There are many key roles on a software development team that extend beyond the engineers and developers themselves. Project managers, architects, and front-end developers play an important role in tech companies accomplishing their goals.
The exponential growth of the tech industry in recent years and the increase in software development has made it increasingly difficult for tech companies to find talented individuals to join their teams. Emerging markets like Central Asia and other parts of the world open the door to a deeper and more diverse talent pool of project managers, architects and frontend devs.
We hope that this breakdown of why you may want to hire remotely for key roles, like PM, architect, and frontend devs will help open your eyes to the untapped potential of global hiring with the help of Truss and our global hiring platform.

Why Hire Remote Project Managers, Architects, and Frontend Developers
Why? Why should you choose to hire remote employees for your tech company? Why not hire a local project manager or developer? A global remote team provides companies with a wealth of benefits, including a deeper talent pool and reduced costs, with few drawbacks that will impact project goals.
Here is a closer look at key reasons why you may want to hire remotely for key roles on your development team:
Access to a Deeper Talent Pool
When you expand your search for tech talent to include emerging markets like Central Asia and the region, you will have access to a deeper talent pool. For example — there are an estimated 26 million to 28 million frontend developers across the globe and only a fraction of that in the United States. The expansion of the tech industry on a global scale has meant the expansion of tech-focused education in many countries like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Georgia where they have implemented government-funded tech education programs to drive tech growth in their countries with the help of foreign investment. This translates to a higher level of talent available in these markets.
Reduced Costs
A key benefit of hiring remote talent in key roles across the globe are the lower employment costs. Lower salaries, exchange rates, and other financial factors often make it more affordable for tech companies to hire remote, global talent — without sacrificing talent or skill. For example — the estimated annual salary for a frontend developer in the United States is $110,000 USD on ZipRecruiter and $119,000 on Indeed. The estimated annual salary of a frontend developer in Uzbekistan in Central Asia is $45,000 USD per year.
Increased Productivity
When tech companies hire remote talent for key roles, there is always a concern about productivity — but you can have peace of mind. A variety of studies have shown that remote workers are more productive than those who work in an office by as much as 30% to 35%. This is a result of fewer disruptions and interruptions, no long commutes, greater autonomy for remote workers, increased flexibility, and a higher degree of satisfaction due to an improved work-life balance.
Added Flexibility
An added advantage of hiring a remote team is the added flexibility it provides for tech companies. Remote project managers, architects, and frontend developers have the ability to work more flexible hours, and when in a different time zone can provide increased support for clients and other developers. This flexibility also makes it easier for tech companies to meet deadlines and complete projects faster.
