    Why big tech offshores web development

    Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have expanded into Latin America and Eastern Europe. This trend is global: in 2022, 65% of US tech companies outsourced their operations to EE, while 2023 saw US businesses increase their hiring in LATAM by 50%. Offshoring tech development saves the day, and here is why:

    • Deficit of US talent to meet the demand. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a shortage of 1.2 million software developers by 2026. With demand rising, 87% of tech executives see the talent gap as their top challenge for pursuing innovation.
    • Mounting expenses to hire US programmers. Between January 2018 and January 2024, the median base pay for software developers in the U.S. rose by 24%. Costs climb with expertise: hiring a tech C-level runs $238,000 to $288,000 annually.

    Big tech choose Latin America and Eastern Europe because of:

    • Abundant talent. LATAM 1.75 million (Mexican pool exceeding 700K talents) and EE 1.7 million offshore tech developers potentially address the US talent gap.ย 
    • Affordable costs. Hiring and retaining an tech professional includes annual salaries, recruitment fees, payroll & tax, and benefits. In the United States, software engineers cost tech companies $131,000 to $186,000 annually, while in LATAM and Eastern Europe, average costs are $50,000 to $91,000 and $57,000 to $112,000, respectively. This difference alone cuts expenses by 1.8 to 2.2 timesโ€”and with reduced tax burdens in these regions, savings increase even further.
    • Acknowledged tech expertise. The most in-demand global spheres are cybersecurity, AI and machine learning, and data science. Latin American and Eastern European offshore tech programmers rank in Courseraโ€™s top for these skills.

    Top countries to offshore web development

    Letโ€™s take a closer look at the most prominentย offshore tech developmentย players in Latin America and Eastern Europe.

    Inย LATAM:

    • Mexicoย boasts the 2nd largest talent pool and proudly sits at 3rd place in UNESCOโ€™s AI Readiness Index, thanks to its government and Microsoft funding AI training for 5 million programmers.
    • Argentinaย is a haven for fintech and e-commerce startups and is #1 in the region for English proficiency.
    • Colombiaโ€™s JavaScript dominance undeniably solidifies its spot in the top 5 for fintech, e-commerce, and cloud.
    • Chileย comes in 1st for digital skills, drives AI, cloud, and insurtech, and has the 3rd largest regional IT workforce.

    Inย Eastern Europe:

    • Polandย leads with the largest talent pool ofย offshore tech developersย and Europeโ€™s 7th most prominent tech market.
    • Ukraineย comes in 5th for tech skills, constantly pushing the envelope in DefenseTech and MedTech.
    • Romaniaย shines with its $21-billion ICT market and the 6th highest number of certified developers per 1,000 inhabitants globally.
    • Bulgariaย excels in AI and cybersecurity, drawing attention with its competitive 10% personal and corporate income taxโ€”the lowest in the region.

    Your offshore Web development center

    Alcorโ€™sย development center with Web-based expertiseย is a blend of three: tech recruitment, Employer of Record, and full operational support.

    Tech recruitmentย builds you a team of top-10% software engineers in the market. Thanks to our 253K+ database of pre-vetted candidates and 40 expert recruiters, it takes only 8ย CVs for one accepted offer and 2-6 weeks to gather a team of 5 Silicon Valley-caliberย offshore tech programmers.

    Employer of Recordย removes the hassle of managing HR, payroll, and legal compliance on your own. Thereโ€™s more: you donโ€™t need to open a legal entity when expanding abroad. Instead, we at Alcorย hire offshore tech developers,ย and you enjoy a top-tier in-house team.

    Full operational supportย provides you with a full-fledged offshore tech development office overseas. Office rent, equipment procurement, insurance provision, and IT supportโ€”all taken care of!

    Comparison with alternatives

    In offshore web development outsourcing or outstaffing, you get junior or middle-level talent, low loyalty, communication via a third party, and exorbitant fees. Alternatively, you can build an offshore software development team for website development on your own, but conquering a local market with legal and tax differences is no mean feat.

    Alcor steps in with expert knowledge in offshore business expansion. Instead of leaving you high and dry in an unfamiliar market, we navigate the complexities of tech recruitment, taxation, and legislation for you. Add in Employer of Record services and full operational support, and an offshore tech development team is at your disposal without opening a legal entity.

    Alcorโ€™s software R&D center is an all-in-one solution to expand into Latin America or Eastern Europe and access top-10% tech talent at a fraction of the cost. Itโ€™s long-term, scalable, under your control, and without markups unlike vendorโ€™s offshore web development services.

    Own R&D Center vs Offshore Web Development

    Software Development Center

    1. Maximized cost savings Your own software R&D team costs 40% less than an outsourced team. Because you get no buy-out fees & markups.
    2. Long-term commitment Product development and a sense of ownership attract professional developers as bees to honey. Hence, more loyalty.
    3. Direct control over development You get your team of offshore Web developers for ideation, innovation, and growthโ€”without intermediaries.
    4. Intellectual property under control With direct agreements, you fully own your product and its source code, keeping unique engineering expertise in-house.
    5. Easy investment attraction Establishing your own R&D center with a dedicated team will enhance your appeal to investors.

    Offshoring Web development

    1. Cloudy pricing With outsourcers, the markup for your vendorโ€™s service might exceed a Web developerโ€™s salary by 50%.
    2. Temporary fix Offshore development teams are loyal as long as the contract lasts and wonโ€™t go the extra mile to ensure your productโ€™s long-term success.
    3. Your provider comes first An external Web development team will report only to your vendor, treating you as the โ€œsecondaryโ€ employer.
    4. IP rights transfer complexities When you engage a offshore development service company, the IP rights of your product initially belong to the outsourcing team. So think ahead about the safe transferring of them to you later.
    5. Barrier to investment attraction Engaging with a offshore development partner means that you delegate your core competencies to developers who will leave your team for good. Not exactly the investorโ€™s dream.

    FAQ

    1. Is it cheaper to offshore web development?

    Yes, and with Alcor, you can save up to 60% while scaling your company at the same time. Hereโ€™s what makes it possible: the difference in salaries & taxes and the 360-degree Alcorโ€™s dedicated offshore web development center model.

    In the United States, a senior software developer earns up to $120,000 a year, while Latin American and Eastern European software engineering experts make $55,500 and $70,000, respectively. The regional taxation policies also offer tax reduction and business incentives. Lastly, Alcorโ€™s approach goes beyond finding developers. We get you a team thatโ€™s yours from day oneโ€”cut costs by not paying buy-out fees typically charged by offshore custom web development vendors.

    2. What are the benefits of building an offshore web development center with Alcor?

    Alcor is not just a regular provider of remote offshore web developers. Weโ€™re much more: your tech recruitment and EOR in one place!

All that comes with the guarantee to hire from 0 to 100 programmers in a year and a 3-month warranty for free candidate substitution. Worried weโ€™d miss the deadlines? We hire free of charge in that case!

    3. How fast can Alcor build an offshore Web development company?ย

Then, we promise 5 offshore web programmers for hire within a month and 100 within a year.

To speed the hiring process up, our team will also promote your employer brand locally, ensuring you stand out in the market.

    5. Can you headhunt C-level management?

    Thatโ€™s an ace up our sleeve. Weโ€™ve amassed 8 years of experience on the tech market and have access to an internal network of hundreds of thousands of candidates! Thatโ€™s why, C-level management positions, such as CTO, CIO, CMO, CFO, and others, come to our recruiters as easy as pie. Our clients attest to it: we hired the Head of R&D for Sift, an online fraud detectionย application development firm, from the second CV. Other successful cases include the Director of Engineering for Dotmatics and the Deployment Lead for Ledger.

    6. What about payroll, accounting, and office lease?

    If you hire offshore Web developers with Alcor, thereโ€™s no need to establish your legal entity in a target location. With our comprehensive EoR support, we take care of all the nuts and bolts for your offshore Web development team.

    7. What else does Alcorโ€™s offshore web development center include?

    On top of an R&D office with full operational support at its highest? Depends on your request!

    Let us tell you about Dotmatics, a US scientific software company with a goal to hire offshore web developers, 30+ within a year. The tech stack varied: Node.js, Java, React, JavaScript, AWS, Cypress. We filled most roles with the 1st candidate, and not only thatโ€”we presented such a top-tier Back-End Developer that he joined the team as a Full Stack Java Engineer. Result? 30 skilled devs in a fully compliant R&D with back-office support in a year!

    Bonus: we even help devise stock option plans for your new employees, just as we did for ThredUP and Sift.

    Alcor shines bright among other offshore Web development providers, and our clients confirm that: in 2023, we got 100% client retention rate. Coming from industries like cryptocurrency, online fraud detection, machine learning software, etc., they agree on one thing โ€” Alcorโ€™s service is wow. Weโ€™ve worked with Sift, Ledger, People.ai, Tonic Health, and counting. Youโ€™re welcome to join!

    8. Do you provide the off shelf solution or offshore custom web development?

    Alcor is not an outsourcing agency to provide offshore web development servicesโ€”weโ€™re an outsourcing killer. We build fully-backed dedicated software development teams for tech companies so they could take their website development to the next level.ย 

    NO hefty buyouts, overspending on high setup and administrative fees, indifferent devs, middlemen in team management, and IP risks. Youโ€™re the only one in the driverโ€™s seat, managing everything from A to Zโ€”your remote team, development, and expensesโ€”while we handle all operational, including hiring, EOR, and back-office functions with our software R&D center solution.
