To define a successful, working idea is not an easy task. However, to find applications developers who would realize the idea in its optimal form, in accordance with the needs of the audience and the opportunities for monetization and profit, is even more difficult. Thus, research from Evans Data Corporation shows that more than 23 million people are involved in the IT sector worldwide. Obviously, not all contractors can boast of perfect cases and positive customer reviews. Below you will find how not to make a mistake when choosing a developer of a mobile or web application.
Before looking for a developer, answer a few questions for yourself:
1. What business task do you face?
There are three options for hiring a developer for the application. In the first case, it is required to expand the team with a large number of specialists - full-time, freelancers or outstaff (renting an employee from another company for a certain period). To implement new technology, you can train your own employees, hire other third-party or outstaffing specialists. Creation of a startup or enterprise from scratch is realized through outsourcing.
2. Outsourcing or in-house team?
Hiring employees has a number of advantages: understanding the product features, deep immersion in processes, quick response to requests. Among the disadvantages are the need to pay full wages, equipping jobs, geo-referencing, no guarantee of high speed, management and overhead costs. At the same time, outsourcing has become almost a business routine today:
The nuance of outsourcing lies in the difficulties of communication, which is associated with different time zones in which employees live, etc. For example, if an offshoring development team is from Ukraine, the difference with the head office of a customer from Washington is 7 hours.
3. Which is better: hiring a freelancer or working with a company?
Managing freelancers is not easy and risky, and that's a fact. There is also a high probability that the contractor will not meet the deadlines, and due to the absence of a manager or technical director, the processes will not go according to plan. Whereas agencies provide a full range of services and work according to a certain methodology. But the most important thing is that trusted companies communicate effectively within the team, fixing the problems encountered and ways to solve them, so the backend of such a performer includes solving complexity.
