Recruiting and retaining developer talent in-house is challenging, especially when development is not an agency’s core offering. Outsourcing development to 6B takes the pain out of resourcing development talent in your agency, flex in and out of a dedicated development team at 6B as required
Your outsourced development department
There are a number of reasons agencies hire 6B as their outsourced development department, including-
Speed – save time searching, interviewing, testing, hiring and waiting for long notice periods to expire, move fast and get started within a couple of weeks with a dedicated senior development team at 6B.
Flexibility – hiring in-house means long-term commitments and fixed resources in specific skill sets meaning limited capacity to grow, hire 6B resources and flex in and out of senior development talent as required for your client projects.
Consistency – we offer dedicated teams, including delivery managers, designers, technical architects, developers, quality assurance executives and more. Work with the same team each time and develop relationships similar to working with an in-house team.Cost – recruitment and retention is expensive and competitive, we offer partner rates, designed to work for everyone and to ensure your margins are preserved and 6B remains a competitive option compared to hiring in-house.
Ideal for fast growing agencies
We understand the challenges of resourcing delivery and capacity management in a fast growing digital agency. Resourcing highly specific skill sets and finding and retaining talented developers is challenging, especially when an agency is moving and growing extremely fast.
