From Bucharest, Artificially gives companies in the UK, the Nordics, DACH, Benelux and the rest of Europe senior developers who overlap with their working day, work under EU law and can meet in person with a short flight.

Onshore, nearshore or offshore?
Onshore teams are easiest to work with but the most expensive and slowest to hire. Offshore teams can be cheaper but often mean limited overlap, slower feedback loops and more management overhead. Nearshore sits in between: meaningful cost savings with real-time collaboration and cultural proximity.
- Onshore: highest cost, same time zone, long hiring cycles
- Nearshore: lower cost, overlapping hours, EU legal framework
- Offshore: lowest hourly rate, little overlap, higher coordination cost

Romania is in the EU, has a large pool of experienced, English-speaking engineers, and its time zone (UTC+2/+3) overlaps fully with the UK and continental Europe.
How quickly can a nearshore team start?
After a 15-minute call you receive a proposal within 5 days, and developers typically onboard within about 2 weeks.
How much does nearshore development cost?
Senior developers typically cost 4,000–7,000 EUR per month depending on technology and seniority, with no recruitment fees, equipment or employment overhead.
