In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, businesses must balance growing software demands with cost efficiency. Traditional staffing often falls short, leading many to co-sourcing. Since 2018, TechPods’ transparent model has helped companies scale engineering teams while cutting costs and boosting flexibility.

Co-sourcing, a hybrid of outsourcing and in-house development, offers agility and cost-effectiveness. Unlike traditional outsourcing, it keeps control and collaboration, giving companies access to skilled talent managed like full-time employees.


Co-Sourcing Model

Co-Sourcing is not Outsourcing

Traditional outsourcing often lacks transparency and partnership. It usually treats development as a transactional commodity. Co-sourcing on the other side is a strategic model built on integration, stability, and mutual success.

Control & Management
Co-SourcingHigh. You retain strategic control and manage the team directly, just like your in-house team.
OutsourcingLow. Management is handled by the vendor; control over processes and talent is limited.
Transparency
Co-SourcingComplete. Full transparency on salaries, costs, and team structure. They are an open extension of your business.
OutsourcingLow. Costs are bundled into opaque service fees, and talent visibility is often restricted.
Integration
Co-SourcingSeamless. Teams are built for cultural alignment, work exclusively for you, and use your tools and processes.
OutsourcingTransactional. Teams often work across multiple projects and are siloed from your core business.
Talent Stability
Co-SourcingHigh. Focus on long-term retention and building a stable, dedicated team.
OutsourcingLow. High talent rotation and risk of knowledge drain.
Focus
Co-SourcingPartnership & long-term growth.

How it works

Our process is designed to be agile and transparent, ensuring a seamless transition from defining your needs to hitting your first milestones.

Is Co-Sourcing the right fit for you?

Co-sourcing suits teams that want the control of an in-house hire without building a local presence for it. These are the two situations we are asked for most often.

Fast-growing scale-ups

You need to expand your engineering capacity quickly without the overhead of local recruitment. We provide the stability of a dedicated team that integrates directly into your culture, so you can focus on reaching your next milestone.

Established enterprises

You are looking to modernise legacy systems or launch new digital products cost-efficiently. Our model gives you access to top-tier talent in Bulgaria while we handle the administrative, legal and operational complexities.
