Freeborders connects Chinese workers with U.S. outsourcers
Bangalore is so last season. Shenzhen is the new hot spot for in-the-know IT outsourcers.
At least that is what San Francisco-based Freeborders is banking on. The firm helps clients outsource software application work to China, where labor is half the cost of that in India, and educated workers are plentiful.
Freeborders expects to grow 100 percent this year. The company counts Coach, DuPont and Target among its customers. Freeborders, which has 325 Chinese employees and 60 U.S. employees, will hire 1,000 more, mostly in China, by the beginning of 2006. That's 10 to 15 people per week.
"With over 150,000 tech workers and a population of 9 million, Shenzhen has become the Silicon Valley of China due to its entrepreneurial character, world-class technology infrastructure and talented labor pool," said co-founder John Cestar.
