Hiring Software Developers is a challenge for many businesses. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median software developer salary in the US is $112,921.00 annually.  This is before factoring in basic benefits, and required taxes that also have to be paid to a staff developer. Tacking those items on results in an additional cost of over $37,000!

Going further, when you include the cost of overhead (office space, technologies, management structure, admin costs) you balloon this number to a whopping $198,000 meaning that you’re paying your software developer $112,000 annually, and another $86,000 just to keeping them on staff.

For some businesses, the cost of having developers on staff makes sense. For example, if your primary business is producing a software product, you need a core team of developers who know that product inside and out to work on it.

For most businesses, however, outsourced developers can make a lot of sense, for the following reasons.

Software developers love to pad their resumes with all of the technologies they’ve heard of, read about or worked through a demo of.  When we talk about experience, we mean that our developers have time in the trenches solving business problems with these technologies. Experience you can count on.

Numbers in the chart to the right represent the proportion of our team who are experts in each of these technologies.
