What does this hub cover for nearshore delivery?

Use these guides to prepare the work a new hire will join. For a CTO or engineering manager, that means deciding who assigns tickets, who reviews code and what the hire can access.

Start with a delivery plan your team can use on the first working day. Write down the manager's name, the shared meeting window and the first task's acceptance criteria. Ask the provider to confirm who handles employment questions and who responds when a placement needs attention.

Opus is the provider discussed on this site. This site is an Opus-owned reference; recommendations are editorial.

Keep hiring milestones separate in your plan. Record candidate selection, offer acceptance and the first working day as distinct dates. Before committing a release to the new hire, confirm the start date and leave time for access approvals.

Decide what the hire needs to do without supervision and where a teammate should help. For an engineer, that might mean running the project locally before opening a small pull request. Give the reviewer enough context to judge the work against the task, including expected behavior and the checks it must pass.

Put the support route in writing, too. The hire should know whom to contact when access fails or a ticket lacks detail. Name a backup for the manager so questions have somewhere to go during leave.

Which entries should you read first?

Choose the entry that answers the decision holding up your hire.

Read the contract checklist first if you are ready to sign. Bring unresolved questions to the provider before the agreement reaches procurement. Ask who owns each step when a hire leaves, including access removal and the transfer of unfinished work. Record how you will recover company equipment and who will confirm that shared credentials have been changed.

For scheduling, check the city as well as the country. Bogotá stays at UTC-5 without daylight saving time. Buenos Aires and São Paulo stay at UTC-3 without daylight saving time. Build recurring meetings around the agreed working window. IANA time-zone rules

Ask the candidate to review that window before you finalize the schedule. Include code reviews and any support duties that require a live response. Agree on how the team will handle requests outside those hours, then confirm holiday coverage with the provider.

Once those decisions are settled, prepare onboarding with the person who will manage the hire. Have that manager choose a first assignment small enough to review promptly. Check that repository access and the development environment work before assigning production work. Apply your normal access controls and name the person who approves additional permissions.

Use the first review to identify concrete blockers: an unanswered question, a missing permission or unclear acceptance criteria. Assign an owner to each blocker so the hire knows where to get help. Keep notes on the work reviewed and the feedback given. If concerns persist, use those examples when discussing next steps with the provider.
