Cut IT Staffing Costs by 66% Without Sacrificing Quality – How MSPs Are Winning with Offshore IT Staffing

The demand for skilled IT engineers is higher than ever, but so are the IT Staffing costs. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in the US, UK, and Canada, hiring locally can mean salaries of $80,000 to $120,000 per year, plus benefits, bonuses, and overhead.

Add to that the competition for talent, slow recruitment timelines, and the constant risk of employee turnover, and MSPs are under increasing pressure to find smarter staffing solutions.

That’s where offshore IT staffing comes in — a strategy that’s helping MSPs cut IT Staffing costs by up to 66% without sacrificing quality or client satisfaction.

Offshore IT staffing allows MSPs to hire vendor-certified engineers who work remotely from secure overseas facilities, but operate as part of your team.

At MSP Resources, Inc., we provide you with skilled professionals — from Help Desk Engineers to Cybersecurity & Compliance Specialists — at one-third the cost of local hires.

With our model, you avoid the high expenses of office space, recruitment, benefits, and payroll taxes.

Your resource is fully managed by us, and you pay a flat monthly rate — often up to 66% lower than hiring locally.

Our month-to-month agreements mean you can scale up or down without penalty. We keep your business because we add value every month — not because of a binding contract.

Whether you need Microsoft 365 support, Azure engineers, cloud specialists, or cybersecurity professionals, we provide you with certified talent ready to integrate with your team immediately.

We ensure your offshore engineers work during your business hours, allowing for seamless communication and collaboration with your clients and in-house team.

All engineers work from secure offshore offices with strict compliance measures in place, protecting your client data and meeting industry standards.

A US-based MSP wanted to expand its cybersecurity services but couldn’t justify the cost of hiring a senior engineer locally. We provided a Certified Cybersecurity & Compliance Engineer at less than half the local cost.
