Staff augmentation benefits businesses because it means that they have greater control over workers. This is because they are directly responsible for the tasks of the augmented staff and their integration with the team. From start to finish the business takes full control.

Staff augmentation has a significant number of benefits. You get qualified developers, working in your office, at your desired times, and on your desired projects. When something goes wrong, you’ve got immediate access to them and they can provide immediate feedback to you. If you’ve got an existing team, it’s easy for staff augmentation companies to provide you temporary employees who can easily assimilate with your team by being in your office for the workday.

How can you identify the right candidates forstaff augmentation?

One of the first steps in choosing a staff augmentation vendor is to assess your company’s staffing needs. As you search for specialized skillsets to expedite your project or fill internal skill gaps, it's essential you take note of the scope of the project(s) your augmented staff will be associated with. You'll also want to measure how quickly your internal teams can integrate provisional talent, how effective the communication channels you use to collaborate with onshore or offshore workers are, as well as how adept your outsourcing partner is at executing staffing requests, or adjusting their overall staffing approach when necessary.
