How to Build a High-Performance Offshore Team in Less Than 35 Days

Offshoring has evolved far beyond cost savings. Today, the right offshore team is a growth lever enabling IT businesses to scale faster, access global talent and deliver round-the-clock value for customers.

But while the benefits are clear, many businesses still hesitate. Why? Because they fear it will take too long, be too complex, or result in a team that does not match their standards.

Here’s the truth: with the right partner, you can build a high-performance offshore team in less than 35 days without compromise.

At Dijital Team, we’ve helped over 100 MSPs/TSPs, System Integrators, and Software Development companies across Australia, the US and Europe build dedicated offshore teams in record time, and we are here to show you how.

Step-by-Step: How to Build an Offshore Team in 35 Days

Day 0: Strategy & Role Scoping

Before we even start recruiting, we align with you on:

• What roles you need (e.g., L2 Support Engineer, .NET Full-Stack Developer, Data Engineer, etc.)
• The specific skills and experience required
• The culture of your business
• Your internal processes
• What success looks like in 90 days and beyond

We translate your goals into a clear position description and recruitment brief that sets the stage for speed and precision.

Week 1: Talent Shortlisting & Interviews

Our Talent Acquisition team in Sri Lanka taps into a curated network of over 50,000 pre-vetted professionals.

We present you with a shortlist of top candidates that meet our stringent bar for skills, aptitude and communication - often within 3 to 5 business days. From there, we coordinate interviews, run additional technical assessments if needed, and assist you in finding the perfect team member.

Our difference? We focus not just on skills, but on alignment, aptitude, and accountability.

Week 2 - 4: Onboarding & Setup

Once you have found the perfect new team members, we:

• Set up contracts, payroll, and HR compliance
• Provide devices and secure work environments (ISO 27001 certified)
• Onboard staff into your systems (email, ticketing, source control, etc.)
• Align your team with our Customer Success and People & Culture teams to ensure success

By the end of this comprehensive process, your new team is fully operationally ready as soon as the team member can start.

Week 5: Go-Live

Your new offshore team members will spend their first week being onboarded:

• Shadowing your current team or support queues
• Gaining access to knowledge bases and SOPS
• Joining team meetings and stand-ups

By the end of this week, your new offshore team member is adding value to your business - with performance metrics, feedback loops, and a clear roadmap for ongoing impact.
