Companies Scaling with Alcor
Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!
With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.
We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.
We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.
Alcor’s R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.
I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.
Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.
FAQ
1. What are the best locations for hiring software developers globally?
As a rule, these are the regions with rich tech talent pools, lower developer salaries than in your home country, and Western-like mentality seasoned with excellent English proficiency. Now, there are two main software engineering oceans like this worldwide: Latin America and Eastern Europe. Together, these regions boast a pool of over 2.5 million seasoned software developers of various tech stacks and levels. For example, the primary IT staffing hubs span Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Ukraine.
2. What is the most secure, fast, and easy way to recruit software developers in LATAM or Eastern Europe for a tech product company?
A swift and pain-free way to work with LATAM and Eastern European developers is to start cooperation with a professional local IT recruiting firm. Such a partner has a professional team of information technology recruiters and knows how to attract and interview talented coders and persuade them to accept your offers. Moreover, they can perform a full-cycle tech hiring process — from creating ideal candidate profiles and compelling EVPs to screening, interviewing, and managing offers. To step up the recruitment process, they should also provide employer branding assistance to make sure your company and vacancies are desirable to Senior, Lead, and C-level IT talent from LATAM and EE. Fun fact — after almost 8 years of providing this service at Alcor, we’ve established our own IT recruitment records: 15% of vacancies are closed from the first CV, 80% of CVs are approved by clients, 98,6% of candidates successfully pass probation and stay with clients for 2.5 year on average.
3. What should you pay attention to when choosing a nearshore or offshore IT recruitment agency?
First of all, make sure they have relevant expertise with companies from your industry. Secondly, ensure your potential tech hiring partner has case studies about cooperation with previous clients and unbiased client testimonials on independent platforms like Clutch or Goodfirms. Finally, it’s great to have a call with them first to see how they will satisfy your recruitment and other needs. For example, a good vendor will schedule an IT recruitment consultation for you where they will share a free salary report and analytics on your open positions and tell you about their hiring methodology and pricing!
4. How long does it take an IT recruiting agency to hire a software engineer in LATAM or Eastern Europe for my team?
The best-case scenario is when your tech hiring vendor fills a vacancy within 2-6 weeks. When speaking about the team of software developers, it’s great if your IT recruitment agency can hire 5 developers in 1 month, 20 within 3 months, and 100 within a year. At least, this is what we do at Alcor. Additionally, we offer a 3-month candidate replacement warranty.
5. How much do I need to be involved in the information technology recruiting process if I opt for cooperation with an IT recruiting company?
It always depends on the organizational approach of your tech hiring vendor. If you have a professional partner, you will only be asked to approve blind CVs and interviewed candidates, conduct a technical interview and/or test task, and participate in a final interview. All that part concerning candidate search, job descriptions’ creation and posting, pre-screening, HR interviews, and offer/counteroffer management falls on your partner’s shoulders. Of course, all the decision-making is up to you. Yet, you can always ask your tech recruiting partner to keep you more in the loop and monitor the hiring process via weekly progress reports that they prepare for you.
6. What other services does a professional IT recruiting firm provide?
Apart from full-cycle IT recruitment, your tech hiring partner should be able to back you up in other ways or offer a better and more comprehensive solution, don’t you think? We at Alcor have just the right offer — your own software R&D center with IT recruitment, Employer of Record, and 360° operational support. This is basically your own development office in LATAM or Eastern Europe with a professional software team that is completely handled from an operational standpoint. By this we mean that you don’t have to establish a legal entity or deal with other legal & accounting hurdles. You can leave your team’s employment, payroll, taxes, employee benefits, and onboarding/offboarding to us and focus on other important tasks. Plus, we’ll provide extra services that you might need: office lease, equipment procurement, IT infrastructure setup — you name it.
