It’s better to hire offshore than establish a team inhouse

The rise of the COVID-19 pandemic saw drastic changes made to work cultures across the globe. Teams, both small and large, when forced to work from home, realized that not only can they accomplish the same tasks remotely but also do it more efficiently. At the same time, company administrations discovered that the unnecessarily large costs of having employees work on-site can easily be avoided by having them do the same work remotely.

This mindset paved way for another question: if employees can work from home, why can’t those employees be in another country, doing the same work? And thus, the offshore service industry saw an exponential rise in clients seeking a wide range of services including design, web and mobile development, digital marketing, lead generation, and offshore expansion.

From start ups to large-scale corporations, companies of all sizes understood and experienced the vast range of advantages offered by employing people offshore. The first of which is competitive pricing. Countries like Pakistan and India are uniquely positioned to provide high-quality talent at less than half the price that the same talent would demand in North America or Europe. The tech industry in these countries in particular is renowned for producing exceptional individuals who are at par with their counterparts in the West, and owing to the socio-economic conditions of their native countries, cost remarkably less.

This surge in demand for offshore hiring and expansion also allowed the companies offering such individuals, a chance to introspect. Emerging names in software development such as Gigalabs invested considerable resources into ensuring that they followed the philosophy of complete transparency and exceptional turnaround time. This practice was intended to communicate the message that the work being done in South Asia is as good as that done in Silicon Valley.

Furthermore, companies offering offshore talent ensure round-the-clock visibility and prompt availability of the resources that a client hires. Work schedules of these individuals are customizable according to the client’s needs. These measures are specifically designed to bridge any gap that exists between an inhouse and an offshore team.

As is the custom with any good quality service provision, companies like Gigalabs offer a 30-day post-delivery warranty. Which means that after the project is completed and tested to your satisfaction, you have 30 days of complimentary support from some of the best software engineers in Pakistan.

The tech industry of Pakistan is a thriving sector of the country’s economy. Filled with amazing talent that is dedicated to raising the country’s IT exports exponentially, it offers a great opportunity to tech entrepreneurs all over the world.
