Someone put that in the HN title, the original article does not (for it's worth, I've flagged it thus).

Also, virtually every company in the world outsources. Do you use an external account for tax compliance? Outsourcing. Do you have a lawyer that's on a contract? Outsourcing. You got that advertisement created for your online ad campaign from a marketing company? Outsourcing.

Using the word outsourcing here is not correct. They are paying full-time employees and managing them as such.
