Agilegator created and operates the world's largest fully vetted partner network of midsize consulting companies.As the world becomes smaller with technologies we find that there is becoming a demand to be able to recruit worldwide. Both for global remote resource fulfillment as well as for your global in-country requirments.Your business needs and products have made you a global company and your clients are requesting an onsite resource in a country you are not familiar with like Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay,Mexico, Bulgaria,Czech Republic,Romania or the Philippines. Vietnam,New Zealand Do you take one of your core personnel who may not know the local language and culture and relocate them? Or does it make sense to work with Agilegator's proprietary process to locate local experts for the short or long term project. These experts will be paid in their local country and your company will view this as a service rather than the complexity of an employee.

We often find companies have made the investment of an offshore or nearshore development center but do not have the capability to run an efficient recruiting effort in that local country due to lack of ground personnel and local expertise. Agilegator can work with you to fill these requirements. We current have capability in 45 countries for this service and growing.

Global Remote Resourcing and In-Country Recruiting

Argentina,Brazil,Chile,Urugauy,Mexico,Cost Rica,Panama (South America), Bulgaria,Romania, Czech Republic,Poland(Eastern Europe), Philippines,Vietnam,India,China (Asia)  and the other 45 countries Agilegator currently works in.
Shortages of skilled IT workers is a real concern in many of the world's biggest economies, including the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Canada.

To alleviate such shortages of talent, global remote resourcing should be looked at and evaluated as an immediate cure for this problem both as a short term and as a long term solution to this problem. This is not traditional outsourcing this is global remote resourcing sometimes referred to as staff augmentation. You will work with named resources which are as much a part of your team as you would see your employee. They work in an office with project management process in place and work as your company does. They will use your coding standard and your QA processes as well you will have full control of the code source in your depository. The team can grow with ebbs and flows of your requirements with the ability of the team being prepared for upcoming projects. Unlike these marketplace cattle drives these resources are a part of established consulting companies which have been vetted and evaluated with due diligence. These are mid size true software consulting companies which have been visited and due diligece has been taken with upper management which see the value of such a symbiotic relationship. These companies are the cream of the crop and their mid size give Agilegator the ability to be flexible and agile. These are Agilegator partners and part of the Agilegator alliance , many of these partner companies have the highest level certifications with companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP .With the use of our collaborative tools and Agile methodology (Scrum) the global remote resource now becomes a true team “virtual team” member. The process has become seamless where with SKYPE and other collaborative tools it is no different than having a local team which is just housed in another building. You communicate daily, you share work and you become a true team member. You will become closer to your virtual team more than other employees which sit with you on the same floor of your office. We find that for most software development the agile nearshore team is often a big advantage. This makes communication much easier as they work within your day. Sure you can have teams 12 hours away working the night shift but please think if you would work your best in that situation. In nature animal begin to grow very large eyes when put in this situation. We must sometimes remind our self that we are using global remote resourcing for a few reasons

1. To complete a project on time and within budget

2. Availability of skilled resources (in country and remote resources)

3. Productivity and Quality of the end development. (Established consulting and devlopment processes in place and solid and regular communication and project management processes)

If you work with Agilegator our goal is to be your partner in your development and make sure we fill all these needs. With agile methods (Scrum) and good daily communications the remote resource are now seen as problem solvers. With tradition outsourcing and unnamed team there is often disappoint because it is us vs. them mentality. With global remote resourcing when there are issues and problems with a project they are the team’s issues and problems, with the time and effort spent in solving theses issues rather than figure pointing. With many governments unable to fully understand the complex issues of mobility of resources with strict labor and visa restrictions moving a worker on site is often a time consuming and expensive proposition. Often the time required is longer than the project. If you go to the effort to immigrate a resource you now have lost much of the advantages which was gain by the arbitrage in wages. This is also an issue when you expand to a new country and a multinational start to bring IT talent from an “expensive country” to work in it new low cost country where they may be expanding. Agilegator has the solution to both these types of problems. With our vetted consulting around the world we can jump start the effort and hire local talent to fill these requirements.

Accessibility -Agilegator access to quaified global remote resources, as well as in our nearshore development centers is second to none. With pre vetted global remote resources available in over 45 countries and 7 continents

Availabilty- The correct team or resource is available when you need them with the skills you require. We are able to handle a project of 1 resource to a team as large as required. The team can be located in one location or distributed globally as the project requirements dictate.

True Value and Quailty- Our partners are the best vetted mid size consulting companies,with establish "best practices" and processes in place. With certifications from the likes of IBM,Oracle,Sun,and Microsoft to name a few.

Cost Saving- You get the benefits of an aggregate buyers with the addition of the local price arbitrage which only the largest of buyer can obtain.

For the forward thinking group we would have started with global remote resourcing from the country which was planned to expand to. You would have started with this “Virtual Team” building the relationship and core knowledge in the team. Agilegator will do all the required due diligence as an agent of your company in country to start an offshore or nearshore ODC which it will be operated and staffed for a set period of time before it will be handed over to your company for 100% ownership and operations.  So if you require agile software development, global remote resourcing or in country hiring or jump start staffing Agilegator is the right choice for you.
