off. Moreover, the NCoV manifests serious implications to businesses all over the world. Most businesses are shut down, offline retail is almost non-existent, trucking capacity to ship goods from factories to ports is at about 60 to 80 percent of normal capacity and goods are facing delays of between eight and ten days on their journey to ports. In addition to taking precautions to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, a remote-work option is highly suggested.

How I started my company in Japan by Danny Choo

1

But before we take a look at the new office, I wanted to cover what my workspace looked like over the years and the history of how it became what it is today.

This photo is taken at home on the 3rd floor back in 2006. I had left Amazon and was working for Microsoft at the time. Here is where I did a lot of coding for the build up to starting my company.

While working for Amazon and Microsoft, comrades would introduce folks who wanted me to build websites for them. Even though I was working with the web, I didn't think there was money to be made from making websites for others. I was also content with my current job which kept me busy so wasn't interested in the requests. So I threw back a "OK if you really want a website then its going to cost you blah million yen."

To my surprise, the first company who requested a website said "yes please." I was not about to say no to a few million yen (1 million = roughly 10,000 USD at the time) so programming until the early hours of the morning was the norm for the next few months where I was also able to beef up the PHP programming skills - thank you Google Sensei.

I banked a few million yen in the bank for a single website which was just shy of my annual salary of my first job in Japan. More requests started to come in which was proving to be a bit more for me to handle without it affecting my full time job.

With the help of Google Sensei again, I then started to seek developers in overseas countries and ended up with development teams in India, Romania and the US.

I would work remotely with them over phone, email and IM. I required half of the payment from my clients to be paid upfront which I used to pay my developers. I would then meet clients after work to understand their business needs which I then fed back to my developers.

It was my first experience managing my own remote staff where I had memorable moments like the developer who just dropped everything and disappeared ^^;

With all the extra income, I would have been crazy to declare just my earnings with the annual tax return - I needed to declare my expenses too as I was effectively running a company on the side so I founded my first business entity which was a sole proprietorship.

A sole proprietorship enables one to declare not only their earnings but also their expenses too. For example, If I use 25% of my home as an office, I can declare 25% of my rent/mortgage. I use my Internet connection for 90% of my work so I declare 90% of the cost as an expense.

By declaring your expenses, the amount of tax you pay is reduced as you only pay tax on the profits.

If you make 1000 USD a year and don't declare your expenses then you will pay tax on that 1000 USD. If you declare your expenses as being 800 USD and assume that your total income was 1000 USD, then you only pay tax on the difference which is 200 USD.

Anyway, by this time I knew that I wanted to have my own company later in life and gave myself a goal of setting up a company by the age of 35. The sole proprietorship was the beginning of everything and it was to be our future. I called it "Mirai" [未来] which means "Future."

I wrote up something simple about starting a sole proprietorship in Japan in the Japan Proprietorship post. Most countries have the same system and anybody should be able to start one - costs nothing to register and anybody making money on the side would be crazy not to have one - unless you like being taxed.

It is important to understand that this is not a form of tax evasion but a legitimate way to declare your expenses which you need to generate earnings. As far as I know there is no age limit to setting up a sole proprietorship.

Falkirk Wheel by cameraphone by gdelargy

I hate mobile phones. Loathe, detest, and abominate them. I have three. Plus, I'm in charge of all the mobile phones in my office, as well as those of our 200+ remote staff members throughout Britain. Oh, the irony.

I don't like them because of what they do (make you available to the demands of others when you should be enjoying time to yourself), but I'm willing to give this Sony Ericsson K810i a shot, partly because the camera is supposedly quite good, and partly because it's on the company tab. I have to admit, for a point'n'shoot of the most simplistic kind, this isn't a bad result. My Canon won't be having sleepless nights, but my old Nikon Coolpix might be sweating...

How to Hire a Rockstar Project Manager Online by Clarity Animations

1

via

Let’s flash back to this time last year. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t in a good place. I was working 12 hours a day trying to get my business off the ground. I had zero time for a social life and my health was declining pretty fast…

This problem was multiplied when Clarity started to gain more clients, and I found myself trapped in my own business, struggling to keep it together.

Fast-forward to today, and we have a dedicated Project Manager who handles everything from customer experience to production. This ONE hire has freed 4 hours a day, allowing me to focus on marketing and growth.

Now if this sounds familiar, I suggest reading on to learn my hiring process for remote staff as a way to free up your time, and take control of your business.

I write my exact steps and provide templates below, but first, let’s look into the advantages and risks of hiring online.

Advantages:

More staff handling the work IN the business allows you to work ON the business, which is where your time should be spent

You gain access to a wide talent pool

You can take advantage of time zone differences for those that run an international company

Risks:

It’s hard to really know what the candidate is like in a work environment

There’s less accountability for their time and work output

You have less control of the employee

You can potentially get burned e.g. non-responsive staff member goes AWOL

With anything in business, there will always be risks involved. However, hiring online doesn’t have to be scary or risky. In fact – you can guarantee successful hires IF you do the necessary screening beforehand.

Let’s get into the steps!

NOTE: I hired a project manager, but this process works for any role. I followed these steps when hiring my Marketing Assistant too. In another post I’ll elaborate on how I train and systemise a business too.

1. Create a VERY detailed job posting

You need to know EXACTLY what you require of your new staff member, arguably more than you would for a physical employee. The communication structure shifts to virtual, and thus there’s more chance for miscommunication. Spend a few hours outlining the role, down to the finer details. Then make sure to sell you, and your company well online.

You’ll be listing this role on sites like UpWork, and need to attract the high talent that you NEED to get the job done.

Must-haves for your listing:

Descriptive listing title that covers $$, hours required, job description

Listing content

Role description

Company description

Working hours

Take into consideration time zones, and requirements that align with your company/clients

Wage/payment

Payment terms

Detailed list of tasks

Your values in an employee

Details about you/the manager so the applicant can get to know who they’ll be working with

Training/onboarding process

Screening questions (pick 5 based off your needs or create your own)

Do you already have another job? If so, where are you working and how many hours are you working?

What relevant past experience do you have?

Do you have your own computer and Internet access from home? If you have access, how fast is your connection?

Will you work from home or from an Internet cafe?

Do you have any questions about the job description?

Have you worked with foreign employers before?

What past project or job have you had that is most like this one and why?

You want applicants to explicitly admire the job listing, and apply because they know you mean business.

Goal: Attract the best talent available

2. Shortlist the massive influx of candidates – be harsh when screening

If you wrote a detailed application, you’ll likely get over 50 applicants. To save your time, screen each applicant harshly.

To do this, review each applicant one-by-one. If the answers to your questions are generic, reject them. If their answers are one or two words and typically look lazy, reject them.

On the other hand, if the applicant showed genuine interest and meets your ideal criteria, shortlist them.

Repeat this for all applicants to weed out the obvious rejections.

Next, you’ll want to skim through your shortlist again to see if anyone else could be removed. I do this by finding my best applicant, and then comparing some people I wasn’t so sold on to see if their application still holds merit.

Sometimes applicants don’t shine at this stage, so if you’re on the fence for 1 or 2, maybe it’s best to review their questionnaire answers before cutting them.

To shortlist your applicants, adapt the following email as needed (the questionnaire is explained below):

‘Hi,

Firstly, yes this is a templated response. It’s not my style, but I’m overwhelmed by the positive response so this is the only efficient way to respond.

Good news, I like what you offer and have shortlisted you.

There were over [number of applicants] applicants and I’ve shortlisted [number shortlisted] (including you – congrats)!

If you’re still interested in this role, can you please fill out this questionnaire linked here:

[Questionnaire link goes here]

Once I’ve reviewed your responses, I’ll be interviewing 5 of you. Then I’ll likely run a trial/test with 3 applicants to make my final decision.

This may be intense or too thorough for some of you, so if you’re not interested in this screening process please respond with a ‘No’.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to reviewing your response.

Cheers,

[Your name goes here]’

Goal: Shortlist to a maximum of 15 applicants

3. The questionnaire – an interest hoop

Now we really test the applicant’s interest in your role. Create a questionnaire using Google Forms or another free software to further screen your shortlist. To speed up your hiring process, simply adapt my questionnaire to suit your role.

Remember we’re trying to weed out the lazy applicants to find the true gems.

The questionnaire should take 15-20 minutes and will give you further material to axe some applicants.

Ask yourself the following questions when reading the responses:

Is their written English adequate for the role?

Have they put in effort to answer questions?

Do the answers intrigue/interest you?

Do the responses reflect your company values?

Does their personality match your ideal candidate?

Do you relate to their answers?

Go through each response, and separate the answers into ‘interviewees’ and ‘rejections’. I create separate sheets in a Google Sheet and sort them that way.

If you view my questionnaire, you’ll notice I ask if they have any questions about the role. I received a number of questions so addressed them in a PDF, using the following template:

‘Hi,

If you’re reading this then your questionnaire answers were great.

I’ve shortlisted applicants down to the final 10, however before we continue I’d like to address the responses to the question ‘Do you have any questions about the expectations/requirements?’

I’ve created a PDF which can be found here:

[PDF link goes here]

Please read this document and simply reply ‘yes’ to the email if you’re still interested. If I haven’t heard back from you within 48 hours I’ll assume that you’re not interested.

Once I know who is still interested, I will choose the interviewees.

I hope these answers clarify any concerns you have about the role and I thank you for your patience during this process.

Thanks,

[Your name goes here]’

Then, once I’ve received my ‘Yes’ responses, I decide on my interviewees. I also order the candidates from best to worst, so I know exactly where each applicant stands in the process.

Goal: Shortlist to a maximum of 5 applicants

4. Interview time

Congrats, you’ve screened the applicants further and found your top 5. I’d recommend notifying the applicants via email or UpWork that they’re through to the next stage, and then send out a generic message to all rejected applicants to notify them of your decision (you don’t have to do this but I think it’s only fair if they take the time to fill out a questionnaire).

Here’s my template to successful interviewees:

‘Hi,

After reviewing the remaining applicants I’ve chosen my interviewees and you’re one of them

Apologies for the long hiring process so far, it hasn’t been easy with the number of qualified applicants – I’m seriously impressed with the standard so far.

I’ll be conducting my interviews this Monday/Tuesday [substitute for your preferred days], you can schedule a call here via Calendly [link Calendly].

I look forward to talking to you and learning more about how we can work together.

Cheers,’

Here’s my template to rejected applicants:

‘Hi,

Firstly, thank you for filling out the questionnaire, I really appreciate it.

However, I’ve decided to proceed with someone else for the role.

I will keep your contact details on file in case it doesn’t work out.

I wish you the best of luck in your hunt for another role.

Thanks,’

I get the interviewees to schedule their interviews via Calendly to avoid the back and forth time-suck that is email. I tweak the Calendly link to complete all interviews across 2 days, in suitable times for me. This keeps the hiring process moving forward efficiently.

Now you should have 5 scheduled interviews.

Prepare your interview questions prior to the call, and then enjoy the interviews.

When interviewing, look for the following things:

What’s their spoken English like – is it suitable for the role?

Are they concise?

Do they actually answer the question?

Do they ramble on or go off-topic?

Can I see myself working with this person?

Do we connect on a conversational level i.e. could you hold a conversation with this person in a social setting?

Note: I’m no expert on interviewing by any means, the above is from personal experience. There will be better resources on the internet for this specific part.

I like to take notes during the interview, and add these to the Google Sheet, next to the shortlist answers.

This makes it easier to review the applicants when hiring.

Goal: Shortlist again to 3 final applicants

Cats optional for interviews

5. Test

Not every role requires this, and I personally didn’t do this when I was hiring because I was already sold on the applicant after the interview.

However, if you’d like to go one step further, create a small 1-2 hour test for the applicant (paid, of course).

This could include creating a scenario that mimics a typical project/stage, and then getting the applicant to complete it.

Ideally you’d provide guided steps, and it’s a matter of reviewing their competence, attention to detail and speed.

Go a step further and create some sort of ‘issue’ in the scenario too, to test their initiative and quick thinking (vital for a Project Manager as unexpected issues do occur).

Once finished, review their work and go over the scenario with them to understand their thinking.

Goal: Find the successful applicant

6. Hire

By this stage it should be very clear who your golden star is. Review the applicants again via your Google Sheet, and then contact the successful applicant for a quick 5 minute chat on Skype.

These calls are usually relaxed, and are designed to discuss the next steps e.g. starting date, training schedule.

The unsuccessful applicants should receive an email or UpWork message to notify them of the outcome, here’s my template:

‘Hi [Name],

Firstly thank you for your patience during this hiring process, I understand it’s taken a while but it’s been very difficult to choose from such a qualified pool of applicants.

However, after reviewing all applicants in detail I’ve decided to proceed with another applicant.

I will keep your contact details on file in case it doesn’t work out and I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit for another PM role.

Thanks,’

Goal: Hire the applicant and celebrate

It looks like this, but through a computer screen

So who did we hire?

You may be wondering who I chose after this lengthy process.

Let me introduce you to our project manager Francheska, from the Dominican Republic.

I hired Francheska because we clicked from the start of the interview. She had previous experience as a remote Project Manager, understood the role well, and showed exactly how her skillset will benefit Clarity Animations.

She’s creative, loves music and reading, and when she’s not working she enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

I was looking for someone who’s more organised than me and has attention to detail which Francheska shines in. Her intense amount of lists makes her the perfect weapon to ensure projects run smoothly, and on time.

Francheska is now handling all projects, and gauging from client feedback, she’s doing a great job.

The craziest part is, we’ve never met! Hiring overseas over the internet has a bad reputation but it can be effective. Hopefully the above guide will put you on the right path to making the perfect hire, every time.

P.S. I wrote this blog post because online work and changing workforces are something I have a personal interest in. This blog may not help the company sell more videos, but if you found it useful please let me know via email or a comment below.

Through the company’s Avatar Guild remote staffing agency, users can seek employment, which provides a way for people to remain active in society. The goal is to demonstrate that with the right tools, even people who have difficulties in moving about freely can participate in physical labor and customer service from the comfort of their homes via an avatar robot.

The development of avatar robots is the foundation for this groundbreaking project, removing the barrier between job seekers and employers. It provides a place for job-hunting and training for those with disabilities, and successfully led to permanent placements at conventional companies. Visiting reveals how the café is designed to provide customer service with a human touch, via robots. The robots serve as a medium for lively interaction between those with and without disabilities, and thus far we have seen how invaluable this is.

For those who hesitate to venture outside due to physical/psychological challenges, past accidents or the like, the avatar robot OriHime provides another means for physical expression and action.

OriHime is controlled remotely by “pilots” who interact with the world outside through robot-mounted cameras, speakers, and microphone. In this way, the robots offer virtual outings even for paralyzed pilots, by using a line-of-sight input device to speak with others.

About Culture Japan by Danny Choo

Flexible work hours

Once upon a time I used to think that I could effectively run a business with remote staff using tools like mail, skype and monosnap. What ended up happening was that I would spend 90% of the day touching base with my staff located in countries like Romania, Philippines, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore and the UK.

Moving forward, I’m investing in a larger office and hiring more folks locally in Tokyo. This should enable us to better articulate our ideas and emotions on a 1 to 1 basis.

While we do need to spend a certain amount of time in the office to touch base and communicate with the team - the most important thing is that you deliver your goods which is why we are flexible about allowing staff to go and run personal errands and wot not.

Transform task reporting and take your business to new heights by Sana Khan

Businesses thrive on their capability to get their work done in time and efficiently. Every project or assignment that the work includes involves a series of tasks, activities, people, budget, and deadlines. Irrespective of the size of the project or tasks, its success or failure depends on the execution plan, order, and efficiency in which the tasks are completed. When a business knows how to organize, schedule, delegate, review, and monitor tasks, it almost ensures expected and fruitful outcomes in a timely manner. How effectively these outcomes from ongoing tasks are communicated to the decision-makers has a major influence on their success. The majority of small companies are yet to embrace technology in this extremely crucial aspect of running their business. They are still utilizing dated methods of getting the data reported using manual reports that employees compile at the end of the day. This process is significantly improved with the introduction of professional task management software like Leysha.

Challenges posed due to inefficient manual reporting are:

1. Delayed reporting causing delayed decisions.

2. Difficulty in utilizing the reported data over a period of time as it's in sheets of paper.

3. Missing crucial details as time has passed by the time the employee is curating the manual reports, typically at the end of the day.

4. Irregularity in reporting due to conditions like urgent work, meetings, or change of shifts.

5. Failing to create and maintain comparative reports to review performance.

6. Difficulty in verifying reported work and knowing the real story behind the numbers.

7. Improper reporting from the field & remote staff as they failed to follow instructions at that moment.

Leysha transforms this process and makes the experience enjoyable not only for the decision-makers but also for the employees to report data. Leysha automates report compilation and sending based on pre-set rules. So you can easily receive work or status reports related to tasks and even other business functions from one or many or All employees on a daily, weekly, monthly, instantly, or all of them too. Learn how automation helps you spend less time and get verified work reports. Leysha.ai's task management feature helps you monitor work as it happens and get reports at your set intervals. It eliminates all barriers and allows for fluid decision-making across the company.

Digital Marketing Outsourcing by Staff Outsource Solutions

The world of digital marketing is complex and very dynamic. For success in the digital world, it’s crucial that marketers stay on top of emerging trends, best practices, and new technologies. Staff Outsource Solutions offers several options when it comes to assisting you with your Digital Marketing needs.

Account Outsourcing Services by Staff Outsource Solutions

Outsourcing Business Amidst the Novel Coronavirus (NCoV) Outbreak by David Smith

The outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (NCoV) is now a situation declared by the World Health Organization as pandemic. The disease poses a serious ongoing concern affecting the global businesses and workforce. Economic damage is mounting across the country.

The effect of the outbreak is immense. Schools are suspended, public events are cancelled, restaurants and stores are closed and employees are being laid-off. Moreover, the NCoV manifests serious implications to businesses all over the world. Most businesses are shut down, offline retail is almost non-existent, trucking capacity to ship goods from factories to ports is at about 60 to 80 percent of normal capacity and goods are facing delays of between eight and ten days on their journey to ports. In addition to taking precautions to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, a remote-work option is highly suggested.
