Everything our IT outstaffing services include.
Our IT outstaffing services come fully managed. We stay the employer and manage the developers day to day, in our offices and on premium equipment. A service delivery manager takes your feedback on the team and turns it into a plan for training and coaching. Our Talent Success and Academy programme then coaches and trains every team member, all year round. You get the output of a dedicated software team without managing one.
“We are 100% committed in a partnership. We go above and beyond, which is why we can say that it is truly a managed service we offer.”

IT outstaffing, plain or fully managed.
Plain outstaffing makes the provider the employer and leaves the daily managing to you. By our estimate, that is four to eight hours of your week for every developer. With Azendo, we manage the people and our Talent Success team coaches them, while you decide what gets built.
| Your own entity | Plain outstaffing | Employed by Azendo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal employer | You, through your own company abroad | The provider | Azendo, in Thailand |
| Payroll, benefits and leave | You | The provider | Our HR team, in Thailand, every month |
| Daily management | You | You | We manage the people, you direct the work |
| Career growth | You | Depends on the provider | Talent Success and tailored coaching |
| How you pay | Salaries plus entity costs | A provider's monthly rate | One fixed monthly fee for agreed hours |
Employed by Azendo.
Azendo employs the people in Thailand, runs payroll and leave, and coaches them. A service delivery manager looks after you and the team, for one fixed monthly fee.
Plain outstaffing.
The provider holds the contracts and pays the salaries. Leading the people and their growth stays with you.
Your own entity.
You open a company abroad, employ the people under local law and manage them yourself.
Azendo delivered great service. The team developed SaaS platforms that support all-in-one digital fire safety solutions, delivering the web app alongside native iOS and Android apps. The system centralizes fire plans, drawings, legal requirements, ownership mapping, and much more. Workflows were designed around how construction teams, facility managers, and technicians actually operate on-site, streamlining what was previously scattered across paper and disconnected systems.
Morten Kjærgaard MyrupManaging director, E-fire 
We were initially skeptical about the outsourcing industry, but our experience with Azendo, along with their level of competence and professionalism, has completely changed our perspective. We have successfully collaborated with Azendo on several projects over the past 2 years.

How to pick an IT outstaffing company.
IT outstaffing lets you hire engineers offshore without opening an entity or running payroll abroad. The provider you choose then decides how much of the rest is still your work.
IT outstaffing, outsourcing and hiring in-house.
With outsourcing, a vendor delivers a scope and its people stay outside your team. Hiring in-house puts the people in your team, and leaves you with the recruitment, the contracts and a company abroad. With IT outstaffing the engineers work in your sprints and your channels, while we stay their employer and look after their workplace and training. Our guide to IT outsourcing explains the vendor route. If you'd rather add engineers to a team you already run, our IT staff augmentation page shows how that works.
Where IT outstaffing from Thailand fits your day.
Thai time is UTC+7. In summer the team works five hours ahead of Northern Europe, in winter six. Your morning standup lands in their afternoon, and part of the work is done before your day starts. For a team in Sydney, the Thai day starts three to four hours later, so the Thai morning overlaps with the Sydney afternoon.
Questions to ask an IT outstaffing company.
- Who signs the employment contracts, and in which country?
- Who handles performance, coaching and career growth?
- Who manages the people day to day, you or the provider?
- What is included in the monthly price, and what is not?
- How fast can a role be added, and how is a replacement handled?
The line-by-line version is on our pricing page: how the monthly fee is built.
Developer outstaffing for product teams.
Developer outstaffing pays off when the same people can stay on the same code for a long time. They learn the product, its shortcuts and the history behind its decisions, and that knowledge is hard to rebuild each time someone new arrives. The average Azendo developer stays 3.3 years.
The first month of IT outstaffing.
Week one is access: tools, repositories, the backlog and the people to ask. From there it's real tickets, shipped and reviewed, so both sides see the pace before the team grows.
What to know about IT outstaffing services.
How do IT outstaffing services work?
IT outstaffing services give you developers who work full time in your team while the provider stays their employer. With Azendo, the people are managed too. Your service delivery manager checks in with you every two weeks, and the developers sit in our Chiang Mai and Bangkok offices. Azendo has done this from Thailand since 2010.
What does the monthly fee for IT outstaffing cover?
Salary, payroll, benefits and leave, the desk and equipment in our offices, coaching and a service delivery manager. A junior developer costs from USD 2,200 a month and a junior QA engineer from USD 2,100, with mid-level, senior and lead roles priced in your proposal.
Who is the employer?
We are. Every person we assign has an employment contract with Azendo in Thailand, and our HR team runs salary, payroll, benefits and leave. Each developer works full time on your product and nothing else.
Is IT outstaffing the same as an employer of record?
No. An employer of record takes on the employment contract and payroll, and the rest stays with you. Our IT outstaffing services also give the team a desk in our offices, a service delivery manager and coaching tailored to each developer.
Can you find developers for a niche stack?
Usually, yes. Because we hire for each team instead of placing whoever is free, a rare framework or an older language simply becomes the search brief.
Can we outstaff a single developer?
Yes. Start with one developer and add the next when the work calls for it.
Do we need a company in Thailand?
No. One agreement with Azendo is enough. Azendo is the employer in Thailand, so nothing has to be set up in your name.
Who owns the code and the work?
You do. Azendo employs the developers, and the code they write is yours, along with the product and its priorities. You also work with each developer directly, on most days in Slack or Teams.
How do you keep outstaffed developers motivated?
By investing in their career and their workplace. Each developer has a Talent Success manager and a development plan with skill and career goals, renewed every quarter, with coaching tailored to it. They also get a 360-degree review every quarter, and the offices run team events through the year.
