Question 1

What is IT outsourcing and how does Neoshore approach it?

Accepted Answer

IT outsourcing involves entrusting all or part of your development, testing or project management needs to an external partner. Neoshore stands out with its centres of excellence model in Madagascar, Tunisia and Mauritius: your consultants work from our offices, supervised by our HR and technical teams, with weekly follow-ups and direct communication with your teams. This isn't freelancing — it's a stable extension of your team.

Question 2

How much does an offshore developer cost compared to hiring locally in France?

Accepted Answer

On average, a Neoshore consultant costs 50 to 60% less than an equivalent permanent hire in France or Belgium, all charges included. This rate covers the consultant's salary, HR supervision, offices, equipment and technical follow-up. You get quality comparable to a permanent employee without the recruitment constraints, administrative burden or turnover risks.

Question 3

What is the difference between a dedicated offshore team and freelancing?

Accepted Answer

A freelancer works independently, often on multiple projects simultaneously, with high availability and turnover risks. At Neoshore, your consultants are exclusively dedicated to your project, work from our offices with technical and HR supervision, and benefit from a career plan that ensures their retention. Our turnover rate is below 1%, compared to an average of 20-30% in IT freelancing.

Question 4

How does Neoshore ensure consultant stability and low turnover?

Accepted Answer

Our turnover rate of less than 1% is built on three pillars: a competitive salary policy in each country (top 20% of the local market), a stimulating work environment in our centres of excellence (modern offices, continuous training, team events), and a genuine career plan for each consultant. We invest for the long term, which translates into an average experience of 7 years for our consultants.

Question 5

What IT profiles can be recruited through Neoshore?

Accepted Answer

We cover the full IT spectrum: fullstack developers (React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Java, .NET, Python), mobile developers (React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin), DevOps and Cloud engineers (AWS, Azure, GCP), QA testers (automation, Selenium, Cypress), data scientists and ML engineers, project managers and Scrum Masters. We also offer operational support profiles: accountants, executive assistants and customer support agents.

Question 6

How does the hybrid model (offshore + on-site) work?

Accepted Answer

The hybrid model combines the best of both worlds: your consultants primarily work from our centres of excellence (optimised cost), with occasional travel to your European site for critical phases (kick-off, scoping workshops, sprint reviews). Our offices in Paris and Brussels facilitate coordination. This model is ideal for projects requiring strong collaboration while controlling costs.

Question 7

What are the advantages of centres of excellence in Madagascar and Mauritius?

Accepted Answer

Madagascar and Mauritius offer a pool of high-level French-speaking IT talent (minimum Master's degree), trained at partner universities. The time zone (GMT+3) allows 6-7 hours of overlap with Europe, facilitating real-time collaboration. Local cost of living enables very attractive salaries for talent while remaining 50-60% cheaper than Europe. Tunisia complements our setup with a time zone identical to Europe (GMT+1).

Question 8

How quickly can a Neoshore consultant be integrated into my team?

Accepted Answer

Our recruitment and integration process takes an average of 3 weeks, from initial brief to consultant onboarding. This includes technical scoping with our CTO, sourcing and pre-selection, technical tests, interviews with your teams and integration. For profiles already available in our talent pool (the 'Bench'), this timeline can be reduced to 1-2 weeks.

Question 9

Does Neoshore offer local recruitment in Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our 'Local Recruitment' offering is a targeted executive search service in France, Belgium and Europe. We identify and approach strategic profiles that you can't find through traditional channels. This service complements our offshore offering: some positions require a permanent physical presence, and we help you fill them with the same quality standards.

Question 10

How does Neoshore train its consultants in AI and new technologies?

Accepted Answer

We continuously invest in training our teams. Each consultant has an annual training budget and access to e-learning platforms (Udemy, Coursera, etc.). We organise internal upskilling sessions on AI (prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, AI agents), cloud and modern architectures. Our partnerships with local universities also allow us to recruit profiles already trained in the latest technologies.
