Rushing the hiring process without clear goals or proper vetting. Many teams hire based on price alone and end up with poor communication, weak code, or cultural differences. Always follow a hiring checklist for offshore developers.

Popular countries include India, Ukraine, Vietnam, Poland, Bangladesh, and Latin America. Look for a mix of strong technical education, time zone overlap, and English communication skills when making your choice.

Freelancers work best for short tasks. Agencies handle projects but may lack flexibility. Dedicated offshore teams (like those from 6sense Technologies) are ideal for long-term growth and deeper collaboration.

If you use a platform or partner, hiring can take just a few days. Doing it yourself may take weeks. Always allow time for onboarding, testing, and getting the developer familiar with your system.

Build a few overlapping hours into your workday, use async updates, and set clear communication expectations. Daily standups, Slack check-ins, and shared dashboards help keep everyone aligned.
