The COVID-19 pandemic has made remote work a standard practice. Before the pandemic, hiring remote engineers or working remotely was relatively rare, and the idea of working for a company in another country seemed like a distant dream. Those days are behind us—today, remote engineers and remote work are widely accepted and increasingly common

The Future of Remote Work

A study by Stanford University revealed that, in June 2020, 42% of the U.S. workforce was working from home full-time. The flexibility and comfort of remote work have led to increased productivity, making it an attractive option for both companies and employees. But the question remains: Is it better for companies to hire remote workers or build in-house teams?

Challenges of In-House Hiring

Hiring developers for in-house positions comes with significant challenges. Finding one skilled developer, let alone an entire team, can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Delays in recruitment can impact project timelines and overall company performance. While offering higher salaries and incentives might attract talent, it doesn’t guarantee the right fit. A mismatch in hiring can lead to lost projects and substantial costs.

Advantages of Remote Teams

Hiring remote teams offers several advantages. Remote employees are not bound by location, allowing them to work from anywhere while delivering the same quality as in-office staff. This flexibility can accelerate development timelines for apps and websites. Remote teams are often more cost-effective than local hires, who may not be a long-term fit. Additionally, remote teams don’t require the same overhead costs, saving you money on assets and liabilities.

However, it’s crucial to thoroughly vet any remote teams, developers, or engineers to avoid delays in critical projects.
