With software powering today’s modern world, businesses across industries require tech talent. However, the demand far outstrips the supply giving rise to worldwide tech skills shortage. Yet if the scarcity of tech knowhow is a problem, tech also is part of the solution. Increasingly fast internet speed and advanced communication tools have contributed to the rise of remote work.

More and more companies are exploring remote work, with IT outsourcing as one of the easiest and reliable options, when it comes to their development needs. The use of project management and productivity tools now make it easier to collaborate with top tech talent wherever they are in the world. Couple this with significant benefits of IT outsourcing -- many companies across industries choose offshore development to grow their business.

We’ve rounded up a list of industries that immensely benefit from hiring remote developers, and yours may be one of these.

Gaming and Mobile Apps

If you run a game production house, then building a stable of talented game developers is crucial. Hiring remote game developers is definitely a big help, especially if you have plenty of backlog. Same goes as well for startups. Getting remote mobile app developers to expedite the development of your app can help you focus on raising funds for your startup.
