What work can your offshore team handle?

Start with recurring responsibilities and the decisions your team needs to review. These examples help you define the brief.

Software Delivery

Turn scoped tickets into code, tests and reviewable changes. Your technical lead sets priorities and accepts the work before it reaches production.

Quality and Integrations

Reproduce defects, maintain test coverage and document integration behaviour. Route architecture decisions and deployment approvals to the people who own your systems.

Technical Customer Support

Investigate product enquiries using approved diagnostics and knowledge articles. Escalate incidents with reproduction steps, impact and the information engineering needs.

Establishing a Philippine Engineering Team

Adaca embedded a dedicated engineering team at Infomedia, establishing Philippine development capability for its automotive software business.

That experience is directly relevant to recruiting technical people who work within an existing product team.

Clear Access. Clear Approvals.

Your business owns the roadmap, architecture decisions and release approval. Agree incident coverage separately; recruiting one person does not establish a 24-hour support roster.

Your Systems and Review Points

Specify repositories, cloud environments, development tools and ticketing systems. Prepare a development environment and agree production permissions, code review and release ownership.

ISO 27001-Certified Operations

Covela’s staffing service is covered by ISO 27001 certification. Agree the information each role needs, the access you authorise and the review and escalation requirements before onboarding.

Questions About Your Information Technology Team

Scope the role before recruitment, so everyone knows what the person will own and when to ask for guidance.

Can you recruit for our existing technology stack?

Include the languages, frameworks, infrastructure and level of ownership in your brief. Covela assesses the experience required and combines AI assistance with human review when evaluating candidates.

Will the engineer report to our technical lead?

Your business directs daily work. Name the technical lead, define review expectations and agree how the person participates in planning, code review and team communication.

Who manages the person’s daily work?

Your business sets priorities, gives instructions and reviews the work. Covela recruits and employs your people, handles payroll and HR, and coordinates ongoing people support.

How long does recruitment take?

We assess your brief and provide candidate profiles within 48 hours. Hiring generally takes around two weeks, assuming two to three interview rounds and candidate refinement. The person may then start immediately or up to four weeks later, depending on their notice period.
