Hire a Dedicated Development Team
A dedicated development team is a group of full-time engineers who work only on your product, as an extension of your own team, while we handle hiring, payroll, equipment and retention. With PerfectionGeeks, you interview and approve every team member, the team works in your tools and sprints with overlap in your time zone, and you can scale up or down with 30 days' notice. Dedicated developers typically cost $3,500–$7,000 per person per month depending on seniority, and a four-person starter team runs about $14,000–$20,000 a month.

4.9/5Clutch Rating (45+ Reviews)
- Typical rates: $3,500–$7,000 per developer per month, depending on role and seniority.
- From first call to first sprint in about 1–2 weeks; you interview every engineer.
- Best for evolving roadmaps, long-term products and teams that can't hire fast enough.
- Not the best fit for short, fully defined projects; a fixed-price project is cheaper there.
- You own all code and IP; scale the team up or down with 30 days' notice.

Dedicated Team vs In-House Hiring: The Real Cost
The median annual wage for software developers in the US was $133,080 in May 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employer costs such as payroll taxes, health insurance, equipment and office space typically add 25–40% on top, and recruiting fees or internal hiring time come before the first line of code.
| Comparison | In-house US developer | Dedicated developer from PerfectionGeeks |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per month (all-in) | about $14,000–$15,500 for a median-paid developer | $3,500–$7,000 |
| Time to start | Typically 1–3 months or more to hire | 1–2 weeks |
| Recruiting cost | Agency fees or internal recruiting time | None |
| Benefits, equipment, office | Paid by you | Included |
| Scaling down | Notice periods, severance, morale impact | 30 days' notice |
| Replacement if someone leaves | Start hiring again | Our job, at no extra cost |
Dedicated Team vs Staff Augmentation vs Fixed-Price Project
| Comparison | Dedicated team | Staff augmentation | Fixed-price project | Freelancers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A full, managed team on your product | Individual engineers added to your team | A defined scope delivered for a set price | Individuals per task |
| Who manages day to day | Your product owner plus our delivery lead | You | Us | You |
| Best for | Long-term products, evolving roadmaps | Filling one or two skill gaps | Short projects with clear scope | Small, isolated tasks |
| Pricing | Monthly per person | Monthly or hourly per person | Fixed, by milestones | Hourly or per task |
| Flexibility | High: scale with 30 days' notice | High | Low: changes need change requests | High, but no continuity |
| Continuity and knowledge | High | Medium | Ends with the project | Low |

| 2. Profiles | You receive real CVs of our engineers who match your needs | Days 3–5 |
| 3. Interviews | You interview candidates, run technical tests if you like, and approve or reject each one | Days 5–8 |
| 4. Contract and access | NDA, master agreement and statement of work signed; access to your tools set up | Days 7–10 |
| 5. Onboarding | Codebase walkthrough, environment setup, first tasks and agreed KPIs | Days 10–14 |
| 6. Ongoing delivery | Sprints, demos, weekly reports and monthly reviews | From week 2 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated development team?
A group of full-time developers, designers, QA and DevOps engineers who work only on your product, as an extension of your team. The provider handles hiring, payroll, equipment and retention; you set the priorities.
How much does it cost to hire a dedicated development team?
Dedicated developers typically cost $3,500–$7,000 per person per month depending on role and seniority. A four-person starter team runs about $14,000–$20,000 a month, and a product team with a tech lead about $25,000–$35,000 a month.
How quickly can the team start?
Usually within 1–2 weeks: profiles in 3–5 days, interviews and approval, contracts and access, then onboarding and the first sprint.
Can I interview the developers?
Yes. You see real CVs, interview each candidate, run technical tests if you want, and only approved engineers join your team.
What is the difference between a dedicated team and staff augmentation?
A dedicated team is a full, managed team with its own delivery lead, working on your product long term. Staff augmentation adds individual engineers to a team you already manage, usually to fill a specific skill gap.
Who manages the dedicated team?
You or your product owner set priorities and own the backlog. Our delivery lead runs the day-to-day process, handles blockers and reports to you weekly.
What time zones do your teams work in?
Teams set their hours to overlap your business day for stand-ups and meetings, whether you're in the US, UK, Europe, the Middle East or Australia.
Can I scale the team up or down?
Yes. You can add engineers within 1–2 weeks or reduce the team with 30 days' notice.
What happens if a developer leaves or isn't a good fit?
We replace them at no extra cost and handle the knowledge handover, so your roadmap keeps moving.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. An NDA and IP assignment are signed before work starts, and the code lives in your own repositories.
Is there a minimum contract length?
We recommend at least 3 months so the team can learn your product, but there's no long lock-in: changes need 30 days' notice.
Is a dedicated team right for a short project?
Usually not. For a short project with a clear scope, a fixed-price project is cheaper and simpler. A dedicated team works best for ongoing products and changing roadmaps.
