Things to Know When Hiring Offshore Teams

Tech companies invest a huge amount of time, effort, and capital into ideating and developing powerful, innovative, and software solutions to make our lives easier. However, beating their competitors to the punch and standing out while doing it is becoming increasingly difficult, as the need for tech solutions increases.

To manage the industry demands while staying ahead of the competition, these companies hire offshore teams. This helps organizations achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively while also helping discover newer markets.

Of course, this model of employment may pose some unique challenges. But these challenges can easily be managed if you adopt the appropriate strategies and deploy the necessary management tools.

With our experience in providing top-notch offshore software developers and software development teams to tech giants across the globe, we’ve pulled together some strategies and tools that have helped us and our clients manage offshore development teams.

 

What is an Offshore Team?

An Offshore team means that the team employed by you resides in another country. This method of hiring gives companies access to larger pools of talent. The companies who usually hire overseas tend to reside in countries where the cost of living is extremely high due to various reasons. By outsourcing they can reduce the cost of development. They will also be able to employ larger teams making it easier on the employees as well.

 

Types of Offshoring

We can broadly classify the types of hiring offshore employees outside the company’s payroll into three. The differences are quite simple. An offshore team will reside in a different country altogether. Usually a country on the other side of the globe. Outside of the cost benefits, companies can have their operations running round the clock in this case.

A nearshore team tends to reside closer to the company’s country of residence. This method also has the same benefits in terms of being able to cover larger time zones but may be more expensive compared to offshoring.

Finally, an onshore team will reside in the same country but may work out of a different office or state and sometimes under a different payroll. Companies that look to collaborate between each other or share technologies and expertise tend to choose this model.
