Cons of hiring DevOps engineers through IT companies
Outsourcing individual experts or even the entire teams through IT companies is super convenient. They are not only qualified but do have all the necessary technology in place. All you need to do is to share the details of your project and cooperate throughout the process. Sounds like a plan, doesn’t it? But make no mistake, there are still some pitfalls to beware of.
The truth is, finding the right outsourcing company can be a challenge. You’ve probably heard all these urban legends about the worst outsourcing experience. However, if you take this process seriously, your project will end up in good hands. To find a reliable IT company, go beyond Google search. Places like Clutch will help you find accurate information about each team and referrals from colleagues will encourage you to make the best choice.
Our company also provides team extension services.
It’s super simple. First, we gather the client’s project requirements, agree on the desired workflow, team size, deadlines, and deliverables. Next, we assemble the team, select the best-suited experts, show you CVs, invite you to perform the final interview, and smoothly integrate into your ongoing project. As a result, you complement your team with much-needed experts and finalize all the work successfully without the hassle of any recruitment processes.
