Strengthen your team with IT staff augmentation

Team augmentation is a hiring service that provides different IT experts who can work remotely and put specific skills into your project. The experts are some enterprise’s permanent workers who are free to join another project temporarily.

Once you need some extra talents, they become fully dedicated to accomplish your tasks. A great bonus is that we manage all the hassle around taxes, administration, healthcare, and hiring.

Is augmented staff available for the project that has already started? Yes! Anyone from BA to QA engineers is ready to jump in and start working.

In staff augmentation, remote employees become similar to your in-house team: you have control over them and can communicate directly. The project management is in your hands. 

In outsourcing projects the developers’ management will be performed by the outsourcing company from which you order the services.

There are numerous things to check before cooperation. Some of them include:

• Experience. Does a potential partner have more than 2 years of experience on the market? If the answer is yes, then it’s a good sign.

• Feedback from previous clients. Social proof drives trust and builds a positive image of a company. Study what previous clients say about a vendor’s culture, approach to work and communication skills.

• Technology stack. It may seem obvious, but checking what technologies a company uses is a must. Before searching for a partner, think which technology stack will benefit your project, create a list and tick boxes while studying about a vendor.

• Portfolio. Go on a company’s website and find development cases. However, some may not show all the cases because they signed an NDA and can’t expose the work. In that case, directly ask for a brief summary. Examples of accomplished projects help to understand a company’s experience, clients and skills.

• Social media. While social media usually don’t give any information about hard skills of employees, they open a curtain to the inner culture. If you see photos of a team having fun, it may indicate that employees are also friends and motivated to come to work. Check out our LinkedIn and Facebook 😉

• Pricing model. Some companies show their pricing model but others don’t because each project is unique and prices have to be negotiated before cooperation. If you are interested in a particular company, contact their manager and discuss the prices for your case.
• Location. Geographical location isn’t the most important factor, but it can impact the project. If you find the difference in time zones significant, then find out the location of a company. Bear in mind that despite different time zones, you can benefit from higher work quality and lower prices simultaneously.

Staff augmentation services can benefit any company, but especially those that have just appeared on the market. The augmented team works just as well as in-house staff, but with a smaller budget and quicker. Isn’t this a smart choice?

Companies can release their products and services faster, which is a competitive advantage. Moreover, apart from cutting costs on hiring and onboarding, you can save costs on office equipment and spend the money on business matters.

All our developers and other staff members speak English at B2-C1 level.

We sign an NDA with potential employees to ensure the safety and prevent any leakage to competitors.
