Practical hiring notes

Buyer Guides

Short, direct guidance for building a shortlist, testing a vendor's plan, and protecting the project before work begins.

Guide 01

How to choose a game development company

Ask for playable work that matches your platform and audience. Review who owns game design, art, engineering, backend systems, testing, launch tasks, and post-launch updates. A strong proposal should explain production risks rather than hide them.

Guide 02

How to compare app development companies

Compare the actual product team, not the agency logo. Ask how research, design, analytics, accessibility, security, testing, store submission, and maintenance are handled. Make sure account ownership and source code ownership are written into the agreement.

Guide 03

What to check before hiring an offshore development team

Meet the assigned team and agree on overlap hours, written reporting, meeting rhythm, escalation paths, and acceptance rules. Confirm where code is stored, who can access production systems, and how staff changes are managed.

Guide 04

How to avoid weak vendor selection

Do not send the same broad request to twenty companies. Build a shortlist of three to five, share the same project context, and compare the questions they ask. The best early signal is often the quality of the proposed plan.
