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!

Andrii Akselrod CTO People.ai

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.

Boris Glants CTO Tonic Health

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.

Dmitrii Iermiichuk Head of Engineering Gotransverse

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.

Elena Leonova Director of Product Management BigСommerce

Alcor’s 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.

Grigoriy Didorenko Research and Development Director BIScience

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.

Kirill Latish Head of Engineering & Communications Velory

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.

Vitalii Belelia Production Management & App Support Manager Ledger

Expanding our engineering team outside the US with Alcor was a game-changer! They found 15 talented developers and provided seamless EOR & operational support. Great responsiveness to our needs!

Alcor’s flexible model helped us scale from 0 to 30 devs in a year first, and then to 50! No buy-out fees, seamless hiring, and top-tier talent. A hassle-free way to grow without setting up a subsidiary!

Neeraj Gupta CTO Pindrop

Alcor helped us hire the top 5% of tech talent while building our employer brand. They were proactive, never compromised on quality, and delivered. Three years later, our hires are still thriving!

Software R&D Center vs IT Outsourcing

Software R&D Center

  1. Silicon Valley-caliber talent We recruit 30+ elite senior developers in 3 months. All decisions regarding the team are up to you.
  2. Transparent pricing Detailed invoices help you be in control of your finances. Plus, your tech R&D team is x2 more affordable than an external one.
  3. Your team & branding You get a tech team with shared values for innovation and growth—90% retention rate & an average tenure of 2.5 years.
  4. No setup & buy-out fees No setup fee is needed to start building your software R&D team. Plus, there is no buy-out process—your team now, free insourcing after.
  5. Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique expertise in-house.

IT Outsourcing

  1. Junior/middle-level talent You can’t control the quality of talent. Plus, with planned moves to new customers after 1 year, your A-players will be snatched away.
  2. High markups Some providers charge up to 50% of talent compensation to earn more without the client knowing about it.
  3. Not your brand & practices Developers work under your provider’s brand. Thus, there’s no room for your corporate culture, policies, and direct oversight.
  4. High setup & buy-out fees Most vendors require contractual & financial obligations first. Then, you pay 20% of a developer’s annual compensation in buy-out fees.
  5. Intellectual property risks IP rights over your product initially belong to developers of your provider. You get minimum security and a tedious transfer process.
