How quickly can a dedicated team start working on my project?

Most remote teams, acting as a team extension, are fully operational within two weeks of the initial discovery call, significantly minimizing training costs. This includes candidate selection, interviews, onboarding, and integration into your workflows. If you have urgent needs, we can expedite the process—some teams have started contributing within days for critical projects.

What happens if a team member isn't working out?

We stand behind our vetting process, but if there's a mismatch, we'll replace the team member quickly at no additional cost. Your satisfaction and team chemistry are critical to project success, so we address any concerns immediately and proactively.

What time zones do your teams work in?

We build teams that align with your working hours and collaboration needs. Whether you need overlap with US time zones, European hours, or follow-the-sun coverage, we staff accordingly. Most clients prefer 4-6 hours of daily overlap for real-time collaboration, with async work filling the gaps.

How much does it cost to hire a dedicated development team?

It depends on three things: who's on the team, their seniority, and how long you work together. As a rough guide, middle developers start around $20–$25/hr and senior engineers or team leads around $40–$45/hr, which works out to roughly $3,000 and $6,000 per specialist per month at full-time. There's no flat sticker price because no two teams are identical, but there are no hidden fees either. After a short discovery call, you receive a written proposal with clear monthly rates covering every team member, management, and overhead.

How is a dedicated team different from staff augmentation or team extension?

Staff augmentation (or team extension) adds one or two individual specialists to a team you already manage — you direct their day-to-day work and carry the integration overhead. A dedicated team is a complete, purpose-built group that Freshcode runs on your behalf: we handle the day-to-day management while you set the direction and priorities, and the team owns your project end-to-end. In short, augmentation fills a gap; a dedicated team owns the build.

How do I hire a dedicated software development team?

It starts with a discovery call to map your goals, tech stack, and the team you need. Within 48 hours, we present vetted candidates matched to your requirements — you interview them directly and make the final call on who joins. We handle onboarding, and your team contributes to your sprints within two weeks.

What specialists are included in a dedicated development team?

Whatever your product needs. A typical team blends frontend and backend engineers with QA, DevOps, and a project manager or business analyst — and can add AI and data specialists when the roadmap calls for it. We assemble the exact mix of roles and seniority your project requires, not a fixed package.

Can I scale my dedicated development team after the project starts?

Yes. Your team scales up or down as your needs change — add specialists when the roadmap grows, or trim when priorities shift. Because we handle recruiting and team management, changing the team's size or skill mix doesn't disrupt your delivery.

Hire a Dedicated Software Development Team

What is a dedicated
development team?

A dedicated development team is a remote or outsourced group of skilled professionals - developers, designers, testers and sometimes project managers - who work exclusively on your project for an extended period, functioning as an extension of your in-house team.

Unlike project-based outsourcing, where you hand off a project and wait for delivery, a dedicated team integrates directly into your workflow and operates under your direction and management. They're "dedicated" because they're committed full-time (or substantial part-time) to your project alone, not juggling multiple clients simultaneously. You get consistent team members who deeply understand your business, product and goals over time.

Growing

Dedicated Team vs. Staff Augmentation vs. Outsourcing

Criteria	Staff Augmentation	Dedicated Team	Project-Based Outsourcing
Also known as	Extended team, co-sourced team	Delivery team, managed team	Outsourced development team
How it works	You "borrow" the provider's specialists for as long as you need, adding contract talent to your existing team	You and your partner share ownership of the project; the provider runs the team, you set direction	You hand off the full specification, and the partner manages the entire process end to end
Who controls delivery	You; full project control stays in-house	Shared; you own the roadmap, we run day-to-day	The vendor; least client involvement
Main strength	Fast added capacity with no recruitment risk	Deep integration, transparent management, long-term focus	Clear timelines and outcomes; ideal for non-technical clients
Key trade-off	You carry management and integration overhead	Higher engagement cost than a short augmentation	Full specs must be defined up front, and you have the least control
Best for	Adding 1–2 specialists to an existing team	Long-term product development and scaling	A scoped, well-specified short-term project

This application has allowed me to grow my business across all my KPIs significantly. In the season before working with Freshcode, I generated 100 CRPs; then, last season, I generated 300, and this season, I have generated over 4,000. After launching the 1.0 application, my revenue increased by 15.7 times, with 17 times as many paying customers. I would not have been able to do that without the application Freshcode developed. Now that the 2.0 application is live, I feel confident in marketing and am looking forward to even more growth next season.
