Introducing: ‘Building global development teams’ eBook
Today, businesses across the globe invest a massive amount of time, effort, and capital, to stay at the very top of their game. However, with the tech industry becoming more saturated, building a stellar development team and standing out from the crowd has become increasingly challenging. And, one of the primary contributing factors here is the acute shortage of local talent, especially in the West.
The competition for recruiting the right talent is fierce and expensive, and most companies are left with less– skilled or less motivated developers than they’d hoped for. The result? Businesses struggle to create powerful, innovative, and relevant software solutions.
But it’s 2020, and the rat race for local talent is no longer the only option. Today, more and more businesses are turning towards the concept of building global development teams — teams of elite engineers that enable them to innovate at speed and scale fast.
How to beat local skill shortages and set up your development centre abroad

A recent study conducted by Deloitte in the US showed that by 2028, the acute talent shortage would lead to a potential loss of over €384 billion in economic output. Meanwhile, another report stated that the IT industry in the UK would need around 186,000 skilled recruits every year until 2024 to combat the talent shortage.
The reality is clear — businesses just aren’t able to find the talent that they need, and they’re paying a heavy price for it. And it’s not just about salaries either. The cost of setting up an office space in big cities like Paris or London can be sky-high too.
While offering higher salary packages to attract talent or investing in state-of-the-art technology may seem like reasonable solutions, they just aren’t enough anymore. And that’s why it’s time for businesses to look elsewhere.
However, ‘elsewhere’ can mean anything. Outsourcing, nearshoring, offshoring — they’re all different models that have risen in response to the shortage of skilled engineers. However, the key here is to build a dedicated development team that adds extra value to your organisation in the long term.
Sneak peek
In ‘Building Global Development Teams’, we focus on one fundamental principle — leveraging world-class talent. We also discuss in depth the different models to augment your team, the best destinations to find elite engineers and the tangible benefits of offshore engineering.
Bringing your vision to life
When building a global development team, it’s crucial to engage with the right partner.
Though the process may be relatively simple, there’s still a lot of work behind the scenes. You have to set up a business entity in a foreign land, find and set up a workspace, recruit the best engineers, handle all the administrative duties and daily tasks, all from your local office. Also, building a team in another location, probably with a different culture and background, takes expertise.
The right partner will take care of all that for you. They’ll have an entire team on the ground that will dedicatedly work on building your offshore workforce. And that’s why, in ‘Building Global Development Teams’, we’ve made a consolidated checklist of all the parameters you need to tick off before you sign on the dotted line and start putting together your dream team.
