Compare the options
The Human Nexus model compared.
Hiring developers offshore is not new. The failure points are usually the same: no management layer, no continuity, no accountability when something goes wrong.
| Criteria | Local developer | Freelancer marketplace | Human Nexus offshore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | AUD $80 to $160/hr or $130k+ salary | Variable, no continuity | AUD $22 to $55/hr, fixed inclusive |
| Recruitment time | 8 to 16 weeks | 1 to 3 days | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Technical vetting | Your responsibility | Platform ratings only | Stack-specific assessment |
| IP ownership | Requires explicit written assignment | Often unclear | Written assignment in every engagement |
| Physical workspace | Your office | Uncontrolled | Managed HN office |
| Continuity | High churn, high cost | Project-based, no loyalty | Dedicated team member |
| Your management overhead | High | Very high | Low |
| Australian account manager | No | No | Yes, included |
