What is HR outsourcing, and what is it used for?

23.09.2025

 

Outsourcing, also known as service externalisation, involves delegating certain business functions to a specialised external provider. In other words, it is when a company relies on another company to manage tasks that are not part of its core activity. Common examples include accounting and cybersecurity services, or, in Axxon’s case, recruitment and hiring.

 

Why outsource services?

 

The goal is clear: to optimise resources and focus on what really matters. When a company outsources certain tasks, it saves time and money on processes that, while necessary, are not strategic.

 

Often, these are occasional or highly specific functions that do not justify having an in-house team. By outsourcing, companies can access specialised professionals who can provide a quick and efficient service.

 

 

How does outsourcing work?

 

The implementation of outsourcing can vary depending on the needs of each company. It can involve:

 

  • A dedicated team working exclusively for one client
  • A direct on-site presence at the client’s facilities
  • Or the company can simply be one more client in the consultancy’s portfolio

 

The important thing is that the service adapts to the company’s needs and evolves alongside it, providing real value and continuity.

 

 

Specialisation makes the difference

 

One of the main advantages of outsourcing is having access to specialised professionals. In areas such as recruitment, this sector-specific knowledge is essential for identifying the right candidate quickly and accurately.

 

At Axxon, we understand this well. That’s why our team comprises 18 different areas of specialisations — not only HR experts, but also IT, administration, production, engineering and other professionals. This allows us to:

 

  • Better understand the needs of both clients and candidates
