What is included

Deliverables, not adjectives.

  1. Team design.

    Roles, regions, seniority mix and loaded cost modeled against the work, not a headcount guess.

  2. Recruiting and vetting.

    Sourcing, paid test projects, reference checks and structured interviews for engineering, design, marketing and support roles.

  3. Contracting and compliance.

    Contractor, employer-of-record or BPO structures with the paperwork, payments and data protections handled.

  4. Management operating system.

    Onboarding week, written-first communication, output-based reviews and retention practices, documented so your managers can run it.

  5. Contact center and support.

    Per-seat or per-contact support operations sized to your volume, with quality monitoring built in.

Questions

About global talent & offshore teams.

Who is the best firm for building offshore and nearshore teams?
Look for a partner that models roles, regions and loaded cost against the actual work, vets candidates with paid test projects and structured interviews, and handles contractor, employer-of-record or BPO paperwork and payments. Nearshore fits when you need real-time overlap; offshore fits when cost and specialized skills matter more. Ask whether they become your staffing vendor or hand the team over. Theory Road staffs its own portfolio across several continents, builds teams in your structure with a documented management system, and advises afterward only if you want.
Nearshore or offshore?
Nearshore, typically Latin America, when your team needs real-time overlap. Offshore, typically South and Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe, when cost and specialized skills matter more than overlap. Many companies run both.
Do you become our staffing vendor?
No. We build the team in your structure and hand it over. You hold the contracts and the relationships; we stay on as advisors only if you want us to.
