When Should I Outsource Additional Developers?

Published on
January 26, 2024

Right-sizing your company’s technical project team remains an important task for your managers. At the heart of this critical managerial duty lies deciding when to outsource additional programming talent. After all, employing the right amount of developers ensures your company completes its projects on time and under budget.


So let’s take a closer look at the criteria for determining whether to add more programmers to your team. For this scenario, the right choice makes your projects run more efficiently, leading to happy clients and additional work. It ultimately helps your organization stay nimble, profitable, and poised for additional growth in the future.


Your Current Developers Suffer From Burnout 


Are you noticing signs of burnout among your programmers and other technical employees? Increased absenteeism, tardiness, and reduced productivity all provide strong hints of poor morale in your current staff. When crunch time during an important project causes symptoms like these, consider quickly adding an influx of developer talent. Remember overtime also causes additional expenses; increasing your staff better balances workloads among your employees.


Clients Becoming Unhappy With Progress on Projects 


Building a productive development agency requires keeping your clients happy. It’s no surprise that satisfied customers spread the word; resulting in additional business for your company. So whenever you hear from disgruntled clients about the slow progress on your project, pay attention to their concerns. An understaffed project team typically struggles to complete project work on time. This situation makes adding fresh development talent paramount.


Unable to Take on New Projects 


A customer who loved your company’s work on a previous project wants to engage you on a new opportunity. Unfortunately, your team is tied-up on a current initiative that’s behind schedule. Forced to turn down a chance for new business, you wonder about your current staffing levels. This is another scenario requiring onboarding a few more developers.  


Your Company’s Quality of Work Suffers 


Maybe the project discussed above is behind schedule because your developers are overworked during crunch time? Burnout among programmers leads to more mistakes and bugs making into your codebase. Obviously, this situation causes project deadlines to be missed. When your team’s quality of work tanks, it’s time to add new talent on a permanent or temporary basis.
