Introduction to IT Staff Augmentation
One of the most effective outsourcing techniques for hiring and managing teams is IT Staff Augmentation, called Contract Hiring. It allows companies to employ entire teams for a specific activity, with pricing defined per resource for a predefined period. The company doesn’t engage with the outsourced team individually but focuses only on the delivery.
You can bulk up your application development team by Contract Hiring with a combination of senior, junior, and architect-level resources, speed up the development process, and launch your product in the market faster.
Scenario-Based Explanation
Consider a startup company that is now growing to become an SMB. In the initial phase of the first product launch, one team was dedicated to the application development and launch. Also, the team’s technical expertise is very restricted to the product.
With a growing business, the startup is now gaining traction and onboarding several clients demanding a certified cross-trained solutions architect and junior developers. As there are stringent timelines, the company’s hiring process can cost them to lose a client, which can take a toll on the overall business.
A simple solution here is to hire talent for Contract Engineering or Contract Hiring and speed up the project without delaying the project timelines.
