Buyer guide

Tech outsourcing vs hiring in-house

Outsource when you need vetted people quickly, want to scale up or down month to month, or need skills you will not need forever; hire in-house for roles that define your long-term product. Many companies do both, and a build–operate–transfer model moves an outsourced team in-house later.
