The Hire Knowledge Project ... Find the right one.

Have you ever wondered if that customer support rep you waited hours to speak with is from another planet? Well, it just might be the case, if not now, perhaps in the near future, as Earthly companies look to lower operating costs even further, according to Xark!*ga*@h, a spokesbeing for Arcturus-based recruitment firm Galactic Solutions.

Companies have been outsourcing jobs to countries with low labour costs for years, but the current economic woes require far more ambitious cost cutting. Fortunately, science is coming to the rescue of many bottom lines. It seems like every day that new planets are discovered around nearby stars, giving enterprising corporate managers lots of new real estate to choose from. Occupied? No problem. Tentacles can do wonders on an assembly line, and who doesn't need new markets for their widgets?. Labour regulations? They don't apply, even if they could read our terrestrial legalese. With tidal locking on some planets, the day shift never ends. With advantages like these, it's no wonder the smart money is looking up, up and really far away!

As you can see here, these new territories offer plenty of room for development and a variety of climates and environments suitable to a truly diverse workforce. While many companies may prefer to maintain operations here on Earth, and others might balk at the long distance charges and shipping fees, imaginative business leaders are lining up to give alien worlds a closer look.
