Remote working: What is it exactly?

Remote working literally means working from a distance. Developers can work from home or from a location abroad. The demand for quality software developers abroad is growing, in line with the increasing need for further digitalisation and innovation. 

In practice, all a software developer needs is an internet connection and a working laptop to get the job done. This can be done virtually anywhere in the world today. 

At Emendis, you can find quality software developers working in Lithuania, Moldova, or South Africa. What are the 3 benefits of hiring remote software developers? 

1. Flexibility

For the company hiring a developer, flexibility is a major advantage. The developer can be deployed at specific times and on specific projects, exactly where the company needs them. Scaling up to more developers is easy, providing more stability to the organisation. Additionally, companies benefit from saving on employee administration costs, which is of course responsibility of the software developer provider. 

2. Access to more talent

Eastern Europe and now South Africa are known for their large pool of talented software developers. Companies can take advantage of significantly lower rates compared to the traditional European market. Talent in these regions continues to grow, which is beneficial as the global demand for developers keeps increasing. 

Hiring remote teams from these regions opens doors to a better and larger pool of technical talent. It also allows companies to maintain projects 24/7 and easily scale teams up or down. 

3. Cost savings

Hiring remote developers means a significant reduction in labour and recruitment costs. This is mainly due to the competitive rates for Dutch quality developers. Understandably, this is the main argument for many companies to work with remote development teams. 

Furthermore, there is no need for an HR team at all levels. Remote team providers offer an efficient and fast candidate selection process, and some of them maintain a permanent database of specialists. 

Transparent collaboration

Transparent collaboration is critical when hiring software developers. For companies in need of additional capacity, the most common questions are: 

“What about quality? How well does remote development work?”

These are understandable and legitmate questions. Building a trust relationship with people working thousands of miles away is not an easy process. With the intervention of a transparent partner (provider) who provides insight and control in the selection process, more and more organisations are taking the step to using remote teams. Therefore, it is important for involved parties to express their expectations beforehand.
