IT decision-makers often cite the skills and talent gap as their top concerns. Increasingly, businesses rely on software to make their offerings as customer-centric as possible. For this reason, it is impossible to overstate the importance of having top-tier developers.
In North America and Western Europe, talent shortages are incredibly challenging. Recruiting local talent in the West is not only expensive but can also be complicated. Companies must look outside their local area for engineers to innovate and scale quickly. Moving operations to an ODC (Offshore Development Centre) and building an ODC team is a great option.
What does it take to build an ODC team?
Of course, you can go it alone, however, increasingly businesses are partnering with offshore team builders with expertise and knowledge of their chosen offshoring destination. These offshore partners leverage top talent, innovation, quality, and transparency when building their ODC team. With one, your business can quickly access massive talent pools and scale engineering operations. And, your business can hire developers faster, change more dynamically, and scale without the restrictions imposed by skill shortages at home.
It’s key to select the right location for your ODC team. Asia, for instance, is ideal. Countries like India, Singapore, and the Philippines pride themselves on their English education and continuous training in advanced fields such as engineering. As a result, they have become top-tier software development hubs by producing qualified, experienced, and successful software developers.
Pick the right talent for your ODC team
To put together an effective ODC team, it’s important to align it with your operations at home. By doing this, the offshore development centre can potentially function as the core of your product development process. Your ODC team can easily collaborate with the engineers at home to develop innovative solutions when working together. Your organisation can tap into this network to accelerate innovation by working with engineers, data scientists, and business analysts.
Your on-site engineers' processes will be mirrored by your ODC team builder when hiring, aligning, engaging, and running your offshore team. When your recruitment process is effective, you will find excellent candidates who fit your organisation's values and are highly talented.
A good offshoring partner will manage your operations and grow your tech team by giving potential ODC team candidates coding tests, analytical thinking, personality assessments, and multi-stage interviews, ensuring top talent that fits your organisation’s mission and values.
