Hi,
I have a reasonably young software/technology company with all my development currently being done offshore. We have one major client already and within the next 3-6 months I expect to close a large number of other clients. Some will be based in Dublin, but a lot of the clients will be spread around various population centres around the country.
I now need to prepare for resourcing deployments to these potential clients, and rather than expanding the offshore team, I want to add 1-2 staff here in Ireland.
I have noticed on surfing a few of the sites a large disparity between salaries offerred to similarly specc'd roles, and I am unsure how I should approach the recruitment process.
I do not need people with much experience, because the offshore developers are very experienced and can be parachuted in for complex issues, and are always available. I have advertised with the colleges already in their graduate sections to no avail (out of 10 applications, the only one from an EU citizen was from someone still living in Poland).
Should I bite the bullet and go with an agency such as computerfutures, stelfox or similar? If so what agency would you recommend?
