How to hire a development team without recruitment, HR documentation, and all that stuff? How to get the top talent with required skills, knowledge and experience?

We are here to help you. 

Recently hiring dedicated development teams became quite a standard practice in the IT industry for both: well-established companies and growing startups. A dedicated team is a business model of cooperation between a client and an IT service provider. It stands on the basis of fixed price (FP) and time & material (T&M) models. Term “dedicated” means that this team is solely allocated to the client’s project, working full-time.

This approach can benefit your business in many ways, but it can result in a number of challenges as well. 

What are the benefits of hiring a dedicated development team? 

• Cost-efficiency: with a dedicated development team you get a service, not people. Paying for a service in many cases might be more reasonable than having to pay fixed salaries, take care of infrastructure cost, office space, training, etc.

• Flexible team management – the core concept of development outsourcing is easily shortening or scaling a team in response to the changing requirements.

• Complete team from the very beginning: your dedicated development team might consist of any combination of specialists that suits your needs. Front – end / Back – end developers, QA specialists, DevOps, Analysts or PMs / Scrum Masters – you name it. 

• Vast experience – the team you hire has most probably worked for various companies and in diverse projects. It’s difficult to achieve that with your own in-house team.

What are the challenges when hiring a dedicated development team?

• Not compatible with small and short-term projects: outsourcing a full-scale dedicated development team is not the most suitable for short-time projects or it might be quite expensive.

• Different time zones: time difference might be a disadvantage when you need an immediate update on your project, but a team is working on a different schedule.

• Communication issues: usually dedicated development teams work remotely. That might result in various struggles involving communication and administration support.
