Development of Nearshore Software Engineering and Oversight Platform for Enhanced Talent Acquisition and Management

The client faces limitations in accessing a sufficiently skilled local talent pool, with a shortage of qualified engineers requiring extensive training, increasing operational costs and project delays. They seek an efficient model to integrate external engineering teams while maintaining control, quality, and cultural alignment without establishing a local legal entity or physical branch.

A mid-sized technology firm specializing in software solutions for the sports industry, seeking to expand its development capacity through nearshore partnerships and improve team integration and oversight.

• Establish a scalable platform facilitating the integration of nearshore software development teams with full oversight capabilities.
• Reduce costs associated with hiring, training, and maintaining software development teams by leveraging nearshore resources.
• Ensure high-quality software delivery by implementing strict technical and cultural assessment procedures during partner selection.
• Enable seamless communication and collaboration within the same or compatible time zones to optimize productivity.
• Create transparent, controlled budgeting and cost management processes for external engineering engagements.
• Foster strong collaboration and cultural alignment between internal teams and external nearshore developers.

• Intelligent candidate screening and evaluation interface based on technical assessment and cultural fit.
• End-to-end recruitment funnel management, including job posting, interview scheduling, and onboarding processes.
• A project management dashboard offering real-time tracking of deliverables, milestones, and resource allocation.
