FIG 03 · Why it matters
Teams outsource for talent now, not just cost.
From Deloitte’s Global Outsourcing Survey, plus the one rule we hold every engagement to.

Talent
Skills and agility, not only savings
Deloitte reports that skilled talent and agility have joined cost reduction as key drivers for outsourcing.

83%
Use AI in outsourced services
83% of executives Deloitte surveyed are leveraging AI as part of their outsourced services, so the developers you hire need to work well with AI tools.

Day one
Your repositories, your IP
Code goes into your GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket from the first commit, and IP assignment is written into the contract.
FIG 04 · Definition
What is the dedicated team model?
In the dedicated team model, a provider supplies full-time engineers who work only on your product, take direction from you and stay with you month after month. The provider handles recruiting, payroll, equipment and retention. Here is how it compares with the other ways to get software built, including when not to choose it.
| Dedicated team | Staff augmentation | Fixed-price project | Freelancers | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | High: you set priorities every sprint | High, inside your existing team | Low once scope is fixed | High, person by person | Full |
| Speed to start | After shortlisting and interviews | After shortlisting and interviews | After scoping and a quote | Fast, but quality varies | Slowest: recruiting and notice periods |
| Cost predictability | A monthly quote per team | A monthly quote per person | Highest: one fixed price | Varies by hours and churn | Salary plus benefits, hiring and tools |
| Management load | Shared: your product lead plus our client partner | Yours: they join your process | Low: the provider manages delivery | High: you manage each person | Yours |
| Best for | A long-running product with a changing roadmap | Filling one skill gap in a team you already run | A clear, well-defined build | Short, isolated tasks | Core, long-term capability you want on payroll |
| When not to choose it | A small, fixed scope: a project is cheaper | You have no one to lead the work | Requirements will change a lot | Work that needs continuity or access to sensitive systems | You need people this quarter |
If your scope is small and fixed, hiring a dedicated team is the wrong tool. We’ll say so and quote it as a project instead.

FIG 08 · Step by step
How to hire dedicated developers safely
Whoever you hire from, these eight steps protect your product, your code and your budget. They are the same checks we expect clients to run on us.
08principles
Define the roles and outcomes
Write down the roles, seniority and stack you need, and what the team should deliver in its first three months. Outcomes beat headcount.
Check the provider’s shipped work
Ask for live products, not slide decks, and talk to the people who built them. Ours is Kenerate AI.
Interview the actual developers
Meet the people who will write your code, not a sales team. Use a short technical task or a live pairing session on a real problem.
Start with a paid trial
Begin with a trial sprint on real work with clear goals. It shows how the team communicates and ships before you commit long term.
Put IP, NDA and data protection in writing
The contract should assign all IP to you, include an NDA, and add a data processing agreement (DPA) under GDPR or UK GDPR if the team will handle personal data.
Set security basics
Code lives in your repositories, access is through accounts you control and can revoke, devices are managed, and production secrets stay out of chat and email.
Agree overlap hours and a cadence
Fix the shared hours, the stand-up and demo rhythm, and who your day-to-day contact is, before the first sprint starts.
Agree replacement and exit terms
Know what happens if a developer isn’t the right fit, how notice works and how code and knowledge are handed back. Make sure these terms are set out in your contract.
FIG 09 · Onboarding
The first 30 days
What a good start looks like, so you can judge the team early and adjust before small issues become habits.
06principles
Access and onboarding
Developers join your Slack, Jira and GitHub with accounts you control, and get a walkthrough of your product and codebase.
First-sprint goals
A small set of real tickets with clear acceptance criteria, so the team ships something useful early and you see how they work.
Rituals in place
Stand-ups inside the shared hours, sprint planning, code review and a demo at the end of every sprint.
Documentation as they go
Setup notes, decisions and anything they learn about your system, written down where your team can find it.
Reporting starts
Your client partner shares what shipped, what’s blocked and what’s next, in writing.
A 30-day review
A call to review the work, the fit and the team size, and to change anything that isn’t working.
