Outsourcing office work?

Firms are looking everywhere these days to save money. Whether it's holding off on hiring or even taking the dreaded step of letting people go, staffing represents the largest cost to a firm. But what if you could outsource some of those functions? Sure, many firms already contract with consultants for their graphic design, web site help, and IT functions. But what about other areas? Do you use a staffing agency to help answer the phones? What about your HR department?

If you are outsourcing any of these areas, or anything else, let us know! We're working on an article for an upcoming issue of PSMJ.
