Common Questions About Staff Augmentation (FAQs)

What's the difference between staff augmentation and traditional outsourcing?
Staff augmentation provides you with individual developers who work directly under your management and integrate with your existing team. Traditional outsourcing typically involves handing off entire projects to external teams. With staff augmentation, you maintain full control over the work, processes, and daily management while gaining access to top global talent.
How quickly can I get started with staff augmentation?
We typically present qualified candidates from 1-14 days of receiving your requirements. Once you select your preferred developers, they can typically start working between 1-14 days (normally the main factor is your own internal onboarding process). Our streamlined process includes technical screening, English and communication assessments, behavioral and culture fit interviews, and immediate onboarding support.
What if the augmented staff member isn't a good fit?
We offer a 30-day evaluation period for each engineer you hire. During the first 30 days you can cancel the engineer at any time and for any reason with no questions asked. After that it converts to a month-to-month engagement. This is a paid and full service trial period. 97% of the engineers we place with clients stay with the same client for 12+ months, and most stay for multiple years.
How do you ensure quality and communication with remote staff?
All our developers undergo comprehensive English proficiency and communication assessments, technical screening, and behavioral and cultural fit evaluations. They work in your time zone, use your preferred communication tools, and follow your existing processes. If you want follow-the-sun development we can also provide engineers with significant overlap of 4-8 hours during your business hours. We also provide ongoing support to ensure seamless integration.
What's included in the monthly fee per engineer?
Everything. Our flat monthly fee covers the developer’s compensation, perks, compliance, HR, legal, recruiting costs, and ongoing support. There are no hidden fees, setup costs, or additional charges. You get a dedicated, hardworking, and productive team member for one flat monthly rate.
Can I convert augmented staff to full-time employees?
Yes. You may do this at any time for a fee. We can facilitate the transition through our Employer of Record services or Contractor of Record services or help with direct hiring. Hiring fees vary based on the length of the engagement and specific circumstances, but at most cost 25% of the yearly rate for the engineer.
How do you handle intellectual property and confidentiality?
All developers sign comprehensive NDAs and IP assignment agreements before starting work and can sign additional agreements directly with you. We ensure full compliance with your security requirements, including criminal background checks, secure development environments with MDM software or company-issued devices, security training and awareness programs, data processing agreements (DPAs), and adherence to your data protection policies like SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. We also offer reference checks, education verification, and employment verificaton. When you pay us we assign full ownership of work product to your company.
What happens if I need to scale up quickly?
Staff augmentation is designed for flexibility. You can add team members as needed (typically within 1-3 weeks), replace engineers, or reduce your team size with 30 days’ notice. This flexibility allows you to respond quickly to changing business needs without the overhead of traditional hiring and firing.
