Daxx Model VS Developer Hiring Platforms

Daxx in comparison with other hiring platforms
Pricing: Upfront Fees and Pricing Options
Developer hiring platforms like matching services (Gun.io, TopTal), freelance websites (Upwork, Freelancer), job boards (Github, Stackoverflow) charge upfront fees. Outsourcing (IBM, Accenture) and IT outsourcing (Daxx) partners in their turn don't charge upfront payment.
IT outsourcing partners like Daxx price structure is built as follows: developers' salary + vendor's fee. Hiring platforms like job boards (Github, Stackoverflow), freelance providers (Upwork, Freelancer), matching services (Gun.io, TopTal), and project outsourcing vendors (IBM, Accenture) usually set a fixed price or an hourly rate.
Opportunity to Build a Team
With an IT outsourcing vendor like Daxx, you can build a cohesive team that will be dedicated to your product development. Offerings of other developer hiring platforms like freelance services (Upwork, Freelancer), job boards (Github, Stackoverflow), and matching providers (Gun.io, TopTal) don't provide the opportunity to build a united team.
At the same time, some project outsourcing vendors like Accenture and IBM have a dedicated development team on their services list, which ensures you can build a cohesive remote dedicated team. However, most commonly, with project outsourcing, you don't get to know the developers working on your project personally.
Collaboration Security and Reliability
IT outsourcing (Daxx) and outsourcing (IBM, Accenture) vendors take care of high service standards and regularly acquire international certifications to attest high security level. That's why those are the most secure ways to hire remote developers.
By contrast, such developer hiring platforms as matching services (Gun.io, TopTal), freelance platforms (Upwork, Freelancer), and job boards (Github, Stackoverflow) don't account for the software development processes. You're the one to control the security of collaboration with remote employees.
Level of Client Engagement
With an IT outsourcing partner like Daxx, you're the one to choose and manage your remote developers, so the level of client engagement is high.
While collaborating with project outsourcing partners like Accenture and IBM, you'll experience either low or medium level of client engagement. You won't get the opportunity to choose and manage your remote programmers.
With developer hiring platforms like freelance websites (Upwork, Freelancer), matching services (Gun.io, TopTal), job boards (Github, Stackoverflow) you can stay flexible and decide on your own whether to strictly control your developers or rely on their self-organization.
Final Decision in Hiring
You'll be the one to make the final hiring decisions if you opt to collaborate with matching services (Gun.io, TopTal), job boards (Github, Stackoverflow), and freelance platforms (Upwork, Freelancer).

Widespread Use Cases

Team Setup
You'll either have a distributed or collocated development team if you opt to cooperate with an IT outsourcing vendor like Daxx or project outsourcing partner like Accenture. It will depend on the geographical distribution of the rest of your team members.
Your team will be dispersed if you choose to collaborate with one of developer hiring platforms like job boards (Stackoverflow, Github), matching services (TopTal, Gun.io), and freelance platforms (Freelancer, Upwork).
Level of Developer's Integration
Developers you hire with IT outsourcing partners like Daxx will feel like part of your local team, as you'll be the one to choose and manage your remote programmers.
This high level of developer's integration is impossible while you collaborate with project outsourcing vendors (Accenture, IBM) and developer hiring platforms like matching services (TopTal, Gun.io), job boards (Stackoverflow, Github), and freelance platforms (Freelancer, Upwork).
