9 proven examples of cost-effectiveness and flexibility in nearshoring <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- No recruitment costs<\/strong>
There\u2019s no need to initiate a number of recruitment processes in order to choose the right candidates, and then devote a few weeks or even months to onboarding. Instead, you go through a single process of selecting one company to work with. Then you can choose your team of specialists (or a few individual experts) that have already been recruited and tested by your IT partner. Plus, in case you need to scale up, your partner can easily expand the team with any required experts, so you don\u2019t have to look for them on your own.
<\/li>- No employment contracts
<\/strong>No employment contracts mean no individual negotiations. There\u2019s just one agreement adapted precisely to your needs and requirements, with a clear pricing model and detailed scope of cooperation. If any changes should occur, and you need to reduce the size of your team, your IT partner can easily handle this for you, by moving some specialists to other projects that they\u2019re running. With in-house specialists, you would be tied to notice periods, and have to bear employment costs for much longer than actually needed.
<\/li>- No additional benefits <\/strong>
You can save money on additional benefits that are often included in employment agreements, like gym subscriptions, free lunches, or the reimbursement of commuting expenses. This is between your nearshoring company and the specialists they hire.
<\/li>- No training sessions<\/strong>
If you decide to hire a software development company, you need to narrow down your choices to only consider organisations that focus on consistently learning and improving their skills. Technology develops rapidly, so you have to be sure they are up to date so that they can discover new possibilities, and even predict new trends. It\u2019s their job, not yours, to ensure that every specialist has access to specific internal and external training sessions, workshops and conferences so that you don\u2019t have to include these costs in your budget. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- No need for additional office space<\/strong>
No matter how much your project and team will grow, you don\u2019t have to rent additional space or move to a bigger office. This is a big advantage of remote cooperation \u2013 a lot of fixed costs are reduced to an absolute minimum. And it goes both ways, as you also don\u2019t have to continue to pay for any unused space if your team gets smaller or once the project has been completed \u2013 which means that you won\u2019t have to worry about expensive rental contracts that still have months to go.
<\/li>- No hardware\/software investments<\/strong>
Computers, smartphones, hosting servers, software licences for developers, designers and managers \u2013 these are all included in the package, so you don\u2019t have to provide your remote team with any expensive tools.
<\/li>- No additional office supplies
<\/strong>This probably isn\u2019t something you think about, but every new employee uses tons of office supplies. Even though some of them are tiny and cheap, like paper clips or sticky notes, when you multiply these costs by the number of people you hire in a certain amount of time, the final sum may painfully surprise you. In a nearshoring model \u2013 these costs drop out. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Processes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- No need to increase the workflow capabilities of your HR department<\/strong>
Imagine hiring only a few or a dozen new employees around the same time. This would involve increasing the workflow capabilities of your HR department as well, which would bring further costs related to reorganisation \u2013 costs that don\u2019t exist when you bet on remote cooperation with an external partner.
<\/li>- No problems with scaling up or down
<\/strong>Scaling up or down in organisations and institutions that operate in somewhat rigid frameworks takes a lot of time, and therefore also money. A company that specialises in nearshoring can offer you a much more agile approach. They have the necessary experience and processes that help them react quickly and flawlessly to your changing needs. It\u2019s not as big of a cost for them as it would be for you, and this flexible attitude comes with the package. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Wrap up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s no doubt that nearshoring is a very effective and flexible\ncooperation model when it comes to costs. And if you have ever considered a\npartnership like this \u2013 now may be the best time for it, since a lot of work\nhas to be done remotely these days anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have to focus on your business growth without getting tied down by fixed costs. Nearshoring may be a great solution in this situation since you can start small, see how it works in practice, and then gradually develop your project. This is also a happy medium between taking investment risk and feeling secure about it. <\/p>\n\n\n
