IT talent shortage? Scale nearshore.

The IT talent shortage hits the DACH region especially hard: according to Bitkom, over 149,000 IT positions remain unfilled, and the trend is rising. Senior profiles in areas like cloud, data engineering and platform development are most affected — vacancies stay open for 4–6 months, and projects slip quarter by quarter.

Nearshore unlocks an EU talent pool of 500,000+ IT professionals in countries like Romania, Bulgaria and Poland. Unlike offshore, nearshore offers EU time zones (max 1–2 h difference), cultural proximity and GDPR compliance without third-country transfers. Unlike freelancers, it delivers continuity, team structure and scalability.

With a dedicated nearshore team you add capacity in weeks instead of months — senior, German-speaking coordination and GDPR-compliant. No recruiting, no probation, no months of onboarding: our established teams have already proven the tech stacks you need in production.

Our nearshore teams cover the most in-demand profiles: full-stack engineering (React, Node.js, .NET, Java), cloud & DevOps (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes), data engineering & BI, mobile development and QA/test automation. All teams work with modern toolchains — Git, CI/CD, containers, IaC — and work directly within your existing infrastructure.
