Is It Better to Hire a Freelancer or Outsourcing Company?

Though outsourcing may be a familiar concept to many businesses, it is not always appreciated for its total benefits.

After all, smaller companies regularly outsource accounting, payroll processing, distribution and other processes, but when it comes to software engineering, they typically turn to freelance developers.

So what then are the pros and cons of working with freelancers? Truth be told, beyond convenience, relying on freelancers is far from an ideal arrangement.

When it comes to complex projects especially, it can often lead to accumulating convoluted code as well as runaway technical debt.

By contrast, companies looking to hire a software developer will find that a dedicated team of offshore providers ensures cohesion and continuity at all times, whilst maintaining the high quality of their software projects.

What are the Benefits of Hiring a Dedicated Developer?

A dedicated team model is an excellent resource solution when you require additional software development professionals for at least a month and prefer hiring them temporarily rather than as permanent employees. This model may also include a dedicated project manager to improve communication between your team and the outsourced developers who typically work from the service provider’s office.

There are several benefits should you choose to hire a dedicated developer. First, it’s an ideal choice when you lack specific in-house software development expertise, ensuring your project receives specialised skills. Additionally, this approach is valuable when you cannot find suitable local developers in time to meet critical deadlines. Moreover, if your business is experiencing growth and demands extra software developers, the dedicated model allows for flexible scaling. Finally, it helps minimise internal operational costs and save money as you can bring in expertise as needed without the commitment of permanent employment.

Hiring a dedicated developer offers a range of valuable benefits. You gain access to certified, experienced engineers ready to tackle your projects, ensuring a secure web development environment. Its flexibility makes it especially appealing by adapting to your needs, resulting in a more cost-effective resource and a quicker hiring process. You’ll benefit from daily reporting and direct control over your remote team, enhancing transparency. The presence of robust online project management tools further streamlines the process. Additionally, direct communication with your dedicated developers fosters a collaborative working environment. Hiring a dedicated developer boosts productivity and efficiency.
