Welcome to Hardpoint IT Technology Solutions

You have more work than your IT Specialists can handle. You need help to get the work done quickly and to the quality you expect, and you wouldn’t say no to a 40-60% cost saving either. HardPoint’s core offering meets this need. We call it the Client Own Software Development Team. It’s a group of as many skilled IT professionals, as you need hand-picked, built into a team, integrated into your team, and housed just across the table from you in Eastern Europe. Just like your own staff they can work according to your business hours and in accordance with your policies and when your team is set up they’re focused solely on meeting your project goals.

Why Nearshoring in the Ukraine?

Don’t worry, nearshoring is not a big risk to time or quality at the benefit of cost. We’re based primarily in the Ukraine which has one of the highest IT industry growth rates in Central or Eastern Europe. Over 30,000 IT graduates arrive onto the workforce each year from a Higher Education system that dates back to the 16th Century. You’ll also be getting access to the most talented and motivated candidates. As there’s only a small domestic IT industry, working with European partner companies is seen as a prestigious, economically advantageous career choice within the Ukraine. The Ukraine’s also close in geography, culture, and time, helping you to avoid the ‘lost in translation’ downside experienced by so many who leapt into offshoring.

Our skilled HR team finds the best team extension solution for your needs while you stay in control of the costs. HardPoint simply invoices you for the employee salary and our service fee. You save 40 to 60 percent of your total budget - even when the economy shifts down all over the world. Thus you have your own in-house IT specialists simply sitting in Ukraine but for a significantly lower cost and less administrative nuisances.

Why Simferopol?

Within the Ukraine Simferopol has always been a cultural, political and educational centre. It has one of the Ukraine’s leading universities and is a desirable place to live, yet with 40% lower wages than Kiev. A benefit we can pass on to you.

Why HardPoint?

Quite simply, we’re good at this. At HardPoint we have experience of successfully setting up and managing remote working relationships, and maintaining cohesion within geographically distributed teams. Our database of IT specialists is large enough for us to be able to find specific skills and set up teams in a short time frame.

With your input we can find, select and hire the best professionals for your team. This includes consulting on your requirements, head hunting the right staff, conducting first interviews, knowledge and skills testing, then reporting back to you. We’ll then organize an online interview with shortlisted candidates and hire those chosen including all contractual work and signing of NDAs.

We then provide team members with everything they need from internet access, workstations, phones, chairs and desk in our office, the required video and audio conferencing facilities, computers, work from home facilities, to backup space for their work. All this can happen in as little as six weeks from your initial contact. Faster than you thought?

We’ll then oversee the day to day operation and administration of your team as they work with you to complete your software development projects. This includes best practice sharing between Client Own Teams, comprehensive HR and Performance Management.
