1st Hiring via Ubiminds is 40 to 50% less expensive than finding talent in the US

Achieve unparalleled BPO tech recruiting success by partnering with Ubiminds, offering 40 to 50% cost savings compared to traditional talent acquisition in the US. Yes, there are pro-labore rates to be considered. Yet, outsourcing tech recruitment processes to Ubiminds impacts the way your company spends on staff management. Here’s why:

Holding operations in Latin America increases Return on Investment (ROI) by reducing payroll and added costs, without having to relinquish quality (you can learn how to make the most of distributed teams here). This is indeed reinforced by the true cost breakdown above. 

Alberto Silveira is Vice-President of Engineering for one of Ubiminds’ client companies in New York. For him, there are also added benefits in hiring engineers and other software development professionals from Brazil. Most of them revolve around code quality, as Ubiminders come from a test-driven development background.

“The bar is extremely high, I hire engineers to work with cutting-edge technology. We don’t lower the bar to hire anyone, Ubiminds meets expectations or, most likely, exceeds expectations on the talent level that we are looking for.”

It also helps that he can rely on these professionals on a long-term basis, as all team members are assigned to products, not just projects. “They like the technical challenge, no question. They are passionate about scalability and building resilient systems, that’s awesome!”. 

For him, the difference in commitment can be easily perceived. “Great engineers are connected to the mission! They need to feel connected with the value they are delivering. It’s not easy to build a remote culture, but Ubiminds has all the ingredients to make that happen.”

2nd Attrition like few: On average, Ubiminders stay in the company for 2.2 years 

The IT industry has one of the largest attrition rates in the world. A lot of this has to do with setting clear expectations from the get-go, on either side. What are you waiting for to break free from high employee turnover rates? With Ubiminds, you experience nearshore recruitment benefits, such as boasting an exceptional 2.2-year average employee tenure, a rarity in today’s fast-moving tech industry.

This is extremely beneficial, given the time necessary to ramp up new hires; also, quite a big challenge considering the dispute over talented professionals.

“When we invest those three months, six months, on an employee, we want them to stay.”, says Nathan Feger, a Houston-based Director of Software Engineering. For him, team building and support from Ubiminds are key to talent retention. Something that we feel is unique, and we’ve heard is unique, is that you feel as much as a part of the team as we can make you feel like part of our team. ” 

Nathan also mentions how he personally benefits from the partnership, hiring Brazilian tech pros via BPO. 

“The Ubiminds approach of learning how our values work, what our business goals are, how our teams work, who the people are in the team, that’s super valuable. And that’s before recruiting, through weekly meetings with the team over time.”

3rd Ubiminds’ customers improve MTTR by 40%, on average

Accelerate issue resolution and enhance productivity with Ubiminds. Witness how the transformative impact of Ubiminders reflected in an average 40% improvement in Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) for partner companies. After all, Ubiminders contribute actively to improving results, and we’re not limiting it to incident metrics like mean time to recovery, repair, respond, or resolve. There is a fair share of tangible results that go beyond product performance, too.

Nathan explains how this contributes to service delivery and also the quality of life. “Having people you can make face-to-face calls with, without having to disrupt individual family lives, to stay up super late, or stay at work super late… you can synchronously communicate, is just a way to make that a lot easier.”. 

For him, having a nearshore team in a similar time zone is much better than counting on staff across the Atlantic. The good number of overlapping working hours makes all the difference. “If we have an issue in the morning, we can meet in the mid-morning, lunchtime, something like that, then resolve that by the end of the day.” 

Nonetheless, companies that use the Ubiminds model have faster recovery time due to team engagement and accountability.

These advantages also flow into other aspects of people management, as can be seen in our next topic.
