How offshore IT staffing compares with managing it yourself.
You get the engineers without having to hire or employ anyone yourself. By our own estimate, managing offshore specialists on your own costs a team lead four to eight hours every week for each person. With us, those hours go back to your product, and the priorities and the code stay in your hands.

A plain provider.
The provider employs the people. Where they sit and how delivery is followed up depend on the provider and on you.

Choosing between offshore staffing companies.
With offshore IT staffing, the country sets the working hours you share and the provider decides the rest: who employs the team, where it sits and how fast you hear about a problem.
Where offshore IT staffing works best.
It works best on products that run for years: a platform with a steady backlog, an app with regular releases, or a system that needs new features and upkeep at the same time. The longer the same people stay on the code, the more of your context they carry. Specialists stay with us 3.3 years on average. It is a weaker fit for work that changes direction every few days or depends on being in the room, such as early discovery with users on site.
What to compare in software offshore staffing.
- Time zone. How many working hours you share each day, in summer and in winter.
- Setup. Whether people work from a provider office or from home, and who supplies the equipment.
- Legal footing. How the provider is registered locally, and who carries employment law.
- Follow-up. How the provider measures delivery and how often you hear from them.
- Length of stay. How long specialists usually stay, because turnover is where context gets lost.
For a breakdown, see how the monthly fee is built, and compare like with like.
Offshore staffing services or outsourcing.
Outsourcing buys a finished result: a vendor takes a scope and delivers it. Offshore staffing adds people to your own roadmap, so the priorities and the code stay with you. Either way, ask where your code and data live, who holds access and how that access is removed when someone leaves, because that is where the legal and security risk sits.
Offshore staffing services for software, not back offices.
The phrase covers a wide market, from call centres and administration to engineering. For a software product, look for offshore staffing solutions built around engineers: technical assessment before anyone joins, senior people to review the work, and a workplace set up for development. If you want specialists added to a team you already run, our page on IT staff augmentation covers that route, and IT outstaffing covers engineers who join your team while we stay the employer.
Getting started with software offshore staffing.
A good first step is small: one or two specialists on a well-defined part of the product, a shared definition of done and a weekly look at what shipped. Once that rhythm holds, adding the next role is a smaller decision. Pick work with a clear owner on your side, so the new people always know who to ask.
Offshore staffing solutions from Thailand.
Azendo is BOI-registered in Thailand, with its headquarters in Chiang Mai since 2010 and a second office in Bangkok, on the 20th floor of JL Tower. Around a hundred people work across the two offices, and every specialist is trained in AI by our Talent Success and Academy programme.
Making offshore IT staffing work across distance.
Remote teams across time zones work when the priorities are written down. Define what done means for each piece of work, keep one shared backlog, and agree which hours are for live conversation and which for focused work. Record decisions in writing as well as in calls. Done well, the time difference works for you: a question raised at the end of your day is picked up in the team's morning.
Offshore IT staffing, answered.
What is offshore IT staffing?
Offshore IT staffing gives you developers and engineers in another country who work full time on your product. With Azendo they sit in our own Chiang Mai and Bangkok offices, we employ them, and a service delivery manager runs the team with you.
How are offshore staffing services priced?
Per specialist, as one monthly fee for an agreed capacity in hours. Junior DevOps and cloud engineers start from USD 2,400, data engineers from USD 2,500 and AI engineers from USD 3,100, fully managed. Mid-level and senior people are quoted in your proposal.
Who employs the people?
We do. Azendo is the employer and handles contracts, salary, payroll, benefits and leave. The specialists are dedicated to you full time and work on your product only.
Why Thailand?
The working day overlaps with the European morning, the team sits in offices we run ourselves, and average tenure at Azendo is 3.3 years, so the people who learn your product keep working on it.
How many working hours do we share with the team?
Thailand runs on UTC+7. In summer that is five hours ahead of Northern Europe and in winter six, and Sydney is three to four hours ahead of Thailand. A European morning meets the Thai afternoon and an Australian afternoon meets the Thai morning, with room for standups and reviews every day.
Which stacks do your offshore teams work in?
Whatever yours runs on. There is no bench of people waiting for work, so we search for the stack and the level your product needs, niche ones included.
Can we begin with a small team?
Yes. A single developer or a pair is a fine start, and more roles join as your backlog grows.
Do the specialists work from home?
Some of the time. Most specialists work hybrid: they spend most of the week in our Chiang Mai and Bangkok offices and can work from home two days a week, always through a secure VPN.
Who owns the code?
You do, along with the roadmap and the priorities. The team works inside your tools, and you talk with every team member directly, usually every day on Slack or Teams.
