The commodities market is known for its volatility, which is why mining and natural resources firms are constantly under pressure to keep costs down across the board while delivering consistent returns. The intense competition to recruit highly skilled professionals is another challenge that leaves some businesses struggling to cope. Natural resources companies, for example, are often over-committed and understaffed. To be able to focus on long-term growth, many firms are turning to third parties to fill in skills shortages and achieve cost and process efficiencies.
Cost reduction and the drive for efficiency have long informed outsourcing decisions among commodity organizations. Partnerships with third parties are undertaken to convert fixed costs into variable costs, minimizing the risk of negative margins in low-production volume scenarios. To avoid immense capital investment, commodities companies also prefer to outsource activities that rely heavily on fixed investment.
Working with an offshore staffing solutions partner like Sourcefit can further drive down costs and allow a company to divert human capital and other resources to core activities.
