Bad engineers are costly - very costly Being a software dev for 15 years now I can tell you 1 tip If your startup budget is below 7 figures then you should think twice about the decision to hire software engineers. When creating a startup MVP or developing a new project that won’t take years to develop - there are many drawbacks of hiring in-house — long hiring process — expensive IT recruiter fees — each engineer mistake will cost you a big % of the budget (more hrs = more $) That's where IT on contract comes in place. Benefits of working with b2b IT on a contract: — experienced developers, less engineering mistakes — contracts that take responsibility for results, engineering mistakes that don’t cost you a fortune — work on demand instead of paying payroll each month Planning a new software project? Undecided about which option is right for you? -> Lets have a chat about it, DM me "Startup" #outsourcing #softwareengineering #mvpdevelopment

CTOs and CEOs from scaling startups reply to our emails and approaches with a simple question: "How much does it cost to hire a software engineer in Brazil? We want to know before continuing" And the answer is very simple, but no one likes it: It depends. Wanna know what it depends on? At the end, I will show how we will reply to them. - It depends on the technical experience of the candidate; - It depends on the current job market dynamic (in 2021/2022 for instance tech salaries were higher due to offer/demand); - It depends on the technical stack companies are using; - It depends on the previous salary of the developer; - It depends on how YOUR company might grow and how well you sell your vision for the future; - It depends if the software developer already works internationally or if he/she is looking for the first opportunity; - It depends if they were laid off in the past and are looking for security; - It depends on the goals the software engineer might have in the future; - It depends if you're hiring for potential, speed, knowledge; Our answer is: "What is your budget and priority?"

How?? - The BOT model (Build // Operate // Transfer). A plug and play, fractional service offering. Getting better folks, for less money to hit those key milestones.

Raised capital? Want to scale fast? Don’t hire in-house devs first! Here's why: When scaling up, your initial hires are critical, and they shouldn’t be in-house developers. Here’s the game plan: 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲:  Visionaries to steer the ship and define your product’s direction. 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸:  Scale quickly without the full-time overhead, tapping into diverse talent pools. 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻:  With a clear vision and processes, then recruit your in-house CTO and tech talent. Get that product vision nailed first. Have an experienced product person help you focus on key metrics. In house devs won't move the needle in that regard. Build smart, scale right. #StartupGrowth #ScalingUp #TechLeadership #ProductDevelopment

Before you hire your dedicated software development team for a startup, make sure you don’t make the most often mistakes made by others: • Your vision about what kind of software developers you need needs to be clearer. Before searching for a dedicated development team, define your project requirements first. You have to describe every phase of your project to avoid ending up with colossal time and money waste. • You need to figure out where to look for the right people. The most important thing while looking for software developers is to avoid trusting an inexperienced software company with a dedicated development team who may only have fundamental development knowledge. It may cause a significant financial loss for you. • You need to learn how to hire a dedicated development team for a startup. You have to find a trustworthy source for hiring to avoid trouble. If the hiring process goes in the wrong direction, it can be more time-consuming and increase the risk of missing requirements.
