1
use an outside company for work
To pay another company to do work or provide a service that your own staff used to do.
استعمال کا انداز:
to outsource [task/service] to [company/place]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"outsource from"* instead of *"outsource to"*. The usual pattern is *"outsource [something] to [a company/place]". For example: *"They outsourced production to a firm in Mexico"*, not *"from a firm in Mexico"*. Learners also sometimes confuse *"outsource"* (paying another company to do the work) with simply *"send"* or *"move"* work inside the same company; *"outsource"* always involves an external provider.

move work to cheaper countries
To pay a company in another country to do your work, so the jobs move from your country to that country.
استعمال کا انداز:
to outsource [jobs/production] to [country/region]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think *"outsource"* in this sense always means moving the whole company abroad. In fact, only certain jobs or processes are usually outsourced to another country, while the main company stays in the home country. They also sometimes overuse *"outsource"* for any foreign trade; buying products from other countries is usually called *"import"*, not *"outsource"*.
