What is staff leasing, and how is it different from staff augmentation?
Staff leasing is the Philippine term for the model on this page: a provider employs a person on your behalf, provides the office or home setup, equipment, HR and compliance, and you direct their day-to-day work. In the US and Australia the same arrangement is usually called staff augmentation or offshoring, and that is the term Sourcefit uses, because the people are not leased; they are dedicated employees who work only for you, and the team is yours to take in house at any time without a transfer fee.
It sits between two other models. Employer of Record (EOR) covers legal employment, payroll and compliance only; you find, equip and manage the person yourself. Fully managed outsourcing, or BPO, puts the provider in charge of the team and the outcome against service levels. Staff augmentation gives you the control of EOR with the recruitment, equipment, IT, training and support of a BPO, at a flat management fee of $395 per employee per month working from home and $495 in our offices, with salary and benefits passed through at cost.

What is staff leasing?
Staff leasing is the Philippine name for staff augmentation: a provider employs, equips and supports a dedicated person or team on your behalf while you direct their work. Sourcefit uses the term staff augmentation because the staff are dedicated employees, not leased resources, and the team is yours to bring in house at any time without a transfer fee.

Staff leasing, staff augmentation, EOR or BPO: which do I need?
Staff leasing and staff augmentation are the same model. Choose it when you want to manage the work yourself and have the provider handle employment, recruitment, equipment, IT and support. Choose Employer of Record when you only need legal employment and payroll for people you already have. Choose fully managed outsourcing when you want the provider to run the team and own the outcome against service levels. Sourcefit offers all three, with the fee for each shown on the pricing page.
