Forget Hiring. Just Get It Done: The Case for Business Support as a Service
Hiring is broken.
The average time to fill a role in Australia is around 40 days. That does not include onboarding, training, or the inevitable back-and-forth as someone settles into the role. For SMEs and lean teams, this delay is more than frustrating. It is costly. While you search, shortlist, interview, and hope for the best, the work piles up, deadlines slip, and internal staff burn out.
What if there was a faster, more flexible way to get the support you need without the burden of recruitment?
That is where Business Support as a Service (BSaaS) comes in. It is quietly transforming how smart companies manage admin, operations, finance, and more.
Why Traditional Hiring No Longer Works for Business Support
Let’s be honest. Hiring for support roles often feels like a gamble.
You spend time writing job ads, filtering through applications, interviewing, and even when you find someone promising, it can take months before they are contributing. Every new hire means onboarding, tech set-up, training, payroll, and management time. It is a full-time job before they even get to their full-time job.
And when that person moves on after 12 to 18 months, which is increasingly common in administrative and clerical roles, you are back to square one.
According to Deloitte, the total cost of hiring a single employee can be up to 1.5 times their annual salary when you include overheads, downtime, and lost productivity. For growing businesses, these costs are hard to justify. Especially when the work itself is consistent, but not always full-time.
The Rise of Business Support as a Service
BSaaS is business support delivered as a managed service, not through in-house recruitment.
At its core, it allows business owners to get the job done without taking on another hire.
Need help with bookkeeping, scheduling, admin, or reporting? Instead of writing a job description and waiting for the right applicant, you access a support team that is already trained and ready to go.
This model offers:
- Immediate capacity. Support can be up and running within 24 to 48 hours.
- Flexibility. Scale support up or down based on your current workload.
- Reduced risk. No employment contracts, probation periods, or HR obligations.
- Cost efficiency. Typically 30 to 50 percent lower than hiring someone in-house.
In short, you get results quickly and affordably, without the delays or risks of recruitment.
Not Just VAs. A Fully Managed Solution
When some business owners hear “outsourcing,” they picture task-based VAs or remote freelancers. Business Support as a Service is different.
At Lynk Global, for example, we offer fully managed support teams, led by Australian management and based in our own dedicated in-office facility. You are not dealing with random freelancers. You get consistency, oversight, and high-quality work that integrates into your systems.
We provide support across:
- Bookkeeping and financial admin
- General administration and document handling
- Scheduling, reporting, and CRM management
- Other essential back-office tasks
Everything is managed for you, so you do not need to train, onboard, or supervise. You just get the support you need, when you need it.
Why Businesses Are Switching to On-Demand Support
Across industries like construction, accounting, property, and professional services, businesses are choosing to work leaner.
They want:
- To reduce overheads without reducing service delivery
- To free up time for their internal team
- To avoid the hassle and risk of hiring permanent staff
- To stay agile and responsive in a changing economy
And most of all, they want speed. With providers like Lynk Global, you can have support in place within 24 hours. No job ad. No interviews. No hand-holding.
The Bottom Line
Hiring still has its place. But for many everyday admin and support functions, it is no longer the most efficient or cost-effective option.
If your business is held back by admin tasks or stretched thin by operational demands, it may be time to rethink how you get things done.
With Business Support as a Service, you skip the hiring process and get straight to results. Whether you need one-off support or a reliable long-term solution, BSaaS offers a smarter way to build capacity and drive growth.
