Dedicated development team in India

Developers in India who work only for you, without setting up a company there.

We recruit developers in India for you, employ them through our Indian company and take care of everything else: office, equipment, HR and retention. You manage the development as if they sat in your own office.

Who it is for

You have a development team, and you need more good hands

This model suits companies that run their own development and want to grow the team without hiring locally and without setting up operations abroad.

Local hiring is stuck

Good developers are hard to find, hiring takes months and costs are high. India has a large pool of experienced developers in all the mainstream technologies.

Your team is busy with maintenance

Maintenance, integrations and fixes move to the extension team, and your local team is free for new products and research.

You need expertise you do not have

A new technology, another platform or an unfamiliar field. You can hire the right specialist at a cost that suits an experiment.

How it works

From a job description to a developer working on your code

  1. Job description: you send us job descriptions: technologies, experience, English level and responsibilities.
  2. Posting and screening: we post the roles on the right platforms in India and test candidates with online tests tailored to the role.
  3. Interviews: we interview candidates for both HR fit and technical skill, and pass on only the best.
  4. Your decision: you interview the shortlisted candidates and decide whom to hire.
  5. Onboarding: the developers are employed by our Indian company, and we prepare their desk, computer and communication equipment.
  6. Day to day: you manage the development directly. We handle HR, professional support, infrastructure and a working environment that keeps people for the long term.

What we take on

  • Recruitment, tests and interviews
  • Employment through our Indian company, including payroll, contracts and Indian legal requirements
  • Office, computer and communication equipment
  • Running the environment: machines, servers, installations and network
  • HR, training and retention
  • A software house’s professional environment: knowledge management, expert advice and documentation

What stays with you

  • Defining tasks and priorities
  • Managing day-to-day development, with your own tools
  • Code review and ownership of the product
  • Deciding whom to hire, and how many

If you do not yet have a professional setup for a remote team, the developers join ours until you build one. If you wish, the team can also work with the development rule book and AI tooling we use.

Why us

We have been in India since 2004, as a software house

Our own company in India

Assembly Software Solutions India, our subsidiary in Mohali, Punjab, employs the developers. There is no further intermediary between them and you.

A software house, not a staffing agency

We build systems ourselves, so we know how to assess a developer technically and we know the technologies we hire for.

We know the culture

We know what draws developers in India to join and what makes them stay, and that is what keeps your team stable.

A workable time difference

India runs on UTC+5:30: two and a half to three and a half hours ahead of Israel and three and a half to four and a half hours ahead of Central Europe, depending on the season. Most of the working day is shared.

Cost

A good developer in India typically costs about a third of an equivalent developer in Israel, and hiring through us removes the risks of employing abroad.

Information security

Assembly is ISO 27001 certified and works to procedures for access management, secrets handling and activity logging.

Would you rather we build the system end to end, with a time and budget commitment? That is software for organizations.
