From the time we agree upon your team requirements to their first day on the job with you typically requires 5-10 business days, for full-time personnel from our talent pool. If we're searching engineers for you from the market, you're getting the first relevant candidates within 3-4 days.

Mostly engineers work from their own homes or local coworking spaces in our hubs like Warsaw, Krakow, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Riga and Kyiv. They can also come into our local offices as needed for specific events. If you need to establish a local R&D center for your engineers to work on-premise, we certainly will arrange that.

No. We take care of the employment of record of each person on your outsourced team. PerceptionBox has registered legal entities in Israel, Poland and United Arab Emirates. We can hire in almost every country of your choice.

Only as relates to specialty equipment that may require (i.e. augmented reality, video production, 3D printers, etc.). Most of our IT specialists already have computers and essential hardware of their own. If they do not, we can provide them a laptop or desktop as suited to your project and defined in our discussions.

We hope this never happens, but it’s not realistic to say it can never happen. It’s desirable to first speak with the engineer to bring the matter to their attention and provide an opportunity to self-correct. If, however, the situation repeats, please bring it to the attention of your account manager here at PerceptionBox so we can evaluate your options together. Options include further training or replacing the engineer asap.

One of your first priorities when outsourcing is to designate a project manager or team leader to oversee your outsourced team - and define your protocols, workdays, office hours, flextime policies, etc. This extends to include the project management software your team should use (like Jira, Trello, Monday, ClickUp, or any other PMS you choose). The productivity of each developer should be clear if you are tracking tasks with Sprints using the popular and effective Agile methodology. Your PM or team leader will also need to define which version control system you want to use (like git or mercurial), version hosting and management solution (GitHub, GitLab, BigBucket, Azure DevOps). Ideally, you should also use automated software development performance analytics - which can track virtually every imaginable metric for each developer, team, and project, in your company.

This is certainly possible provided it is planned with sufficient advance notice. We strongly recommend contacting your account manager here with PerceptionBox to facilitate the effort. You’ll need to cover the cost of airline tickets, lodging and per diem expenses, and visa fees. Some countries may require you to write a letter of invitation stating why the person is needed and where they will stay upon arrival.
