Outsourcing developers for the first time can be nerve-wracking. You need someone who can take responsibility for their work so you’re not stuck managing day to day tasks.
Agencies in the market will ignore culture fit as being trivial, but we know a developer’s work ethic, communication, and team engagement are what truly drive project success.
Most developers focus only on technical requirements, but your business needs someone who can balance technical skills and align with your business vision.
Tech professionals can spot inexperienced developers in a second, but non-tech clients often can't. Be cautious of agencies that present junior developers as seniors.
Some developers focus only on meeting deadlines while neglecting best practices. Long-term, this can result in a poor foundation for your application riddled with errors.
A common outsourcing challenge is hiring developers who lack English proficiency and cultural understanding. This can be a major barrier, causing miscommunication and constant delays.
Bring in experienced developers with industry-specific experience in your business.
So you can have more freedom to focus on your core responsibilities.
See if they understand the objective behind the project.
Are they interested in adding value to your business or just getting their paycheck?
You don't want to hire a developer who leaves you high and dry for a higher paycheck.
Unless this isn’t your first rodeo with outsourcing, it can be a pretty overwhelming process.
Ensure your project manager manages your project with due diligence and gives you honest updates.
