Finnish companies often choose between an in-house Finnish-speaking team and an international English-speaking one. Both options have benefits and challenges.
Finnish-speaking team
Communication is fluid and nuances are understood. The team knows the Finnish market, banking systems and legislation. Costs are higher, but productivity is usually high.
English-speaking team
Access to a wider talent pool at lower prices. We can find specialised expertise that doesn’t exist in Finland. The challenge is communication — cultural differences and time zones can slow things down.
HD SofT recommendation
Many clients choose a hybrid: PM and tech architect in Finnish, the rest of the team international. We coordinate communication so it works smoothly.
