It's shorthand for offshore outsourcing, the practice of hiring employees, usually through an outsourcing service, in another country. Companies seeking to reduce their labor costs use offshoring to employ workers at costs substantially less than at home. Typically, companies headquartered in the United States contract for employees in India, and increasingly in China, Russia, Israel, or Ireland, for example. Why is offshoring in the news? Because staff and contract workers in the United States see their jobs in the high-tech industry disappear as their current or former employers use offshoring to reduce costs. http://tc.eserver.org/14920.html http://tc.eserver.org/14920.html The Silicon Valley Chapter is pleased to offer a variety of employment resources including frequently updated lists of technical communcations job openings, internships, mentors, and a directory of employment services. The Silicon Valley Chapter provides the job list as a free service to San Francisco Bay Area businesses wishing to publicize job openings in the Technical Communications field.
