Even most successful organizations have to make a decision whether certain HR roles are to be handled in-house or by human resource outsourcing (HRO). There are a few signs that indicate that HRO may be resorted to. These are discussed below:

• Quality of work: In case the in-house staff is not able to produce the expected quality of work for a long period, it may be outsourced, while the team may need to be changed gradually.
• Missed Deadlines: If large complaints are received regarding pay cheques, document handling. An HRO may be entrusted with the job without hiring new hr employees.
• High Cost: In case the cost incurred is high, the HRO services may be resorted to. This may also increase efficiency, quality, and speed, and reduce internal costs.
• In-house staff overworked: HRO may be resorted to.
• More Mistakes: In-house staff are likely to make more mistakes if overworked; HRO may be resorted to.
• Unsatisfied HR staff: If HR workers complain more frequently, their output will also be of unsatisfactory quality. An HRO can step in during busy seasons to take on such requirements

Above mentioned points are a few indicators for outsourcing the requirements. However, the organization must take sufficient steps to prevent any loss of important information to the outsourcer.
