Offshore Software Development in Ukraine

1) Is it cheaper to offshore software development to Ukraine?

Yes, with offshoring software development to Ukraine, you can save from 30% to 70% on development rates, while scaling your company at the same time. Here’s what makes it possible: the difference in salaries and taxes, and Alcor’s comprehensive, all-in-one software R&D center solution, without buy-out fees that companies face after working with offshore development services teams in Ukraine.

In the US, a senior software developer earns up to $180,000 a year, while software engineering experts from Latin America make, on average, $63,000. The regional taxation policies also offer lower tax rates.

Lastly, our approach goes beyond finding software developers. We get you a software team that’s yours from day one — cut costs by not paying buy-out fees!

2) What are the benefits of building a development center with Alcor?

With Alcor’s 360-degree model, there’s no need to engage with multiple offshore software development companies in Ukraine to establish your R&D office offshore or nearshore. In one place, without additional vendors, you receive comprehensive IT recruitment services alongside effective Employer of Record support, eliminating the need to establish a legal entity in the target location. Additionally, we assist in leasing office space, providing employee benefits, procuring laptops and other equipment for your team, and much more. So much more than the providers of offshore outsourcing software development teams in Ukraine can offer.

3) How fast can Alcor build an offshore development team in Ukraine? 

We pride ourselves on expeditious tech recruitment — stellar quality within tight timeframes. Alcor’s average time to close a vacancy when hiring a developer is 2-6 weeks. In just 1 day of our cooperation, you’ll get blind CVS. In the next 5 days, we’ll start sending you CVs of pre-vetted candidates whom you’d want to invite for an interview right away.

4) Can you headhunt C-level management in Ukraine?

That’s an ace up our sleeve. We’ve amassed 7 years of experience in the industry and accumulated the best practices in recruiting C-level and Lead specialists! That’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 detection application development firm, from the second CV. Other successful cases include the Director of Engineering for Dotmatics and the Deployment Lead for Ledger.

5) What about payroll, accounting, and office lease?

If you hire an offshore application or web development team with Alcor, there’s no need to establish your legal entity in a target location.
