Based on the forecasts, we can predict that there will be no shortage of work in this area, and the number of new project applications will only increase. As a result, IT service providers face a new challenge in providing a full-fledged IT team. Covering a key employee position can turn into an absolute thriller, where you spend hours searching for and interviewing a candidate, resulting in the unattainable goal of finding a talented programmer or even financial loss to the company. This type of issue will be of interest to IT and companies in other sectors, of which industry experts are part of the staff.
We can solve this with an IT staff augmentation service. This article will explain to you what it is and the technology stack we work with.
What is an IT Staff Augmentation service?
Staff Augmentation is a service relevant to companies with their own IT team. Still, it needs to extend it to mid- or senior-level programming experts, business analysts, DevOps experts, or project managers to cover gaps in project workload or technology expertise missing from the existing IT team.
IT specialists are involved for the duration of the project, for example, one or more months, depending on its length. In this way, the project owner saves time and money compared to the traditional recruitment process. Instead, the client applies for the appropriate skills, sets the terms of reference, and agrees on the pay. This model guarantees the gaining of a talented expert with dedicated skills that will contribute to a successful project outcome.
