When it comes to bringing your app or software idea to life, the choice between building an in-house team and working with a development agency like NobleNest is a significant one. Each path has its own set of pros and cons, but here’s a breakdown of why partnering with NobleNest can often be the smoother, more cost-effective, and ultimately more effective choice.
1. Big Savings, Fewer Overheads
Cost
Hiring an in-house team means accounting for salaries, benefits, and often entire management layers dedicated to overseeing the team. The costs go beyond salaries to include things like office space, equipment, and software licenses. On the other hand, partnering with NobleNest provides a straightforward, transparent fee that’s generally a fraction of the total cost of in-house. You’re paying for results without the additional overhead.
2. Get Started Faster
Time
Building an in-house team takes time. Between sourcing talent, onboarding, and training, it can be months before your team is fully operational. And should any team members leave, you’re back to square one. With NobleNest, you skip the delays and dive straight into development. We have a streamlined onboarding process, and our team is ready to go, with every role filled and expertise on tap. In the time it takes to onboard a single employee, we could have a project up and running.
3. Let Us Handle the Day-to-Day
Management
In-house teams come with a web of management responsibilities. You need managers to set goals, developers to meet them, and someone overseeing daily operations. NobleNest removes this burden. We come with our own project managers and experienced leads who handle everything from timelines to task assignments. You can focus on the big-picture business goals, knowing your project is being managed by professionals with the skills to deliver.
4. Large Agency Quality, Small Agency Attention
Expertise
NobleNest combines the expertise you’d find in a big agency with the personal attention and care of a small team. We’ve worked with startups, big brands, and everyone in between, so we bring a wealth of experience to the table. You’re not just hiring a developer—you’re getting a team with industry-specific insights, technical depth, and a dedication to quality.
5. We Deal with the Details
Headache-Free
Managing employees, especially in a highly specialized field like software development, can be a full-time job in itself. By working with NobleNest, you sidestep the common headaches of employee oversight, HR issues, and team dynamics. Instead, you get a focused, cohesive team working under one roof, dedicated to meeting your goals without adding to your daily stress.
6. Focus on Your Vision, Not HR
Commitment
In-house teams come with long-term commitments, including benefits, PTO, and the need for continual growth opportunities. While this can be great for large companies looking to build an internal team, it’s a heavy commitment for startups or businesses scaling rapidly. With NobleNest, you have the flexibility of a project-based engagement. No benefits, no long-term commitments—just quality work on demand.
7. Leave the Scaling to Us
Scale as You Need
Scaling an in-house team requires hiring, training, and managing new developers—a time-consuming and often challenging process. At NobleNest, we’re set up to scale with you. Whether your project needs one dedicated team member or a full suite of developers, we can quickly adapt, providing the resources you need without the complications of building a larger in-house team.
