Your developers have better things to do than fix basic IT issues

Password resets. Software access requests. Another “quick IT fix” in the middle of a sprint.
Small requests add up when they keep landing on your developers’ desks. Meanwhile, your team has features to ship, bugs to fix, and deadlines to meet.
EDGE connects you with pre-vetted remote IT support, QA, customer service, and HR professionals who can take routine work off your developers’ plates. Get the support your technology business needs without adding another full in-house team.

The cost of hiring locally doesn’t stop at the salary
Your developers need support, but another full-time U.S. hire comes with salary costs, recruitment expenses, and ongoing responsibilities. And finding the right technical talent isn’t always easy.
Here’s what U.S. research shows:

$61,860 is the median U.S. IT user-support salary

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that computer user support specialists earned a median annual wage of $61,860 in May 2025. That’s before additional employer costs like benefits and payroll taxes.

$5,475 is the average cost of a nonexecutive hire

SHRM’s 2025 benchmarking research found that surveyed U.S. organizations spent an average of $5,475 to recruit a nonexecutive employee, across industries. That’s a hiring expense on top of the employee’s ongoing pay.

60% of U.S. small and midsize tech leaders say hiring is harder

According to Robert Half’s 2026 research, 60% of surveyed technology leaders at small and midsize U.S. companies said hiring had become more challenging than a year earlier. Finding the right people can take time your team doesn’t have.

You need reliable IT support, not another expensive local hire. EDGE helps you find remote professionals to handle IT support, testing, and technical tasks without building another in-house team.

What changes when developers aren’t handling every ticket

Your technical team doesn’t have to be the first stop for every support request. With the right people in place, here’s what their workday could look like.

More time building. Less troubleshooting.

Routine helpdesk tickets and access requests go to dedicated support professionals, giving developers more room to focus on features, fixes, and releases.

Give developers clearer bug reports

QA support helps test features, reproduce issues, and organize bug reports before developers investigate. Less time chasing missing details. More time working on the fix.

Keep basic customer questions off developers’ desks

Level 1 support handles common user issues, documents recurring questions, and escalates problems that genuinely need technical expertise.

Hire technical talent without the admin overload

Get help sourcing candidates, scheduling interviews, and coordinating onboarding while your engineering leads focus on evaluating the people who could join their team.
