Readiness Quiz

Answer 6 quick questions to score your readiness and get a clear, actionable recommendation.

Quick Answer

You are ready to add remote engineers when the work is documented, the repo and CI are accessible, someone owns code review, and you can describe the first 30 days. This quiz scores those prerequisites and tells you what to prepare before you hire.

Progress0/6

1. How well-documented is your codebase and setup (README, runbooks)?

2. How clear is your branching, PR, and release process?

3. How well-defined is your backlog (tickets with acceptance criteria)?

4. How ready is your access provisioning (SSO, repos, environments)?

5. How strong is your async communication culture?

6. How clear would ownership be for a new remote engineer?

These figures are estimates for planning only. Your actual rate depends on role, scope, seniority, and engagement; market comparisons use representative benchmarks, not live quotes. Spotted a number that looks off, or have an idea to make this tool better? — we read every note and use it to improve these tools.

Methodology

How the Tech Outsourcing Readiness Quiz works

How the score is produced

Answer 6 questions; each answer carries points (typically Yes = 2, Partially = 1, No/Unsure = 0).
Your total is expressed as a percentage of the maximum score.
That percentage maps to a band — each band has a plain-language summary and the next step we recommend for adding remote engineers.

Assumptions built in

Self-assessment: the score reflects what you tell us, not an audit.
Questions are weighted equally; a single critical gap can matter more than the score suggests.

Common questions about this tool and the roles behind it.

A written scope or backlog, repository and environment access you can grant on day one, a named reviewer, and a communication rhythm. Missing any of these is the usual cause of a slow first month.

Zedtreeo shortlists pre-vetted engineers within 48 hours; onboarding typically follows within a week, with a free 5-day trial to confirm fit.

Yes — it is free, runs in your browser and does not ask for anything sensitive. If you request a shortlist afterwards we only use the contact details you choose to give.
