“Outsourcing allows companies to access talent, and continue to scale their business, even in tough markets and amidst a labor crunch,” said Alan Pendleton, Co-Founder and CEO of ArenaCX. “Done well, it also yields both performance improvements and cost savings. But there are thousands of outsourcing companies around the world. The range of offerings, capabilities, talent pools, and skill sets varies wildly. It can be daunting. Making the wrong selection can bring serious consequences. ArenaCX helps companies scale with ease: confident that they are sourcing the right outsourcing partner at the right price on the right contract terms.”
ArenaCX says it has “more than 100 vetted, best-of-breed partners” and offers “one of the world’s largest resource pools for outsourced talent.”
Specialties include customer service, sales and marketing, accounting and bookkeeping, human resources and recruiting, or administrative and back office service.
