What is Staff Augmentation and How Could Your Company Benefit?

Staff augmentation services offer quick relief with short-term staffing and support for your company. These recruits can fill any number of IT roles and offer benefits and applications for your company across multiple fronts.  

Instant Capacity Increase

Staff augmentation empowers you to get more done faster. When you have big projects on the docket and deadlines are looming, you know what they say: “More hands make light work.” Grow your team with skilled, vetted, and experienced team members who can step in and immediately provide relief. 

Leverage Specialized Skills

Even the strongest teams have skills gaps. Staff augmentation services allow you to cast a wider net and take advantage of specialized expertise not already on your team. From niche skills, project management, and quality assurance (QA) to emerging technology experts, scrum masters, and AI consultants, there are a myriad of highly beneficial IT roles that can enhance your team and your company. 

Inject Flexible Labor

Augmenting your existing staff with a flexible labor force offers a creative solution for short-term obstacles. These recruits will be qualified and talented in exactly the ways you need them for exactly how long you need them to help. You have the freedom to bring on as many recruits or specialists as you need and then release them again without the full-scale “hire and release” process. 

Used As A Bridge To Hire

Staff augmentation offers teams and companies a “try before you buy” experiment. It is a unique opportunity to fill roles needed immediately while you take your time to find perfect-fit candidates. Whether you hire a temporary recruit or transition them out after your search is over, this is one of the more convenient hiring strategies that doesn’t sacrifice existing operations.  

Preps Your Company to Scale

An agile workforce that easily grows with you helps prepare your company for scaling. As your company changes and adapts to market shifts, you can have confidence in your readiness to rise to the challenge.
