How U.S. Companies Can Save Over 60% on Customer Support by Outsourcing to Kosovo

Customer support is critical, but it is also one of the most expensive functions for a U.S. business. Between high salaries, benefits, office space, and equipment, hiring in-house staff has become a major financial burden.

The Smarter Alternative for 2026

In 2026, U.S. companies are discovering that outsourcing to Kosovo doesn't just provide access to elite professionals—it reduces costs by over 60%. Kosovo offers a highly educated workforce and a growing talent pool that is deeply aligned with Western business standards.

Real Cost Savings: The Breakdown

Hiring a U.S.-based customer support representative can cost roughly $62,000 per year when including salary and overhead. In contrast, outsourcing to Kosovo reduces this cost to around $25,000 per year.

  • Savings per Agent: ~$37,000 annually.
  • Savings for a Team of 10: ~$370,000 annually.

Why Choose Kosovo Over Asia?

While traditional markets in Asia offer low rates, they often come with high turnover and time-zone friction. Kosovo provides:

  • Competitive labor starting from $11 USD/hour.
  • Stable, long-term staff with significantly lower turnover.
  • Better cultural alignment and near-native English proficiency.
