BRINGING UP INTEGRITY: DEDICATED TEAM IN UKRAINE
WHAT IS A "DEDICATED DEVELOPMENT TEAM"?
In recent years in Europe, dedicated development teams have become more and more popular, and almost literally every large modern company has. It is a more than known fact that no trend appears just like that, and to understand why they have become so popular, you just need to look at what trends have contributed to this and what has been happening in the world over the past five years.
The first thing to consider is that not so long ago the whole world was swept by a wave of a pandemic, and most large companies switched to online work, which hit hard on enterprises that did not have time to prepare for such a new format of work. This did not stop or limit many businessmen, on the contrary, it even helped to adapt to new conditions in such a short period of time. After some time of reflection, everything that happened led the business owners to the idea that a person does not have to work in the same country where the main company is located. At first, freelancing was gaining more and more popularity, where a developer, sitting at home from another country, carried out orders from a foreign company, but over time, companies began to hire entire teams of developers who work perfectly together even on other continents.
Secondly, of course, in any business, special attention is paid to the financial component. Here everything is already quite transparent and understandable because maintaining an office in the center of Berlin, Paris or London costs many times more than an office for a dedicated team in Kyiv or, for example, in coastal Odessa. Here I would like to make a small announcement because, in the following articles, we will talk in more detail about the cities of Ukraine, which are making great strides in the field of IT and are very popular with foreign business owners.
THE MAIN DIFFERENCE FROM FREELANCING (DEDICATED TEAM - NOT FREELANCING)
When mentioning a dedicated development team, many immediately draw an analogy with freelancing, but one of the main goals of this article is to prove that freelancing is a completely different direction with narrower prospects for further cooperation with the developer and, although not in all cases, but with less the quality of the output material.
The most, In our opinion, the main difference between a dedicated team and freelancing is that the people hired as freelancers are not your employees, but simply people who are ready to take on this task. You cannot teach them something new, control the work, and, most often, for each new task, you will have to look for a new freelance developer.
All these factors alone make dedicated teams a more desirable prospect for a foreign company when it decides to hire developers from Ukraine. Further in the article, we will analyze in more detail the Ukrainian market itself as a place for the development of a dedicated team, and a huge future perspective when hiring dedicated developers in Ukraine.
GREAT PROSPECTS FOR A DEVELOPING NICHE
Well, I would like to continue with the prospects that always push foreign companies to open similar offices around the world, especially in the territory of Ukraine.
First, as we said earlier, the financial component always determines what is profitable and what is not. Most foreign companies have long considered that opening an office and hiring a dedicated team in Ukraine is much more profitable than maintaining full-time developers in Europe.
Secondly, you can develop your team. These are not "stray" freelancers who leave after completing the task and calculating. A dedicated team, with properly organized work, can work completely autonomously, like an integral organism. Of course, it is quite difficult to control all processes remotely, but, nevertheless, we live in 2023, where people have long come up with different mobile applications and systems for complete control of remote work.
Thirdly, developers recruited into a dedicated team often remain loyal to their company and, with a properly built approach to work, can continue to work with you for many years, raising their qualifications and experience every year. It is also convenient for the business owner because working with already familiar and trusted people is not only productive but also pleasant.
Most often, a dedicated team is set up to work permanently with one company, so it’s worth getting the management right, as well as constantly supporting and developing your remote staff in the future, this will definitely bear fruit.
WHY HIRE A DEDICATED DEVELOPMENT TEAM FROM UKRAINE?
Hiring a dedicated team is always a difficult and responsible process, because the further development of a separate project, and possibly the entire company, depends on it. That is why it is always worth paying attention to even the smallest details because they are the ones that start the process of the whole mechanism, not to mention the choice of the country and where this team will be located. Recently, large companies are increasingly choosing Ukraine as a place to organize a dedicated team, and there are several important reasons for this, which we will discuss in this section.
Undoubtedly, it is worth noting the quality of education of Ukrainian developers. It is this feature that helps them compete with European and American counterparts. But education is not the only advantage of Ukrainian developers, because many foreign companies often note the diligence and desire to develop among many Ukrainians.
As many of our regular readers already know, we often mention value for money in our articles and, albeit in passing, we cannot but mention it here. So, in Ukraine, the prices for office rent, salaries, daily expenses, and so on, are much lower than in Europe or America. That is why foreigners are often surprised by the low cost of starting work in Ukraine, and also note that all costs were more than justified by concrete results.
WHERE CAN YOU FIND YOUR DREAM TEAM? (GO INTERACTIVE TO HELP FOREIGN CUSTOMERS)
In Ukraine, at the moment there are a huge number of companies that are willing to help foreigners find a team that meets all the criteria of the customer, but this business also has its own "pitfalls". Let's discuss many of the nuances in this paragraph, and also talk in more detail about Go Interactive.
Statistics show that when working with Go Interactive, a developer on average cooperates with the company for about 3 years, which indicates a high level of trust. To be honest, you, as a customer, definitely need to understand that in any field it is worth finding a company that you can trust. It is worth noting that the trust and devotion of our company will return to you in a double amount in the form of devotion to you from your future team, which you will acquire. This is a very important factor that also needs to be taken into account because we live in a time when running into unscrupulous people or the same companies is not so difficult. You can read about all these nuances in our previous article " https://gointeractive.co/blog/how-to-find-programmers-in-ukraine", which fully describes all the nuances and mandatory features when selecting a dedicated team in Ukraine.
If we talk about Go Interactive, it is worth noting that the company is engaged not only in the selection of a dedicated team but also in making a ready-made functioning office according to all customer criteria. This is very convenient because after introducing even the slightest criteria to the developers or to the team as a whole, the company will select the most successful options for the order. This approach to your business removes unnecessary care from the customer because he does not need to spend a huge amount of time on various interviews and searches.
THE BOTTOM LINE
In the end, we want to note that people often dislike the remote format of work because of the nuances of the quality and timing of various projects. But you shouldn’t underestimate dedicated teams due to remote work; the developers accepted into the team often remain loyal to the company and work for it for many years, but don’t forget that a dedicated team, especially at the beginning of cooperation, should be paid a lot of attention. So, for example, at the very beginning of work, it is worth keeping many processes under your personal control in order to immediately understand how employees will cope without your participation, as well as improve the skills of each of your developers. Only with the development of their own skills, the developer will be able to do something new or improve the old in your company, which will lead to the growth of the company itself.
One of the main advantages for a foreigner is to find a company that takes a responsible approach to its business and will make every effort to find, or it would probably be more correct to say, create from scratch your first dedicated development team in Ukraine.
Summarizing all of the above, we can summarize that in the modern world, dedicated commands simplify and automate many processes. This is indeed an approach to work that will gain more and more popularity and diversity in different fields every year.
