Hiring programmers for a specific project becomes more and more popular than hiring them full-time. Projects are always restricted by their budget and time boundaries. That is why every company wants to hire software developers cheaply but highly-qualified at the same time. In this article, we will tell you how to find the best quality-price ratio software developers, where you can do it, and what are the difficulties that may occur. 

Cheap programmers: is this even possible?

The easiest way to find cheap programmers for hire is to outsource your project to developers in another country. If the company from the USA will decide to outsource their project development to Poland or Ukraine, it may cost them even 50% less, then they would spend on hiring local developers in-house. The reason for such huge differences in pricing is very simple. Location is one of the main things that form the salaries of software developers. Costs of living in western Europe are much lower than the costs of living in the USA. As a result, salaries differ as well. So, the easiest way of hiring software developers cheaply is outsourcing your project instead of doing it in-house with full-time employees.

Alternatives for in-house programmers

There are 2 main alternatives to hiring in-house developers: hiring freelance developers and hiring a dedicated development team.

Hiring freelance developers is a cheap and flexible option. A huge market leads to lower salaries when comparing to hiring developers in-house. Freelance networks are full of talents with different levels of experience and specifications. On the other hand, freelance developers can have limited availability problems – booked on some days in some periods and may not easily extend the contract. It can be hard to quickly find a replacement for freelance developers in case of sickness. It will also be much harder to manage a team of freelance developers, who never worked together before.

That is why the second solution is usually a more expensive but more reasonable choice. The development team has experience of working together on the same projects and has all communications and management established properly. It will also be easier for them to scale their team or replace sick members if ever needed. Development with a whole dedicated team is usually faster and less stressful when comparing to working with multiple freelance developers.

Where you can find cheap programmers for hire?

The easiest way to hire freelance developers is to visit the most popular international freelance networks, which have a big amount of different offers available and are updated with new ones consistently every day. The biggest of them are:
