How to Get More Bang for Your US Dollar with Nearshore Hiring

Hiring the right US-based nearshore software team will help you to minimize the spend and maximize the output, leaving you with more budget to allocate elsewhere.

One lesser-discussed benefit of hiring nearshore developers and designers is that you get more bang for your buck.

Keep in mind that cost-benefit does not mean less output or reduced quality of work, so just make sure you have the right team in place with the right culture.

Here are some of the benefits many of our US-based customers see when working with their nearshore teams:

Nearshore teams provide up to 50% cost-benefit

Compared to salaries in major US cities, you can hire a nearshore engineer for up to 50% of the cost if you hire locally.  Keep in mind that these savings don’t include cost-to-hire, the effort and time spent, or the additional effort if you need to replace a new internal hire.

Minimize spend while maximizing output

Having the right partner to help you source, screen, and recruit the right people will help you create the right team of experts to maximize output while keeping within or under budget.

Quality is not compromised

Optimizing your spending by sourcing in a different economy does not mean that you need to compromise on quality. A dedicated team with the right partner to help you navigate and manage the hiring efforts will ensure you have an A+ team of experts.

Hire a small team instead of a single person

By allocating your budget towards a team instead of hiring a single person locally, you can specialize your team into key areas that will help you produce the best output. For example, one internal engineer will likely get you two engineers plus a quality assurance expert. 

Having a group also means you reduce risk by distributing knowledge. This way, there is no single point of failure, and your team can keep moving forward even if someone is not available.

Access to more talent, the right expertise

Thinking globally and going nearshore means you widen your access to the right experts. For example, if you are open to building a team in Latin America, then you gain access to a wider range of expertise.  Having the right partner to understand the local economies, political landscape to screen and bring you that talent is key.

Reallocate the budget in places where you need it

Perhaps you could use a bit more budget for marketing, sales, or another key area of your business. The cash you free up by using a US-based company to support your hiring nearshore will help you re-allocate resources.

Find the right partner, never compromise on quality. You can build the right team exactly to your needs.
