I only want to hire one software developer, not an entire team, can you help?
Sure, we can. We have several long-term clients with one-developer. We can also help if you’re interested in building out or taking over your team in the future. We’re here to help and serve our clients best.
I want to hire a large development team, can you help?
Absolutely. We have lots of cross-functional teams, and we’ll help you expand or build your team at no additional cost. We’ll provide you with a free estimate of costs and reasonable ramp up time for building your dream team. Our adaptive Agile software development approach involves the client (product owner) always in the process for project planning, continuous improvement & implementation, and quick response to the changes required.
What are the costs associated with setting up or hiring a team?
There are no costs to the client for setting up a team. We’ll provide your team with everything they need to get started, including a standard hardware setup that works for most of our clients.
Will the hired developers, project managers be working in our time zone?
Yes, when you’re working with VLink- ‘Sun never sets on our projects’. We align our developers to your time zone, project milestones and timelines at your convenience.
Is the developer trial period completely free for 40-hrs?
Yes, we offer a risk-free developer trial at no cost to the client so you can evaluate the work quality, communication modes, development process, delivery milestones, etc. of the hired trial developer. If you like the work, you can continue with the hiring process. If the work isn’t up to speed, we’ll allocate another resource. In any case, if it doesn’t work, you can cancel the trial engagement any time at no cost.
How long does it take VLink to start building a software development team?
Typically, it takes us 4-5 weeks to build a 4–5-member team. The 1st week is used to build an initial pipeline of candidates for clients to interview and test. If you plan on setting up a larger team, a realistic timeline is to start 4-5 developers/team members in 4-5 weeks and expand with 1-2 additional hires every month, onboarding does require time. For instance, if you’re wanting to set up a team of 20 developers it would take between 8-9 months.
