How to use VOGSY's multinational resource pool
A multinational resource pool brings strategic advantagesâaccess to talent across time zones, languages, and specialized skill sets. Proximity to customers in other countries can be another advantage, as can the possibility of optimizing costs by accessing talent in countries that can offer cost advantages due to variations in wages. For setup instructions, we refer to the article about setting up a multinational resource pool.
However, you need data to match customer demand with the availability of the required resources. VOGSY provides the tools to match the demand and supply of resources effectively.
Visual indicators: country flags
To help teams quickly identify where a colleague is based, VOGSY displays country flags on employee avatars. This makes it easy to coordinate across geographies and consider location in staffing decisions.
The country flags for employees are set in the employee's department.
Opportunity bookings
VOGSY enables account managers and project managers to match the customer's demands with availability in your international resource pool as early as possible, well before a project kicks off.
You can specify the FTEs required for each activity, skill set, and seniority level.
With these requirements, VOGSY enables you to search your entire international resource pool, filtering by:
- Department
- Required activities
- Seniority
- Skills
- Labels
This helps you identify the most suitable candidates, across any location, early in the sales or scoping process.
Allocating resources to projects
When allocating resources to projects, the same selection can be made, ensuring the best available resources with the best rates.
