Why hire remote backend developers?
The competition to hire great devs gets fierce. You’re trying to attract the best, but so is every other startup. So why make your talent pool any smaller than it needs to be? Open your startup to a world of talent you can’t find anywhere else.
Competitive wages
Talent is the largest part of any startup’s budget. So when you’re budget-constrained, your hiring becomes a balancing act between skill and wages. Find skilled and affordable devs by leveraging global economic forces in your favor.
Built-in agility
When you only hire Back-end developers in-house, your workflow is limited by your core team. Hiring remote contractors allows you to scale quickly to deal with any challenges that threaten your startup’s growth.
Empowered teams
The best teams pursue solutions proactively. When problems come up, they create solutions before talking to their manager. Remote contractors are inherently self-driven, working to solve problems before they come up in the weekly meeting.
Less overhead
In-house employees need desks, computers, and room to put all those things, driving your fixed costs up. Remote developers bring their office with them, so you can keep your office small and lower your overhead.
