Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our team augmentation services.

How does team augmentation differ from outsourcing?

Unlike traditional outsourcing where you hand off a project to an external team, team augmentation integrates developers directly into your existing team structure. These developers work under your management, follow your processes, and become an extension of your in-house team. This provides greater control, better communication, and seamless integration with your existing workflows.

What skills and experience levels are available?

We offer developers across a wide range of technologies and experience levels. Our talent pool includes specialists in frontend (React, Angular, Vue.js), backend (Node.js, Python, Java, .NET), mobile (React Native, Flutter), DevOps, and more. Experience levels range from mid-level (3+ years) to senior (8+ years) and technical leads (10+ years). We match developers to your specific requirements and technical stack.

How quickly can developers join our team?

The typical timeframe from initial consultation to having developers integrated into your team is 2-3 weeks. This includes requirements gathering, candidate selection, interviews, and onboarding. For urgent needs, we can expedite the process and have developers ready in as little as 1 week, depending on the specificity of your requirements and availability of suitable candidates.

What is the minimum commitment period?

Our Flexible plan offers month-to-month engagements with a 30-day notice period, ideal for short-term projects or variable workloads. Our Dedicated plan requires a 6-month minimum commitment with a 60-day notice period, offering better rates for longer-term engagements. Enterprise plans can be customized to your specific needs. All plans include our 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

How do you ensure quality and cultural fit?

Our rigorous vetting process includes technical assessments, code reviews, reference checks, and cultural fit evaluations. Only 5% of applicants make it through our screening process. We assess not only technical skills but also communication abilities, problem-solving approach, and adaptability. You'll have the opportunity to interview candidates before making a decision, ensuring they meet your specific requirements and team dynamics.

What happens if a developer isn't working out?

We stand behind our placements with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied with a developer within the first 30 days, we'll replace them at no additional cost. Beyond this period, if performance issues arise, we have a structured resolution process that includes performance improvement plans and, if necessary, replacement. Our goal is to ensure long-term success and satisfaction with your augmented team members.
