With the remote engineers working abroad, it is important to work on human connection. There are many ways to make people feel more connected, even when they are geographically dispersed. What exactly can you do? Allow small talk. Often some personal chit-chat fuels your employees’ confidence in each other and it energises people. Encourage out-of-office communication, online communication after work, sharing interests, arranging events and journeys, etc. It can be extremely fun to play some online game, to organise a business book club or to sing in a group karaoke. We also highly encourage to meet each other face to face!
Extend your team through our network of developers!
OUR ICT NEARSHORING SERVICES
Our developers can work as an extended team that is fully dedicated to your company.
Nearshore IT Developers
Extended part of your team!
Demand for ICT developers and solution providers is at its peak in the Netherlands and throughout Europe. As a result, hiring and recruiting have become more costly and the shortage harder to address. Thankfully, there is an answer to this problem: With IT Maatwerk as your partner, you gain access to a pool of skilled workers from a rapidly expanding ICT sector in Albania and the Western Balkans.
We can assist you by providing an extended team, remotely attached to your core in-house team of developers and is fully dedicated to your projects and company.
The Advantages of Nearshoring
- An extensive pool of qualified developers and solution providers at your service.
- Hiring extended employees has economic advantages compared to the recruitment of local in-house developers, which is far more costly.
- Flexibility, since the upscaling and downscaling of teams is much easier!
- Nearshore means it is close to the Netherlands, a mere two-hour flight from Amsterdam. This way, it is much easier for teams to meet face to face.

We can start BIG or small, one project at a time or by setting up a full team of experienced engineers
How it works?
The extended teams we provide aim to complement the in-house team, not to substitute it. They are supposed to fill in the skill gaps of the main team and to augment its overall potential.
The responsibilities and tasks are evenly spread across all team members, both in-house and nearshore. The client has full control over the process, because the extended teams are fully incorporated into the client’s team and the collaboration implies all levels of recruitment.
We can help your company to cut costs significantly. You can choose from our pool of skilled workers and you will not have to spend much time and effort on endless recruiting and training.
Difficulties and Solutions to Nearshoring
Social issues?
Communication issues?
Complete dependence on online communication tools may lead to some uncertainties or delays. However, our communication strategies can minimize these problems. We adopted the Scrum concept from the IT business, where offshoring and near-shoring are common practices. Through using the proper tools, having regular calls/meetings (standups) and having a weekly or biweekly Scrum meeting, everyone is involved and on
he the same page.
Productivity issues?
Some people are easily distracted while others are more self-motivated, but almost everyone can temporarily “fall out” of the working process. It’s just human nature. Time tracking tools, such as Time Doctor and Hubstaff, can help elevate your teams’ productivity. Besides that, we also have monthly evaluations with both clients and engineers. This way we, as Bimservice, stay in the “loop”, so we can step in on time to help when problems with productivity arise.
Security issues?
How to be indemnified from unpleasant surprises that are associated with legal aspects? The contract with Bimservice and the team contains all the rights and obligations of all parties. Aspects like info on terms, deadlines of fixing problems, making updates, and iterations are all included. A non-disclosure agreement regarding sensitive pieces of information is also included in our contracts. These measures will help you collaborate with us safely and transparently.
