Hire a Remote Software Development Team: Best Practices

Published

on

How to hire a remote software development team? Is it really worth it? Is it a good idea? If you’re asking any of these questions we got you covered. In this article, we will present the best and proven practices for successfully hiring a remote software development team for your project without any risk.  

Any software project needs a great team. However, not everyone can afford to hire the best developers especially in the United States where development costs are some of the highest in the world. But luckily, there is a solution – hiring an offshore software development company at a low cost. There are many places in the world where software developers are just as talented as in the US yet require much lower salaries (Ukraine, for example).

However, many potential clients worry about safety and risks. After all, when you don’t see developers face-to-face on an everyday basis it seems harder if not impossible to control them. Finally, the legal aspects of the issue are not always clear either.

Practice shows that these worries are all in vain in most cases. The largest tech corporations in the world outsource software development without any problems. So do small and medium entities as well. Therefore, if you do everything correctly and diligently there is nothing to worry about.

But now the question arises – what is “correctly” and “diligently”. That’s exactly what we will cover next. The truth is that 99% of success depends on the development company you choose. If you sign an agreement with the wrong partner, the entire project is doomed to fail.

On the other hand, if you manage to find the right development partner, success is almost guaranteed. So with this being said, let’s talk about the key characteristics of your ideal software development company:

  • Experience
  • Qualifications
  • Testimonials/Reviews

Let’s analyze each of these in detail below.

Experience

Nothing can substitute solid experience. It’s better not to risk working with an inexperienced team even if they offer a very attractive quote. Always work only with those teams which have multiple years of successful experience. Checking experience is easy – just examine their portfolio, legal information about the company and reviews/testimonials.

Qualifications

You definitely want to be sure that developers’ qualifications perfectly match product requirements to a sufficient degree. After all, you don’t want to hire JS developers for a Ruby project, do you? For this reason, a detailed examination of all developers’ qualifications is necessary.

Testimonials/Reviews

It’s not a good idea to hire a team before checking their testimonials and reviews. Therefore, check if the testimonials which the team provides are actually valid. Furthermore, go online and try to find any relevant reviews about the company. It’s even better if you can talk to their past or current clients and ask them about their experience working with the company.

Conclusion

Hiring a remote software development team does not have to be difficult or risky. On the contrary, it can prove a very profitable business idea if implemented correctly. All it takes is finding a reliable and experienced remote software development team with relevant qualifications, positive testimonials & reviews.
