Outsource QA testers to the Philippines

Quality assurance testers are constantly measuring, reporting and cross-checking previous findings on past tests before reaching a final, approved product verdict. To do this effectively, they need to be detail-oriented and have strong analytical skills to spot faults and defects. Strong decision making and good judgement skills provide the necessary expertise required to liaise with designers, engineers and other personnel to create applications that will meet consumer expectations.

Outsourcing services recruit QA testers the same way an internal, talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:

• What experience and knowledge do you have in quality assurance or a similar role where you constantly check for defects and recommend solutions?
• What are your problem-solving skills like and how do you use them to identify and resolve bugs in new systems?
• How do you ensure excellent communication when speaking to design and development teams to prevent issues in upcoming applications?
• What project management techniques do you use to ensure that all defects, reviews and tests are recorded efficiently?
• Provide an example of how you showcased a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
• What reporting systems are you familiar with?

In terms of qualifications, a higher education degree or certificate in computer information science or computer science is desirable. Further accreditations from professional QA associations or testing software manufacturing companies can ensure recognised experts. Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation's tech support requirements by hiring these specialists who have an eye for perfection:

• Whether you are looking to train a QA tester from the ground up and teach them your business's way of quality and compliance, or
• Whether you are seeking expertise and an individual or team of QA testers with proven success in the tech industry.

How does hiring an outsourced QA tester work?

This first step is to find out if your business is offshore ready. If the answer is yes, here are the next steps:

• Create a job description: to help us hire the right candidate for your role. We can also assist in this process to ensure we are finding the best talent in the current local market. 
• Source the right candidate: we source candidates across our database and the local market before presenting you with a shortlist of the most suitable candidates available. 
• Screen and interview: you screen, interview and select the candidate(s) you’d like to hire while we take care of the infrastructure set up to get them ready to work for your business. It’s usually around six to eight weeks to get your offshore staff up and running.
• Onboard and train: your business, along with the operational assistance of our offshore management team, organise new staff onboarding and training, including the use of your systems, any relevant processes and workflows they may need and an overview of your company values and culture. This will help your new team member fit seamlessly into your organisation and assist in effective change management with your existing onshore team members.
