I have been impressed with the demand for companies wanting to outsource. I think the healthy economy and low unemployment rate has truly contributed to the need for outsourcing. Employers are having a hard time finding skilled local talent and are having to go out-of-state or out-of-country.
The recruiting processes takes time and costs money. Employers are justifying the investment and starting outsourcing projects to mitigate the risks of not finding local resources and to experiment with outsourcing, which they hope will eventually lower their costs. When you are paying a head hunter and recruiting services thousands of dollars to find you a good developer, it becomes easy to justify a pilot project that costs thousands of dollars for several skilled developers in India who can get your business where it needs to be when it needs to be.
Because of the market demand for outsourcing, make sure to act fast on securing good development resources. Outsourcing companies are running out of resources. If you are doing business with a company in a geographic region that does not have a large talent pool, then you may get stuck as you try to expand. So make sure your outsourcing partner is established in a region with plenty of resources.
