A dedicated software engineering team is an engagement model in which an external team of developers, QA engineers, project managers, and other specialists is assembled through a dedicated software development company. Dedicated teams work exclusively on your project and act as an extension of your in-house development team. You control the development process and priorities, whereas a vendor manages recruiting, onboarding, HR, payroll, and retention.
You define the required dedicated team structure, the seniority levels of offshore developers, and the technology stack. Then you cooperate with a third-party vendor that will hire a dedicated software development team and manage everything from screening to HR. Dedicated software engineers integrate seamlessly into your workflows, and you manage all work.
You should hire a software development team when:
- You want to accelerate development cycles and scale your development capacity.
- Your business operates in regulated industries requiring EU-based talent.
- You need a long-term development team to work on your large-scale project.
- You want full control over who’s on your team.
- You have multiple skill gaps that should be filled fast.
- Your current team setup or engagement model requires a major overhaul.
