IT Outstaffing vs other staffing models
IT outsourcing
This staffing model allows companies delegate a tech project, fully or partially,
to an external team of developers. While outsourcing and outstaffing both provide skilled talent for software development, there are some key differences. With outsourcing, clients lose control of their projects, hand over team management, communicate with developers only through a middleman, and often face hidden costs from unexpected spending.
Tech recruitment
A standard staffing model that allows tech companies to hire developers in-house without the need for expensive buy-outs, as with IT outstaffing. However, the major obstacle is the long time it takes to hire the right tech talent. To overcome this, itโs crucial to work with hiring agencies that have experienced tech recruiters, a broad candidate network, and profound knowledge of the local market. Another hurdle is managing operational functions like employment contracts, onboarding/offboarding talent, legal compliance, payroll, and hardware procurement. You would have to do them either in-house or outsource to a vendor.
Are there any risks related to conventional software outstaffing in Argentina?
- Rip-off buy-out fees
In most cases, tech companies that hire outstaffing teams for long-term projects are willing to keep them permanently, especially if planning to go public and get investment. However, buying out each team member can cost you a fortune, often reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars for the entire engineering team.
- Motivation & loyalty concerns
Having an outstaffing team doesnโt mean they become your in-house developers. They remain official employees of your vendor, treating your software development just as another project to fulfill. Thus, there is a high chance of experiencing low team motivation and a lack of dedication to your product development, sometimes leading to low-quality products.
- Security threats
Working with an external team of developers can put your sensitive data at risk. Since you inevitably share business ideas, code, and product design with your extended team members, you become vulnerable to IP theft. In addition,
outstaffing teams usually rely on their IT outstaffing companyโs cybersecurity tools, which may fail to resist potential threats and attacks. This adds another layer of risk to your productโs security.
Is there a better solution than IT outstaffing in Argentina?
Your own R&D center is an answer to all challenges and risks that other staffing models have, including IT outstaffing service in Argentina. It combines a whole spectrum of services that allow seamless and hassle-free expansion. You get a fully backed team of loyal developers, 100% compliance with local laws and regulations, monthly payroll and hardware management. You can elevate it to an R&D center by using an office rental service and getting additional operational support.
Software Development Outstaffing vs Your Own R&D Center
Software R&D Center
- Maximized savings Your own development team plus office costs 40% cheaper. Because you hire and get no buy-out fees & markups.
- Dev team like an in-house one Build a development team in one location, whether LATAM or EE, and reap the benefits of instant communication and productive teamwork.
- Own branded office & rules Upon request, you can get your own physical office for ideation, innovation, and growthโwithout intermediaries.
- Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique expertise in-house.
- Easy investment attraction Establishing your R&D center with a dedicated team will enhance your appeal to investors.
IT Outstaffing
- Hefty buy-out fees If you like to keep the entire tech team for further cooperation, buckle up for sky-high buy-out costs. Securing just one programmer can cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
- Hurdles in team coordination Establishing effective communication and keeping cohesion among globally dispersed external programmers is not a walk in the park. It often results in delays, missed deadlines, and possibly low-quality products.
- No corporate culture & employer branding An extended team of developers works under your outstaffing partnerโs brand. Thus, no room for your corporate culture and policies is left.
- Shared intellectual property You share your IP with developers that come and go to other projects. As a result, the source code is never between you & the team only.
- Not investment material Itโs tough to get investments if you delegate your unique product creation to software developers who are not your in-house team.

Companies Scaling with Alcor
Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!
With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.
We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.
We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.
Alcorโs R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.
I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.
Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.
Alcor closed our 4 QA positions in a month and more than doubled the team in a year! We chose Alcor because of their communication style, cost, scope of services, and ideas to help us be successful.
FAQ
1) What are the top emerging IT outstaffing markets?
Eastern Europe has long been a top pick among international tech companies due to its enormous talent pool of over 1.5 skilled software developers, affordable salaries, well-established infrastructure, and business-friendly environment. Among the leading tech powerhouses are Poland, Romania, Ukraine, and Bulgaria, which already host R&D teams of tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, CISCO, Oracle, IBM, etc.
However, LATAM is emerging as a go-to option if we talk about nearshoring opportunities for American tech companies. Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile are the leading staffing locations, offering access to about 1.75 million qualified tech gems with up to 55% lower developer rates, convenient location, and time zone alignmentโthe pros no other region can compete with.
2) What is the difference between IT Outstaffing vs IT Outsourcing?
IT outsourcing and outstaffing in Argentina are pretty similarโboth oriented on providing software development services on a project basis. The critical difference is control. In IT outsourcing, businesses delegate the entire project to the vendor, meaning no control over the team and development process but rather communication via a middleman. In contrast, the tech outstaffing model allows tech companies to retain much of the decision-making over the project and manage the engineering team. However, the developers are still officially employed by the outstaffing vendor. Outstaffing software development in Argentina is more flexible regarding team scaling, adjusting project requirements and budgeting.ย
3) What are the legal software outstaffing terms? Will I get compliance support from Alcor?
After signing a contract, a client gets a team of developers required to perform the stipulated work. The outstaffing vendors bear responsibility for hiring talent, providing them with necessary hardware, equipment, and office space if needed, and managing payroll and HR functions.ย
Itโs essential to note that traditional IT outstaffing agencies donโt provide legal support to their clients. Alcor, on the other hand, offers a broad array of legal and compliance services, including drafting and reviewing contracts (SLAs and NDAs), ensuring compliance with US and international labor laws and regulations, office lease negotiations, visa support, M&A assistance, etc.
4) Can you provide a turnkey outstaffing?
Yes, and even more! We offer an advanced 360ยฐ R&D center solution for product tech companies. It includes tech recruitment, Employer of Record, and operational servicesโeverything in one place to build your team of Valley-caliber talent in LATAM or EE. Unlike traditional IT staffing models, our solution will free you from costly buy-out fees, indirect management of the tech team and development process, risks associated with IP rights breaching, and struggles of getting investment for your product.
5) What are the benefits of IT outstaffing within the software development center model?
With Alcorโs R&D center model, youโll benefit from the Employer of Record service, which frees you from establishing a legal entity abroad and covers talent onboarding and offboarding, monthly payroll, compliance, and benefits management. Plus, Alcorโs team of 40 recruiters ensures top-tier tech hiring, filling roles in just 2-6 weeks, with 98.6% of hires passing probation with flying colors. By building your development team, you’ll sidestep buy-out fees, indirect management, and hidden costs. And the icing on the cake is operational support like office leasing and hardware procurement to make your expansion journey as smooth as possible.ย
