What does an offshore development partner do?

They take care of –

• the recruitment process
• payroll
• taxation
• local registrations
• legalities
• acquiring a dedicated office space
• onboarding the employees
• employing dedicated HRs
• hiring of the administrative staff to take care of the day-to-day duties

Does that mean your offshore partner is simply a recruitment or HR company?

Your offshore partner is definitely more than just a recruitment or HR company – if you pick the right partner. Unfortunately, there are plenty of businesses that call themselves “offshore development specialists” but in fact, offer outsourcing. The key is to understand the difference between the two.

Offshoring is when you build a dedicated software development team (complete with office space, administration, and management) in another country. You own the team entirely, and they’re fully integrated into your business, but your offshore development partner manages the administration and operations. On the other hand, outsourcing is hiring contract engineers or freelancers that are called in when required, to cover a lack of capacity temporarily. Outsourcing is typically done by recruitment agencies or HR companies while offshoring isn’t.

The other reason is that extending a company into another country, with a totally different social and work culture, takes expertise. It requires the skill set of a team that understands the talent pool of that country and your specific requirements to tailor a recruitment process that can work for your business. For instance, our founder Emilien worked in India for years before truly understanding how to bridge Western and Eastern workforces.

What does the right offshoring partner look like?

Firstly, the right offshore partner will start by identifying your needs and requirements – what do you want to gain from offshoring? What are the specific goals, metrics, and growth targets that you wish to achieve? Once they’ve understood this, they would then go over the finer details – the team size you’re looking for, skills, and other information that you think are relevant. The company will then proceed to draft a proposal outlining the next steps.
