Offshore hiring for your product team.

Bring offshore developers into your product team with clear responsibilities, shared tools, and a working rhythm that fits your business. Start with the skills your roadmap needs.

Choose how we work together.

Add capacity to an existing team or scope a team around a product. The engagement should fit the way you want to lead the work.

Extend your engineering team

Add development capacity alongside your existing engineers. Your team sets priorities and reviews the work, while Formics supports the agreed development responsibilities.

Build a dedicated product team

Scope a team around a product or workstream, with development, design, and quality assurance responsibilities agreed together. Define ownership and a delivery process before work begins.

Bring in specialist support

Discuss a specific technical need, such as an API integration, an AI workflow, a frontend build, or a backend improvement. Agree on the skills, scope, and handover needed for that phase.

Explore staff augmentation

From a role brief to a working team.

Make the working relationship clear before adding people to your project.

  1. Map the skills you need

    Share your product, technical stack, current team, and next priorities. We define the roles, responsibilities, and level of support together.

  2. Review the fit

    Agree on a selection process, discuss relevant experience, and review the proposed team. Confirm availability, working hours, and engagement terms.

  3. Onboard into your workflow

    Set up the agreed tools and access, introduce the team, and clarify your coding standards, review process, and first delivery priorities.

  4. Build and review together

    Work through the shared backlog, review progress, and discuss changes in capacity or skills as the product develops.

Start with the skills your product needs.

Explore our technical capabilities, then discuss the experience and availability your project requires.

Before you hire an offshore team

Practical questions about selection, collaboration, and engagement terms.

How is offshore hiring different from a fixed-scope project?

Offshore hiring focuses on development capacity and ongoing collaboration within an agreed engagement. A fixed-scope project focuses on defined deliverables. We discuss the roadmap, ownership, and level of day-to-day direction you want before recommending a model.

Can we interview developers before starting?

We agree on the technical requirements and selection process with you. This can include reviewing relevant work, technical discussions, and interviews before confirming the people and scope of the engagement. Availability is confirmed during the discussion.

Which technologies can we hire for?

Explore the Hire Team menu for our development capabilities, including web, mobile, backend, and AI technologies. The specific skills and developer availability for your project are confirmed after we review your requirements.

How do working hours and communication work?

We agree on working hours, timezone overlap, meeting cadence, and communication channels before starting. Day-to-day work can take place in your existing project management, code review, and messaging tools.

Who owns the code and how is access managed?

Code ownership, confidentiality, and intellectual property terms are defined in the engagement agreement. During onboarding, we agree on repository access, environments, permissions, and your review process, with access limited to the work in scope.

What affects the cost and start date?

The roles, technical skills, team size, engagement length, working hours, and scope affect the proposal. Developer availability and onboarding requirements affect the start date. We confirm these details in a written proposal rather than quoting a universal price or hiring timeline.

Can we change the team as the roadmap develops?

Changes to roles, capacity, or duration can be discussed as your priorities develop. Availability, notice periods, knowledge transfer, and handover responsibilities are agreed in the engagement terms.

Tell us where your team needs support.

Share your roadmap, technical stack, and the roles you have in mind. We’ll discuss a team structure and the next steps.
