Staff augmentation is an outsourcing strategy which is used to staff a project and respond to the business objectives. The technique consists of evaluating the existing staff and then determining which additional skills are required. One possible advantage of this approach is that it may leverage existing resources as well as utilize outsourced services and contract workers. The trend in staff augmentation is occurring because of the abundance of IT resources, declining rates, and narrowing margins for companies that need these services.

Our staff augmentation vendors help you add skilled technical resources to your in-house development team on a short- or long-term basis. These resources are employed directly by the vendor, thus eliminating the cost and liability of making new full-time hires. That being said, remote developers hired through a staff augmentation firm are managed by the client they work with, and are typically dedicated to one project at a time.
