uSoftware offers a professional and transparent service that recruits Eastern European programming talents for your specific needs, organizes the team’s operations, and transfers ownership to your company. It is known as the Build-Operate-Transfer model, which puts an entirely different spin on traditional outsourcing. While our initial recruiting and setup phase may take a little longer than a standard agency approach as we make custom hires for every particular company and don’t keep engineers on the bench, the teams that we build are yours. You never run the risk of us transferring them to another group. Your talent! Your IP! Your team! We match engineers and product companies negotiate their compensation directly, choose a custom set up of collaboration, and often receive equity and stock options, like any local engineer in San Francisco, Dubai, London, or Tel Aviv.
