As a chief technology officer or someone in charge of driving innovations for your tech company, you face a lot of pressure to bring your team to the top spot in your industry. 

This entails hiring A-player developers while also managing budget and deadline constraints. Hiring in-house used to be the only option, but today's leaders embrace the global workforce and look for top talent anywhere.

Some companies have had success with offshoring. Offshoring means hiring remote work staff overseas. The most popular partner for offshoring is India.

The advantages of offshoring are cost-savings for IT Developers and the ability to ramp up development projects quickly. The disadvantages, however, often outweigh the advantages. 

Paying people with overseas banks incurs more fees and can lead to an administrative hassle. Time zone differences become a roadblock to getting the work done.

Further, communication issues are rampant since, beyond language, there are significant cultural differences. Dealing with breaches or legal actions in worst-case scenarios with offshore countries can be catastrophic.  

Why Nearshoring Is The Better Solution For Growing Your Tech Team

Nearshoring is similar to offshoring when hiring a remote team from a different country. But that's where the similarities end. Nearshoring essentially means hiring remote workers in a country near the United States.

Let's go through some of the major advantages that nearshoring offers: 

Why Nearshoring Is The Smart Way Of Hiring

Advantage What this means for you
Time Zone Alignment Same or similar time zones, ensuring better collaboration You can work in real-time with your team, avoiding delays

One of the things that’s great about working with us is the waiting period, which is days, not weeks. You submit your requirements regarding candidates, and we start working for you. 

In essence, this is only the real work you have to do in the process: making sure you’re 100% certain what you need to outsource and what you need in-house. The more specific in this regard, the better we can go out and find the candidates you need to elevate the performance of your tech team. 

But that’s not all. Our customer support team doesn’t just act as an intermediary; they also act as your strategic partner. They’ll even help you clarify your needs and roles that would be a great fit if you’re unsure. 

That’s because we want to make sure the candidates we source become long-term assets for your organization, not just a fit on paper. That’s because we want to be a trusted partner you can rely on when you want to grow and scale while you focus on pushing innovations in your company.

The best part is all this happens while you’re tackling your day-to-day responsibilities. Our team works tirelessly behind the scenes, vetting candidates not just for technical expertise but also for their cultural fit, communication skills, and adaptability. 

We don’t just send you resumes; we present you with a short list of carefully vetted candidates, saving you hours of sifting through applicants yourself. And if none of the candidates meet your expectations, we’ll continue searching until you’re completely satisfied.

Throughout this process, we keep you informed, providing timely updates so you’re never left wondering about progress. This transparency sets us apart, allowing you to remain confident that your team is growing with the best talent while you stay focused on innovation and leadership.

What’s great is you don’t have to wait weeks or months for the right candidates to join your team. We utilize a proprietary AI algorithm that matches you with the right candidates in real time. This accelerates the process and ensures you stay ahead of your competition. 

By the time you’ve reviewed your top candidates, you’ll be ready to move forward quickly and confidently, knowing you’re bringing in the right person to elevate your team. This means less downtime, less stress, and more time for you to push your key projects forward.

Step #3: We Set Up Pre-Vetting Interviews With Matching Candidates To Check Language, Test Technical Skills, Evaluate Soft Skills, and Determine Cultural Fit

We assess their language proficiency to ensure smooth communication, rigorously test their technical skills to make sure they can perform at the highest level, and evaluate their soft skills—like problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability. 

We also take cultural fit into account, making sure the candidate aligns with your company’s values and work environment. Only the best candidates make it through this rigorous process and are presented to you. 

You can trust that each candidate we recommend is ready to make a meaningful contribution to your team from day one, leaving you with the peace of mind that you’ve hired the best of the best.

Step #4: We Arrange Candidate Interviews With Our Partner Companies’ Hiring Managers

This is where you get to meet the potential new members of your team, assess their fit firsthand, and ask any specific questions related to your projects or team dynamics.

We ensure the interview process is seamless by handling all scheduling and coordination so you can focus on evaluating the best talent without worrying about logistics. 

We present as many candidates as you need until you're completely satisfied with your final choice. Our goal is to ensure you’re confident that you’ve found the perfect fit to help drive your team’s success.

By the time the interview process is done, you’ll have a clear understanding of who will make a lasting impact on your organization and be ready to hit the ground running from day one.

Step #5: We Act As Employer Of Record For All Talent

We are responsible for the entire employment process—handling contracts, payroll, taxes, compliance, and performance reviews. This means we take on all the legal and administrative burdens associated with hiring, so you don’t have to worry about it. 

You get all the benefits of expanding your team without the headaches of managing employee paperwork or navigating international labor laws. 

You can focus entirely on pushing your projects forward while we ensure that your new team members are not only legally compliant but also motivated and supported to perform at their best.
