HR Outsourcing in Indonesia: The Benefits & Challenges

Hiring an incompetent employee is a liability. According to a survey, a bad hire can cost a business $50,000 or more. While it actually differs depending on the industry or the country, one thing is clear: it loses you money.

A poorly chosen employee can result in a fast turnover rate, low productivity, and decreased morale among the team members. It’s not unusual for the best people to leave if companies continue to pick the wrong individuals to join a team. This person can also potentially affect your brand and your customer relationship.

For all these reasons, it is not enough that a business has a human resource department. More than anything, it needs to be effective.

Foreigners who are trying to open companies in another country such as Indonesia may find setting up an HR more challenging. That’s why Cekindo is here to help.

The Benefits of HR Outsourcing in Indonesia

One of the trusted market-entry partners in Indonesia, Cekindo as an Employer of Record has designed useful HR outsourcing Indonesia programs for a variety of foreign clients.

Our company has a presence in some of the major cities in the country, and these include Semarang. A well-known port-city, the metro is home to almost 2 million people and around 10 universities, which makes it not only accessible but also a hotspot for new talent. However, this is also a reason why selection of a right candidate can take weeks.

In Cekindo, we know that time is money. Our Semarang team will advise you on quality HR outsourcing among others so you can truly focus on your core activities.

Outsourcing the recruitment process will bring you these benefits:

1. Legal Support and Guidance

HR and national or local laws always go hand in hand, and many of your company’s guidelines or policies such as wages have to refer to these regulations. Navigating through these laws, though, can be difficult for a new foreign investor for many reasons. One of these is they can change more often than one thinks. Moreover, with so many cities and provinces in the country, it is hard to keep up with the differences in regulations.

Indonesia HR outsourcing reduces the time you need to understand these laws as you will receive both legal support and guidance every step of the way.
