Both for experienced managers and young start-up leaders it happens to have some doubts when it comes to make a decision if to hire or to outsource the work. There's no universal pattern explaining what to do because it depends on too many different factors. However, the aim of this presentation is to make you conscious of some advantages and disadvantages to each approach.

1. A small guide whether to hire
or to outsource

2. Imagine you’ve just set up your own start-up

3. It means you’ll need to build a great team
in order to achieve company’s goals.

4. You’ll have to hire professionals.

5. But wait. Professionals are expensive.
And your budget is small initially.

6. Don’t panic! Have you ever heard
about outsourcing?

7. It’s the situation when you decide to delegate
some of your services to outside companies or
individuals

8. Why to outsource?
Usually it’s cheaper to find a company
from a country with lower average
salaries and pay them for the service
than to hire your own team of
developers.
Except for the satisfying ROI, take under
consideration some far more significant non-
price advantages.
You save a lot of time too. You don’t
need to spend time on the recruitment
process—the company did it instead of
you.
Outsourcing companies have a lot of
experience—they’re responsible for
many projects a year. It’s a chance to
learn a lot—they can teach you
things you would never discover by
yourself.
Outsourcing companies feel more
responsible for the project
they’re working on than your
employee—they take care of their
good reputation.

9. Why not?
You’ll have less control on the project.
Different culture could be another
obstacle to conquer - before
cooperating with foreign people, you
should read more about their cultural
habits in order to avoid blunders.
You’ll need to be more careful about the
safety of your data, especially if you decide
to cooperate with companies from India or
China, where the data protection law is not so
strict as in Europe.
Another concern could be lack
of good communication - it’s
very difficult to find a common
ground with people who are
located 10000 miles away,
where there’s a different time
zone and working hours.

10. If your company wasn’t just started and
you’ve enough budget to hire, do it

11. Why to hire?
You’ll have a lot of control on every aspect
of the project.
Employees are a part of your team—
they understand your firm’s values
and priorities—so it’s easier to
achieve corporate goals.
You risk less—you can lead a
long recruitment process in
order to find the best
professionals on the market.
Then their brain capital will be
your company’s priceless asset.
You’ll benefit by face-to-face
conversations—it’s easier to find
common solutions together. It also
means that you will keep a constant
high quality level of
communication. Of course it’s
possible to meet people from the
outsourcing company, yet it’s much
more difficult to organise.

12. Why not?
Costs are big. You have to spend much
more money to hire professionals.
Consider health insurance, which is very
expensive and other additional expenses like
office space, management costs or problems
with replacing people. When it comes to
outsourcing, you pay for the finished project
and that’s enough.
You’ll need to spend a lot of time
on the recruitment process and
it’s not so easy to convince some
web developers to work with you
permanently.
