Hiring remote dedicated teams has been becoming a go-to approach for a lot of businesses ever since the pandemic reared its head. Some companies are good with a few members on their tech team, but many want a full-fledged dedicated team of developers and engineers working for them full-time.
Where do startups find a dedicated development team? An affordable one too at that? The viable solution for many has been to go remote. A shortage of tech personnel is not a straightforward problem anymore. Businesses, especially startups and small businesses, need to look towards other means of hiring and talent acquisition to ensure they remain on an even playing field with other ‘big names’ located in tech hubs.
A ‘dedicated development team’ refers to a complete, full-fledged team of developers and engineers who work on a full-time basis for companies, on long-term projects and other tech needs. Unlike old outsourcing models, these are not temporary placements where an individual’s services are offered at a low cost through an outsourcing firm located in an ‘inexpensive’ country. With remote teams comprising smartly recruited and vetted developers and engineers, there is no longer a trade-off between skilled professionals and cost.
A typical dedicated development team may have individuals in the following roles:
In order to hire a dedicated development team, you first need to conduct an internal evaluation of your needs and then choose a business partner like Gaper to hire your team. Start off by determining what your goals and objectives are and what you need your team to do for you. Is it a one-time, long-term project? Do you want a full-time team? Do you just need a website built and maintained? According to this, Gaper will curate a team of developers for you to vet and interview, followed by sharing with you the pricing that this partnership will entail.
A dedicated team of developers ensures that your company is equipped with the human resource required to execute all tech-based tasks – on a full-time basis. Oftentimes, a company needs to implement more complex and cutting edge tech solutions which creates demand for skills of an advanced nature. If these skills are not commonly taught in a country or engineers and developers in the labor market do not offer your standard of skills yet, hiring a dedicated team of developers allows you to work on your ideas without having to abandon them or settle for something that does not fulfill your criteria.
For example, a lot of companies, big and small, are very keen on developing or in some way incorporating blockchain technology into their systems. But not every locality has the necessary skill on offer. Companies like Gaper take the time to recruit, vet, and hire engineers from all over the world to create a tech team that is dedicated to the niche any client may want to work in.
Working with remote dedicated teams can also make the software development process faster. Where expanding your team may be a mammoth task when done entirely in-house, dedicated teams are a very convenient way of continuing to work on complex projects that may possibly need a wider resource pool of talent in the future. Don’t be the company that forgoes expansion just because tech personnel was hard to come by.
Small and new companies grow fast. Even if you’re not as optimistic about the graphs, implementing certain efficient processes within your company can give it that initial boost it needs. Freeing your hands from the hassle of hiring and evaluating tech teams can save you more money and time than you are possibly estimating. It is never a good idea for a startup founder to do everything on their own when their biggest priority should be customer acquisition and effective marketing. Don’t spend your time doing something that really takes months to – a dedicated team of developers from reputable companies has the job done for you.
Typically, outsourcing, as we knew it, entailed hiring individuals from a country that was considered inexpensive and then having to deal with a cycle of lack of productivity, poor communication, high turnover and no long-term services. This made outsourcing vastly inefficient as compared to dedicated teams of developers that companies could hire in-house. If your business has long-term needs for any kind of project or application and you believe that you will need a certain number of tech personnel to be in your employment at all times, dedicated development teams that are remote are the way to go. This ensures a long-term relationship with the team you are working with which does not cause any hindrance to your business objectives.
Dedicated teams of developers are frequently used by companies like Apple, IBM, Amazon, Oracle, and more.
If you hire a dedicated team of developers via Gaper, you pay an hourly rate for each developer you have hired. That’s it. The management and coordination of the time, as well as the business development aspects of the work, are taken care of on our end. And of course, you do not have to pay for any infrastructure costs (office rents, equipment, bills. etc.)
If you were to hire a full-time software developer in the United States, it might set your already constrained finances back by over $100k (and upto $200k) every year. This does not include the cost of recruiting, testing, or the HR team that will be involved. While your competitors that have a higher capital may be able to bear these costs, you don’t have to do your business on an uneven playing field just because hiring skilled developers is too expensive.
The demand for developers and engineers continues to grow. New and innovative tech continues to surface and standards keep getting raised every year. This trend seems set to continue in the coming years as well. Apart from that, business verticals are now generating demand for skills that are specific to their industry and highly competitive in both the consumer and the labor market. Fintech, cryptocurrency, health-tech, ed-tech have, for example, exhibited such a surge in developer demand recently thanks to global developments and a rise in startups in these industries.
As the cost of running businesses rise and competition becomes more and more fierce, it is imperative that business owners adapt to new means of running businesses rather than sticking to traditional methods that will only make them fritter away their resources. If you need a team of dedicated engineers and developers for your business, give us a call and familiarize yourself with the wonders of dedicated remote teams.
