What Is Staff Augmentation Service? Staff
Augmentation is one type of outsourcing option to
get your job done but more cost-effectively and
flexibly. It can offer you huge benefits to fill
the essential job roles that are vacant in your
company.  In this service, employees are hired
on a contract basis and they have the option to
serve you from their homes or even from the
office of the company that is offering you Staff
Augmentation services.

  • What Are the Pros Of Staff Augmentation Services?
  • Access To Huge Talent Pool- The hiring process
    for full-time employees may consume a lot of time
    and effort. However, still, the company may not
    create a properly balanced team. Staff
    Augmentation serves businesses as a means of
    short-term recruiting that lets them access a
    huge talent pool. 
  • As the Staff Augmentation recruits are
    domain-centric they can offer new thinking
    capabilities to the firms. Apart from that, Staff
    Augmentation enables the companies to appoint
    experienced professionals in certain aspects who
    can offer them more in a short duration of time.
  • Cost-Effectiveness- Every business focuses on
    cost savings. It is one of the major ways to
    generate more revenue. Staff Augmentation offers
    cost-effectiveness to the companies in completing
    projects.

  • Expansion- Software companies always try to scale
    their business high as it helps them in taking
    full advantage of profitable market conditions.
    But to scale up their business they need a bigger
    workforce and for that, they need more capital.
  • Staff Augmentation can serve companies in
    extending their workforce by hiring more
    dedicated developers without investing in
    advanced staffing.
  • Better Control- Software companies can have
    better control over their projects as in Staff
    Augmentation Services, an organization only
    outsources the employees to other organizations. 
  • Having complete control over management can help
    you complete the project as desired. 

5
  • When To Opt for IT Staff Augmentation Services?
  • You can avail of IT Staff Augmentation in
    different scenarios-
  • You Are In Need Of Specialized Skills With
    Experience
  • Small and mid-sized companies may find it
    difficult to employ fully skilled and experienced
    candidates to handle every project. In some
    cases, giant companies having a complete IT staff
    of experts require hyper-specialized candidates
    for consultation purposes. Staff Augmentation
    offers everyone the flexibility to accept
    projects even with limitations in skills.
  • You Need To Manage Increased Workload
  • In the IT industry companies often face the
    trouble of increased workload on employees. To
    manage this troubling situation, companies prefer
    seasonal hiring. Staff Augmentation offers you
    the flexibility of hiring for the increased
    workload timeframe. It frees your company from
    hiring full-time employees and then reducing the
    staff when the workload streamlines. 

6
  • You Need To Complete A Short-Term Project Outside
    Your Expertise
  • The IT industry is the fastest growing in terms
    of both innovation and revenue generation. So
    projects with the latest technology may be
    offered to businesses but not having the required
    expertise can force you to back off. Staff
    Augmentation can help you in accepting the
    project. You can hire the required developers
    from outsourcing companies and combine them with
    your existing team.
  • You Need To Save Costs
  • Having a full-fledged workforce may cost you a
    huge amount of money and in a situation where you
    are focusing on cost savings, it can be a serious
    issue. With Staff Augmentation you can hire
    temporary developers to assist your in-house
    teams and it is far less costly than having a
    bigger full-time staff.

7
  • When You Want To Upgrade And Innovate
  • Often software companies may feel a lack of
    innovation in completing numerous projects. Lack
    of innovation may end up affecting the staff and
    make them feel saturated. 
  • During this phase, you can opt for Staff
    Augmentation to bring new perspectives and fresh
    minds to the company. It can help you establish a
    culture of result-oriented ideas and a new style
    to think of creative ideas. 

8
  • When Not To Opt For IT Staff Augmentation?
  • Staff Augmentation is extremely beneficial but
    there are a few scenarios as well where you can
    avoid it-
  • When You Have The Experts
  • Staff Augmentation offers you the flexibility to
    hire temporary employees to help your in-house
    team in certain areas of completing the project.
    In case you have a complete team who are well
    suited for the project then you must not opt for
    Staff Augmentation as it will only result in
    extra spending.

9
  • If You Need A Full-Time Member
  • IT Staff Augmentation is not full-time. Yes, you
    can hire for the long term but not full-time. So
    if you need a full-time employee to be a
    permanent member of your in-house team and
    coordinate not only on specific projects but
    every single one he is assigned to then you must
    not opt for IT Staff Augmentation.
  • You Want To Completely Delegate Responsibility
  • In case you are facing issues in multiple
    projects and you think delegating the
    responsibility of a whole project might be
    helpful then IT Staff Augmentation cant be the
    option for you. Yes, you can hire a project
    manager both on a full-time or part-time basis
    for the projects in Staff Augmentation but there
    are far better options available than Staff
    Augmentation like Managed Services to opt-in
    scenarios like this.

10
  • Considerable Factors While Choosing A Staff
    Augmentation Partner
  • Staffing Needs- Identifying own staffing needs is
    the most crucial aspect in deciding on a Staff
    Augmentation partner. You may need a few
    supportive members of your team, or you just
    dont have any extra office space to extend your
    workforce. You may need to free your most skilled
    developers from a specific project to handle
    another business.
  • Experience Of Your Partner- The experience of
    your partner is a huge thing as it can lead you
    to complete the project with no compromise in
    quality. 

You can consult their previous clients, review
their portfolio, ensure their experience in your
required field, and go through their reviews and
ratings to ensure that they can offer you quality
service or not.

  • Examine Their Communication Protocol- Communicatio
    n is one of the key activities in partnering up
    with other companies. So it is important to
    understand how much they communicate, and which
    is their communication method.
  • Commitment To Security- Security in this modern
    era is the most important factor to consider
    while doing any business activity. You must
    verify if the staffing agency makes both on-site
    and remote staff sign NDAs and ensure employment
    background checks are done.
  • Language And Cultural Differences- If you are
    planning to work with a remote staff then you
    must verify that there are no language issues
    between the in-house teams and the outsourced
    talents.
