When rehires and retraining cycles become the norm, your product roadmap doesn’t just stall—it derails.

High developer turnover means you’re constantly pouring energy into onboarding, transferring domain knowledge, and rebuilding team cohesion. But what if there was a way to break that cycle entirely?

The True Cost of Rehiring and Retraining

Even a single replacement hire can cost 50% to 250% of the employee’s annual salary, according to SHRM. But financials are only part of the problem.

Each time a team member exits, you lose:

  • Context: tribal knowledge leaves with them

  • Momentum: delivery schedules shift or stall

  • Morale: remaining teammates shoulder the burden

  • Focus: leadership spends time recruiting, not innovating

Multiply that across quarters, and you’ve got more than a resource problem—you’ve got a velocity crisis.

Common Alternatives—and Why They Fall Short

Many companies try to plug the churn gap with:

  • Freelancers: fast but hard to retain, and rarely integrated

  • Offshore contractors: time zone, cultural, or collaboration issues

  • Internal reshuffling: which often drains focus from other priorities

These quick fixes create more friction than forward motion.

Why Stable Nearshore Teams Work Better

Ubiminds helps product and engineering leaders build stable, long-term nearshore teams—not temp fixes. Our model prioritizes:

  • Talent retention: We reduce churn through selective hiring and employee experience programs.

  • Workflow fit: Engineers are integrated into your tools, rituals, and team dynamics from Day 1.

  • Cultural alignment: Time zone overlap and cultural proximity make collaboration seamless.

  • Delivery confidence: With consistency in staffing, you can confidently plan sprints and releases.

The result? A dependable core team that grows with your product—not against it.
