HIRE VETTED IT TEAMS FOR GOOD
We recruit, train, and employ vulnerable talent in the MENA region.
Industry partners get vetted, highly specialized teams of three:
One senior team lead, supported by two vulnerable juniors.
BACKGROUND
Remotecoders is a spin-off of Powercoders, a coding academy and IT job integration program built in Switzerland.
Powercoders has successfully placed hundreds of immigrants with European IT companies. But only the ones who made it to Europe in the first place.
Remotecoders was created to migrate European IT job opportunities to the Middle East and North Africa instead of forcing people to migrate the other way around.
CHALLENGES
Europe faces two major challenges - and they are two sides of the same coin.
-
Migration: Vulnerable people in the MENA region often don’t have access to the remote IT job market. Therefore many decide to migrate to Europe.
-
Digitalization: The European IT industry is short on talent on every level. At the same time, COVID-19 has established remote work as the new default for many businesses.
SOLUTION & JOURNEY
Our solution is designed to offer companies vetted, highly specialized remote teams. Each team includes a senior leader and 2-3 vulnerable juniors.
Our process is as follows:
COST
The Powercoders pilot program in Cairo, Egypt, is scheduled to take place from January to June 2023. It will allow companies to acquire a highly motivated, small remote team with little effort and test drive the solution for six months.
Thanks to generous support from the Swiss government and multiple foundations, the total cost for a team of 3 - 4 FTE is only CHF 30'000.
MAKE IT A SUCCESS
We are determined to get you the best remote team possible. Teams are hired locally and led on-site by an experienced senior.
To make "IT Nearshoring for Good" a success, IT partners play a crucial role. Here's how to make it work from your side:
-
Be organized remotely as a customer
-
Provide enough human resources to develop the partnership, especially in the beginning
-
Organize visits to the remote team
-
Develop a feedback culture
-
Reward outstanding performance
