Embarking your entrepreneurial journey makes one painfully aware of the resources needed to create a successful business. You\u2019ll encounter complications in hiring a team, managing budgets or troubleshooting development issues. Building a team that has the right skills but also shares your company ethos can make or break you in the end \u2014 that\u2019s why you need to consider your options carefully.<\/p>\n

Asking for recommendations and looking for collaborators nearby is usually the first thing any aspiring entrepreneur would consider. More entrepreneurs are renouncing the more \u2018traditional\u2019 startup methods and are instead searching for teams and partners abroad \u2014 specifically in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

Remote work is a tricky subject \u2014 whether it\u2019s an aversion to the unknown, worries regarding quality or feeling uncomfortable working with overseas teams, there\u2019s plenty of arguments against outsourcing. However, most of them are based on fear and rumours rather than reality. Here\u2019s the real reasons why working with an Eastern European team can lead to greatness.<\/p>\n

Talent is abundant<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The fact of the matter is, the talent pool in the most developed countries in the world simply can\u2019t cover the needs of today\u2019s tech world. And in an incredibly specialised industry that\u2019s growing at the speed of light, the right team can be the enabler of your company\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

According to Forbes, the human resources available in the region make Eastern Europe a major player in technological innovation, consistently ranking at the top of the world in educational achievement for math, science and technology. Some think that the tech talent pool has evolved so quickly, it has the potential to build strong competition against Silicon Valley. Point is, quality and quantity can occur together \u2014 and they do in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

Quality and work ethic go hand in hand<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re competing with talent around the world, you really have no chance unless you\u2019re excellent at what you do. Most Eastern European designers and developers are self-taught and continuously educate themselves to stay above the international standard.<\/p>\n

Their geographic dissonance have determined them to perfect their language and communication skills in order to offer a superb client experience. So you won\u2019t just be getting quality deliverables, you\u2019ll be getting happy clients who truly feel like they\u2019ve been respected, guided and listened to.<\/p>\n

You are \u2018out-sharing\u2019, not outsourcing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After the fall of the communist bloc, Eastern Europe became a go-to-place to find cheap and specialised labour. But as economies develop, you\u2019ll notice companies are leaning more towards an out-sharing approach.<\/p>\n

Out-sharing, a term coined by the World Economic Forum, means that the teams and businesses you are outsourcing to (instead of being your remote yes-men) are taking on more complex roles, becoming just as involved in building value for your business and your users. They put in more effort to research, challenge assumptions and communicate transparently, in order to generate value. Micromanagement is also becoming a thing of the past in the remote work environment, as employees or contractors don\u2019t need to be watched over \u2014 they\u2019re intrinsically motivated and will strive to innovate not because you force them to or because you pay them, but because they\u2019re invested in creative valuable partnerships and collaborations globally.<\/p>\n
