How to choose an IT contractor so you don't regret it later?

Before looking for a contractor, define your goals. What tasks should your project solve? What outcomes are you expecting? Without a clear understanding of your needs, the search becomes a lottery.

• Reviews

Read what other clients say about them. Want to know more? Conduct a brief interview (oops, we mean conversation) with former clients to learn all the details.

• Work format

Do they charge by the hour or set fixed terms? Decide what's more convenient for you. We're always pro-flexibility!

• Price

Compare prices, but remember: cheap contractors aren't usually good contractors. Sometimes it's better to pay more and avoid regrets later.

• Implementation timeline

Compare the timelines offered by various companies with your deadlines. Our team typically completes projects within 3-4 months.

• Monitoring

Progress Keep an eye on the work being done, like an overseer on a construction site. It's essential to see progress and make adjustments as necessary.

• Compare them thoroughly

Create a table and analyze who fits best. Evaluate their experience, reputation, and budget compliance.

• Risk assessment

Discuss the risks and think about how to hedge against them. Be able to plan ahead so you don't end up empty-handed later.

• Contract

Check the contract for all important points. If necessary, consult with a lawyer to avoid signing something blindly.

• Communication

Communicate regularly with your contractor to avoid surprises. We use Scrum methodology and meet every two weeks—we recommend you do the same.

• Quality Control

Continuously check that everything meets your requirements. Don’t hesitate to make corrections.

• Changes and Support

If the project requires changes, suggest them confidently. Training and support after completion are crucial for a successful transition to new systems.

1. Lack of clear understanding of one's needs.
Conduct an audit, define goals, and don’t rush into things headfirst.

2. Unclear expectations.Specify all requirements in the contract.
Consider possible changes.

3. No verification of the contractor.
Study the portfolio and reviews; don’t be lazy.

4. Ignoring expert advice.
Listen to those who know what they're doing.

5. Focus only on price.
A balance between cost and quality is key to success.
