Hire Offshore Development Team: What Is Included

When you hire an offshore development team through Webco Talent, you get full-time developers, QA testers, a business analyst and a project manager who work only on your product, inside your tools and sprint cadence. Every offshore dedicated development team is recruited, employed and managed by Webco Talent in Manila or Colombo, so you add delivery capacity without Australian employer obligations. Need a single engineer first? Start with one of our offshore software developers and grow into a team.

Software developers

Frontend, backend and full stack developers across React, Node.js, .NET, Python, PHP, mobile and cloud.

QA testers

Manual and automated testing that catches defects before release. See our dedicated QA testers.

Business analyst

Turns business requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and a groomed backlog.

Project manager

Runs sprints, standups and reporting so your roadmap ships on time and your team stays aligned.

UI/UX designer

Optional design capacity for wireframes, prototypes and interface design inside the same team.

HR, payroll and account management

Webco Talent handles recruitment, payroll, retention and IT, with a single monthly invoice in AUD.

Every dedicated team includes:

Dedicated Team vs Staff Augmentation vs Build Operate Transfer

A dedicated team is a self-contained squad working only on your product, staff augmentation adds individual engineers to a team you already manage, and build operate transfer (BOT) sets up an offshore operation that is later handed over to your own entity. Here is how the three models compare for Australian businesses:

Dedicated teamStaff augmentationBuild operate transfer
Who directs the workYou set priorities; our PM or team lead can run deliveryYou manage engineers directly in your teamProvider builds and runs the team, then hands it over
Team shapeCross-functional: developers, QA, BA, PMIndividual roles added to your existing teamFull team plus a local operating entity

End stateTeam stays managed; code and IP are yoursEngineers stay managed; code and IP are yoursTeam and operation transfer to you

Verdict: choose staff augmentation for one or two skill gaps, a dedicated team for ongoing product delivery, and BOT only if you plan to own an offshore entity long term. Many teams start with augmentation and grow into a dedicated team on the same terms. Read more on staff augmentation vs outsourcing.

Offshore Development Team FAQs

What Australian companies ask before hiring a dedicated offshore team.

Can I hire a full offshore development team instead of one developer?

Yes. You can start with one developer and add roles over time, or hire a dedicated team with developers, QA testers, a business analyst and a project manager, all on the same month-to-month terms.

  1. Share the role, tech stack and seniority you need.
  2. Receive shortlisted CVs within 10 business days.
  3. Interview and technically test candidates.
  4. Start on a month-to-month agreement with 30 days’ notice.
  5. You are covered by a 6-Month Replacement Guarantee if the fit is not right.
Need one developer rather than a full team? See how to hire offshore developers individually.

Every Webco Talent placement is covered by a 6-Month Replacement Guarantee. If the developer is not the right fit within six months, we recruit a replacement at no additional placement cost.

Webco Talent roles start from $3,000 per month for a junior QA tester and from $6,500 per month for a senior developer, in AUD, excluding GST. A five-person team with a senior developer, junior developer, senior QA tester, business analyst and project manager costs $23,000 per month, compared with about $53,248 per month for the same roles hired locally, a saving of 57%.

Your business does. Every Webco staff member signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment Agreement before commencing work. All staff operate on secure, dedicated workstations, with employee monitoring software available upon request.

Yes. Teams work aligned to your nominated Australian time zone. The Manila hub is 2 to 3 hours behind AEST and the Colombo hub is 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind, so daily standups, sprint ceremonies and same-day reviews run in your working day.

No. Webco Talent places full-time staff only, at 160 hours per month, so every developer and team member works exclusively on your product.
