Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to common questions about our process, pricing, and staff augmentation services.
Offshore typically refers to talent in a different region (e.g. different continent); nearshore is in a nearby time zone. Both are forms of staff augmentation. We help you choose based on cost, time zone overlap, and skills.
We provide communication and time zone playbooks: core overlap hours, async-first docs, standup cadence, and handoff rituals. Our templates help you keep offshore teams aligned and shipping.
We vet talent with technical screening and code review. Once onboarded, our quality and code review guidelines help you maintain standards. Many clients run the same review process for in-house and offshore.
Cost depends on role, seniority, and location. Many clients see 30–40% savings vs local hiring. Our cost guide and ROI calculator help you model your scenario.
