Do you know? In Silicon Valley, best software developers are paid in tens of millions of dollars. Hiring an in-house development team for your project could cost you fortunes. But fortunately, you have got an alternative – hire dedicated developers & programmers. But is it the right option for your business? How will you manage them effectively? In this blog, we will tell you 5 things that no one told you about hiring a dedicated offshore team.
Technology is moving too fast. To launch a new software product, be it a web application or mobile app, you need experienced developers by your side. According to BusinessInsider, when Facebook acquired Instagram for $1billion, it had only 13 employees, but great ones. This reflects how important it is to have an expert development team who knows the ins and outs of new technologies and helps you create a multi-billion dollar company like Instagram.
A skilled and talented developer will ask you at least a six-figure salary, and you need 2-3 front-end and back-end developers to work on your project. Don’t forget about experienced designers! Because you need them too for UX and UI designing. So to compete in this business world cost-effectively, you can possibly hire dedicated experienced developers.
Whether you are planning to launch a web app for your business operations, a start-up that wants to leverage mobile technology or a small brick-and-mortar business looking to go online, here are the things that you should know while hiring a dedicated development team:

There are three engagement models from which you can choose the one that best suits your budget and needs. An engagement model shapes the working relationship between you and your dedicated team and ultimately affects your total project cost. Every model has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you need to do a thorough analysis before opting for the right one for your business.
You have to pay a fixed price for your project, from development, designing, testing to launching and post-development support, everything is included in the fixed price that you will pay in phases. If you are opting for this model, do make sure you know each and every little detail and requirement for your project. Nothing can be changed later on as it will add on to your costs.
This model is gaining momentum in today’s rapidly evolving tech world. In this model, you work with a dedicated team for a few months and years and pay only for the time they spend on your project. Your dedicated team works iteratively, depending on your priorities. You get a functioning product after each interation. You can change requirements at any phase, but be flexible about your budget.
This is probably the safest route for most companies looking to hire dedicated developers and programmers. It is like renting developers on an hourly basis. They work as your own employees. You gain a complete control over every aspect of your product development.
