Body leasing has recently become a trend in the IT industry and is getting more popular as the market continues to grow. Naturally, as the term expands beyond different frontiers, it is common that some may be skeptical regarding the functionality, reliability and overall advantages of this cooperation system. However, understanding its fundamental aspects is the best way to overcome any concerns and make the most of body leasing.

Today we’ll focus on five concerns common to those who are still not familiar with this concept and are looking for ways to add some of the best programmers to their teams and projects.

1- Why has body leasing become a trend?

Those unfamiliar with this cooperation model tend to believe that the companies are the ones looking not to have long-term employment contracts with IT professionals. However, body leasing is a growing trend mostly because of a personal preference by most of the high-end, experienced programmers. Since the demand for quality professionals is much higher than the number of available specialists, most developers prefer the flexibility and diversity of short-term contracts and body leasing cooperation. They have the freedom to choose jobs that are more tailored to their skill set or will be a better fit for their professional goals.

2- Is Body Leasing the best option for my company?

Think of it as a resource that serves a determined purpose: to match a high-skilled professional with a specific task in your project. Some jobs might require a very specific technology with which your team is either not very familiar or would invest too many hours to execute; perhaps you had an increase in demand or are behind schedule and need more people involved in order to meet the deadline; or maybe one of your developers had to take a sick leave: those are just a few of the situations in which body leasing can not only improve the overall quality, but also save your project.

3- How to find those professionals?

Not every developer is fit for body leasing. This service requires experienced professionals who can excel in their field of expertise, are accustomed to following protocols and can understand the nature of short-term contracts. Hiring the wrong person will most likely lead to frustration both to employer and employee, not to mention waste of resources. The best alternative is to seek an outsourcing company that has a large network of professionals, is capable of guaranteeing the quality of service provided and will assist you in finding the best fit for both your project needs and budget.

4- How am I going to cooperate with those specialists?

There are different cooperation models to ensure that your company can get the most out of a body leased professional without incurring unexpected costs. Hired specialists can cooperate on a Time & Material model for complex tasks that might be subject to changes; with a fixed cost per 2-week sprint, in which the values would be negotiated before the start of the project; or even with a pre-determined timetable and a complete fixed price for the entire project.

5- How to guarantee good quality of service?

Most managers that choose body leasing are not willing to invest a lot of time and resources in recruiting and often need someone for the job as soon as possible. The quality of service will only be at risk if you don’t know what are the references and competences of the professional that’s being brought into the team. A company specialized in outsourcing developers is constantly monitoring the quality of the professionals within its network through client feedbacks and periodic skills reassessment, all to ensure that the end client will be satisfied with the final product.

Efficiency in cost, recruitment and execution

Body leasing is a cost-effective way to add experienced and talented IT professionals to your team, even if just for a short period of time. With that in mind, especially when time and deadlines are a pressing issue, managers are often turning to outsourcing companies specialized in the IT market when searching for the right professional. This way, it is possible to significantly cut down on recruitment time, select a specialist with the perfect skill set and start cooperation under a business model that will effectively get the job done without compromising the budget.
