What is staff augmentation and how does it differ from recruitment?
Staff augmentation embeds our developers into your team while they remain on our payroll — you get the capacity without the headcount, and contracts scale with your project. Recruitment places permanent employees on your payroll. We run both, and the try-&-hire model bridges them: evaluate a contractor first, convert to a full-time hire when it fits.
How much does staff augmentation cost?
Measured properly — against the total cost of hiring in-house — typically 30–50% less, because recruitment, payroll, benefits, administration and bench risk sit on our side. The comparison that matters isn't hourly rate against hourly rate; it's total cost including the risk of a failed hire, which runs to 15–25% of an annual salary once lost weeks and leadership time are counted. That risk is what our 90-day guarantee removes.
How fast can you really deliver?
First matched CVs within 48 hours for most senior roles — a contractual SLA. Standard placements complete in under 5 days; highly specialized roles take 2–4 weeks. For team builds: 10–15 hires within 30 days, 50+ within 3 months — and we support scaling down when project phases change, so you're never locked into headcount you no longer need.
What happens if the developer doesn't work out?
A contractor who isn't working out is replaced from the bench — replacement proposals within days, no new placement fees — and we run an analysis of what went wrong rather than just sending the next CV. Replacements stay rare because of the screening: we assess technical depth, communication style and team fit before you ever see a profile.
