Software developers are the most sought after profiles on the job market and recruiting the right person requires an investment of time and means and even more when this type of profile is unfamiliar to the organization. 

Use offshore company is to delegate to a IT specialist all the steps to achieve, at a lower cost, the desired IT product.

• Project pitch : it analyzes the need of the company and helps to clarify its demand .

Selection and recruitment of technical profiles : it selects the relevant profiles that will be able to achieve the IT solution in the technology (s) chosen. 

• Composition of the project team : different profiles make up the project team: Developer, Lead Developer and Product Owner. 
• Submission of the project team to the client : the company is aware of this proposal and can interview if she wishes, the proposed team members to challenge them and make sure they match what she is looking for. 
• Starting the IT project : If the team agrees, the company can start its IT project with its dedicated team managed remotely .
