Frequently asked questions

 TaaS stands for Team as a Service: a flexible and scalable way to deploy a dedicated development team. Instead of hiring freelancers or expensive agencies, you get a fully managed team that integrates seamlessly with your organization — including recruitment, onboarding, project management, and compliance.

We start with a needs assessment to understand your technology stack, team size, and desired collaboration style. Then we assemble a tailored team that can be up and running in 2 to 4 weeks. The TaaS Company handles recruitment, onboarding, and all operational matters—HR, payroll, IT setup, compliance, and coordination. Your team works full-time and exclusively for you, participating in your sprints, stand-ups, and delivery cycles as if they were physically present in your office.

Traditional outsourcing is often task-oriented, short-term, and remote in nature. TaaS, on the other hand, is designed for long-term collaboration, deeper cultural integration, and full transparency. TaaS teams are dedicated, meaning they focus solely on your goals and ways of working. You keep control of the roadmap while we take care of all operational, legal, and HR overhead. It’s a hybrid between freelance, in-house, and nearshore models — combining the strengths of each.

Yes. TaaS is ideal for a wide range of businesses — from fast-growing startups that need to scale quickly, to established companies or agencies looking to extend their capacity. Its modular nature allows you to start small and expand as needed. It’s especially effective for product development, innovation initiatives, and situations where time-to-market and flexibility are critical.

You can hire virtually any digital role through TaaS: frontend and backend developers (React, Node.js, PHP, Java, etc.), mobile developers (Flutter, React Native), DevOps engineers, QA specialists, product owners, UX/UI designers, and tech leads. We maintain a vetted talent pool and match based on your technical and cultural preferences.

Hiring locally involves high costs, long recruitment timelines, and legal complexity. You have to source candidates, interview, onboard, and handle everything from payroll to IT equipment. TaaS eliminates these burdens. We provide proven professionals who are ready to contribute immediately, without long onboarding processes. You reduce time-to-productivity, minimize hiring risk, and avoid hidden costs.

Depending on your needs, we can deploy a team in 2 to 4 weeks. We begin with a strategic intake, propose matching profiles, schedule interviews, and coordinate onboarding. Thanks to our talent network in Turkey, we move fast and efficiently. Once the team is assembled, they’re embedded in your tools, communication channels, and development cycle—ready to deliver from day one.

We only work with experienced developers—typically 5+ years in their specialty—who have already collaborated with international clients. Performance is continuously monitored, and we hold regular feedback sessions to ensure alignment. If someone drops out (rare but possible), we guarantee a smooth handover or fast replacement. Dedicated team leads and operational support staff ensure long-term continuity and consistent delivery.

TaaS is designed to be both. It can support short-term product sprints or serve as a long-term, strategic extension of your in-house capabilities. The modular structure allows you to scale up or down based on your roadmap. Many clients start with a 3-month engagement, and then decide to extend or make the team a core part of their operations.

Absolutely. Our teams are well-versed in agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban. They participate in daily stand-ups, sprint plannings, demos, and retrospectives—using your tools and workflows. We ensure team members have experience with remote agile environments and integrate smoothly into your processes, using tools like Jira, Confluence, Linear, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.

Communication happens through your preferred channels—Slack, MS Teams, Google Meet, or others. Our teams sync with your daily updates, sprint meetings, and communication style. We encourage direct communication between your internal staff and our developers. If desired, we can provide a dedicated Dutch-speaking point of contact to streamline coordination and support.

You decide. You can manage the team yourself—e.g., via your CTO or product owner—or opt for shared leadership. In the latter case, we provide a team lead or delivery manager who handles internal coordination, progress tracking, and stakeholder updates. This hybrid approach ensures oversight without increasing your internal management load.

Yes. Flexibility is a core principle of TaaS. We don’t lock you into rigid contract structures. If you need to scale up after an MVP or down after a delivery phase, you can do so with minimal friction. We typically require one month’s notice to ensure proper knowledge transfer and workload reallocation.

Onboarding is structured and tailored to your workflow. We set up access to your systems, tools, documentation, and repositories. A kickoff session helps align goals and expectations. Our goal is to ensure the team is not only technically ready but also aligned with your company culture and way of working from the outset.

Definitely. Most clients combine their in-house capabilities with a TaaS team. Our developers work directly in your repos, join your meetings, and contribute to shared goals. This setup enhances knowledge exchange, accelerates delivery, and ensures both teams operate as one.

Yes. We fully comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All team members are under contract with NDAs, data protection clauses, and access controls. We provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), and ensure all systems and communication tools are secure and certified. Your data remains your property at all times.

All software, code, and documentation produced by our teams is 100% your intellectual property. This is clearly stated in our contracts and supported by legal safeguards such as NDAs, IP transfer clauses, and secure handovers. You retain full ownership of deliverables at all times.

We implement multilayered security protocols. Team members use secure devices, VPNs, access-controlled environments, and 2FA authentication. No local data storage is allowed, and all activity takes place within controlled and monitored systems. Regular audits and internal checks ensure continuous data integrity and protection.

Yes. We provide all necessary legal documentation: service level agreements (SLAs), data processing agreements (DPAs), NDAs, and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for international data transfers. We’re also happy to coordinate with your legal counsel for custom clauses or sector-specific requirements.

Although Turkey is not an EU member state, we ensure compliance by applying EU-level standards across all operations. This includes signing SCCs for international data transfers, using EU-hosted infrastructure where needed, and enforcing GDPR-equivalent procedures on-site. We take a proactive stance on privacy and security in all jurisdictions.

Monthly costs depend on role, seniority, and team size, but are usually 30–50% lower than local hiring or agency rates. We always provide a clear, detailed offer with no hidden fees or markups.

The monthly fee includes everything: recruitment, HR, payroll, social security, IT infrastructure, onboarding, legal compliance, and management. There are no hourly charges or additional costs. You get predictable budgeting, full transparency, and maximum focus on value creation.

Yes. Digital agencies typically charge between €90 and €140 per hour and spread their resources across clients. TaaS gives you a dedicated team working full-time on your goals—at a fixed monthly rate. This results in significantly lower costs, more consistent delivery, and better alignment.

ROI comes from multiple angles: faster product delivery, lower staffing costs, better predictability, and a scalable team that grows with your business. You avoid the risk of hiring delays, skill mismatches, or talent turnover. We also support periodic performance reviews so you can measure business impact and team effectiveness.

We do not charge any setup fees, unless there are exceptional requests such as on-site onboarding or custom tooling requirements. For project-based outsourcing, there is no minimum commitment period. For dedicated teams, we require a minimum term of three months to ensure quality delivery and allow for stable team dynamics to develop. After this initial period, you can scale up or cancel on a monthly basis. Everything is designed to support long-term collaboration with maximum flexibility.
