Connecting You with the Talent You Need Quickly
At Harris Global Business Services (GBS), our mission is to exclusively serve the needs of Harris business units across all verticals for high-quality offshore talent. As a Center of Excellence for global offshoring, we provide a turn-key solution for helping you tap into a highly skilled, highly English proficient global talent pool to build new or expand existing offshore teams.
Our model is fully integrated with corporate services across Harris, helping you quickly solve for the broader impact of having roles unfilled or filled by the wrong people. On average, our business unit partners are able to begin reviewing qualified candidates within two weeks of starting an engagement with us and are able to make a hire within 30-60 days.

Strength through Diversity
Leveraging offshore talent offers a cost-effective strategy for driving diversity across your teams. Not only does hiring global talent invite rich diversity of thought and perspective, but it provides for geographic and geopolitical diversification, which can help mitigate the business impact of potential natural disasters or political disruptions.
A Full-Service Solution for Your Offshore Talent Needs
Our end-to-end offshore recruitment services have been designed to help you secure the high-quality offshore talent you need when you need it so you can run your business more efficiently and effectively. And because our high-touch recruitment model creates a positive, engaging candidate experience from day one, the first-year retention rate for Harris GBS-sourced talent is significantly higher, with over 60% less attrition than the Harris-wide average in the first 12 months.
A Simple, Streamlined Process for Hiring Managers
We do the heavy lifting to make the offshore recruitment, hiring, and onboarding processes simple, fast, and effective for our business unit partners:
- Financial Discipline
With the efficiencies and economies of scale created through our centralized recruitment model, fully burdened recruitment costs for candidates sourced through Harris GBS are often 30%+ lower depending on role than traditional approaches at the business unit level. And with calculators and tools to help you accurately forecast operating expenses costs for your positions, we can help you ensure you stay in range of your monthly forecast.
- Candidate Vetting
We thoroughly vet candidates’ functional and technical skills and English proficiency and provide detailed interview summaries to ensure hiring manager time is invested wisely on only the best candidates for the job. And we work closely with hiring managers to calibrate our vetting criteria throughout the hiring process to ensure candidate hireability.
- High-touch End-to-End Support
We work closely with hiring managers throughout the recruitment process, providing interview coaching for efficiency and effectiveness and calibrating on hiring criteria as needed. But our support model doesn’t end with recruitment—we support you and your offshore hires through new employee onboarding and initial training during the first 90 days with a focus on customer service and quick response throughout the process.
- Local Office & Partnerships
With local offices established in multiple countries, we manage employee payroll and benefits for each new offshore hire at the local level. We also have partnerships with local recruitment firms that can be leveraged to augment recruitment support, so we can easily scale to meet talent demands.
- Full Integration with Harris Corporate Services
We coordinate directly with human resources, payroll, compliance, legal, and IT so you don’t have to.
