Offshore Contractor vs. Cloud Employee
A home office can come with internet shortages, slow speeds, and regular interruptions.
When you need them urgently, they’re working on another client’s issue, creating bottlenecks.
Is the contractor doing things right first time, or taking on too much and making mistakes?
You’re never quite sure if your developer's webcam is actually broken, or they're simply not present.
Hiring a contractor can mean taking a gamble on their tech set up, leading to crashes, breakdowns, or loss of data.
Ensuring security compliance and risk management offshore is critical - and very hard to do.
Offices are fully Western managed operations with HR, communal areas and a vibrant community of highly skilled people working next to each other.
Your Cloud Employee is a dedicated developer working exclusively for your company.
We have a biometric ‘clock-in’ system meaning that time keeping is tracked and monitored.
Your dedicated developer will work the same office hours as you and be available all day.
Cloud Employee uses high-speed internet and backup power generators guarantee uninterrupted work.
Cloud Employee provide all staff with an external hard drive to back up work, and we provide brand new equipment with warranty.
What the difference feels like:
We spent four months trying to hire in the US. We engaged Cloud Employee and had two full-time developers onboarded in one week. The guys have been working with us for two years and we're now up to a team of six.
Seb and the team take great care of their staff, and you can see their focus on quality in the candidates they present. A reliable resourcing partner who genuinely understand the nuances of good staff augmentation.
Our new developers were able to hit the ground running, we've worked with them for over two years now, and they are truly part of our team.
Working with Cloud Employee developers is great, because they're not afraid to push back. They're proactive, they're positive, and they feel like part of our team.
Working with Michael is great (our CE developer) - he's dedicated, very skilled, embedded right into our team, and really fits into our working culture. We just wish he lived closer so we could have him in office from time to time!
