How to hire IT specialists from India – step by step

Why choose specialists in India?

India has one of the world’s largest pools of IT talent. You will find specialists in modern development, data and AI – and also in business-critical systems such as SAP, Oracle, IBM Mainframe and COBOL, where expertise is hard to find in the Nordics.

• Access to skills that are missing locally
• Cost-effective compared with equivalent roles in the Nordics
• Easy to start with one person and grow as needed
• English as the working language

How the setup with Co-Worker works

The consultants are employed by our own Indian company, Innovacore India Private Limited in Nagpur. You do not need to establish a company or take on employer responsibility in India.

You sign your contract with Co-Worker in the Nordics – Nordic contract terms, one contact person and one invoice. We recruit each consultant for your assignment – not from a bench of available consultants – and the consultant works as part of your team, with your tools and routines.

Step by step

1. Needs analysisWe go through the assignment, the team and the skills required.
2. Requirements profileTogether we create a clear requirements profile for the role.
3. First shortlist within 24–48 hoursOur sourcing team normally presents the first candidates within one to two days.
4. Interviews and selectionYou interview and choose the candidate who fits best.
5. Contract and startWe handle employment and contracts. You give system access and introduce the consultant to the team.
6. Follow-upWe follow up continuously with both you and the consultant.

Time zone and collaboration

India is in time zone UTC+5:30 – 4.5 hours ahead of Central European Time and 3.5 hours ahead of Central European Summer Time. The consultant’s working day overlaps with your morning and early afternoon, and working hours can be adjusted so the team has shared time for meetings and check-ins.

Security, data protection and contracts

The assignment is governed by a contract with clear terms on confidentiality, IT security and data protection. Co-Worker has policies covering GDPR and cybersecurity, among others, and you decide which systems and data the consultant can access.

When is Remote IT India a good fit – and when not?

The setup works best for roles that can be done remotely, such as software development, testing, operations and maintenance, data analysis and AI. If the role requires physical presence, for example in a lab or production, and you do not have your own office or lab in India, international recruitment to the Nordics is often a better option.
