Offshore hiring and vendor selection - without getting burned
A quick preflight check before you start vendor talks, so you move faster, avoid common traps, and don’t end up with “A-team in the pitch, B-team in delivery”.
Who am I?
I've worked with remote engineering across EU/Eastern Europe, with perspective from both the buyer side and the delivery/operations side. That gives me a realistic view of common failure modes - and what to check early, before time and trust get burned.
What I can help with
- Vetting vendors without getting “sold” - spot risks early and avoid wasted cycles
- Evaluating partner fit - questions to ask, red flags to watch, and what “good” looks like in delivery
- Aligning expectations upfront - scope, communication, accountability (so you don’t lose weeks to misunderstandings)
- EU/Eastern Europe context that matters - pricing norms, seniority signals, and how to avoid mismatch
Ground rules
- • This is a private advisory conversation, not a sales call
- • You’ll get a clear risk check: what to ask, what to watch, what to check
- • Confidential by default. I don’t share your context or names.
- • You’ll leave with clarity and a concrete angle - what to verify, and what to avoid.

You bring the plan. I help you stress-test it and spot blind spots before you commit.
