What is IT staff augmentation?
By definition, staff augmentation is a strategy for companies to complete their internal teams with external experts on a permanent, short-term, or long-term basis. In software development, staff augmentation allows organizations to find the right, highly qualified experts and easily adjust the size of the team according to their business needs. There are many vendors offering IT staffing solutions on a contractual basis today. This guide will help you navigate among them and find the best fit for your company.
How does staff augmentation work?
If you want to extend your team, you need to identify the required expertise and skill set, the desired number of developers, and the time you will need to boost your team. Only when these aspects are clarified will the vendor pick candidates for your project. Vendors usually have a database of tech experts and can search for additional specialists on the market if needed. After the resume screening is complete, you will be able to schedule interviews with candidates and send them test tasks. Once the test and the interview are concluded successfully, the IT staff augmentation company will present the candidates with job offers. You will most likely have your own hiring procedures and standards, so the vendor will make the necessary adjustments to each individual. Considering the most common variables, the hiring process may take from 10 to 21 days.
