How to plan an offshore role before you hire
Turn a loose task list into a role with clear hours, access limits, and review rules.
The short answer
Write the role around work that already exists. List the tasks, the tools used, the hours that need coverage, and the decisions that stay with your team. A provider can screen more accurately when those details are settled first.
What to prepare
- Five to ten tasks the person will handle often
- Examples of finished work
- Required hours and overlap
- Tools and access limits
Check these points
- Who owns the result?
- What needs approval?
- How will the first week be reviewed?
- What would make this role a poor fit?
