staff augmentation benefits
Pros of the IT staff augmentation model
Expertise on demand
Are you having trouble finding specialized IT talent in your local market? Do you only need certain skills temporarily? The IT staff augmentation model is the perfect solution for your business. With our help, you can access a global pool of skilled professionals who can provide the expertise you need when you need it.
Rapid adaptation of niche specialists
Facing a shortage of qualified IT professionals in your industry? Our staff augmentation services allow you to quickly adapt to changing technology needs by bringing in niche specialists from all over the world. Don't let a lack of qualified candidates hold your business back - let us help you find the talent you need to succeed.
Adaptability and flexibility
The flexibility and adaptability of IT staff augmentation can't be matched. You can scale your team up or down as needed, and the streamlined legal processes make it easy to add new team members on the fly. This model is ideal for projects with uncertain timelines or scopes.
Cost savings on overhead
This model will help you save money on overhead costs. By bringing in talent temporarily, you can avoid some of the long-term expenses associated with full-time hires, such as recruiting, training, and managing: salaries, benefits, and office space. By using IT staff augmentation, a business can access the skills and expertise it needs on an as-needed basis, while still being able to control its overhead costs.
Keep control and transparency
In addition to these benefits, IT staff augmentation allows you to maintain complete control and transparency over your projects. You can assign tasks and performance criteria directly to your offshore developers and track their performance to ensure the value they contribute to your project.
No infrastructure investment
IT staff augmentation eliminates the need for you to invest in infrastructure. We handle the recruitment process and the everyday office routine for our developers, providing them with everything they need to work efficiently. This includes tech infrastructure, taxes, and perks, allowing you to focus on creating quality solutions without worrying about setting up an actual office.

Our IT staff augmentation selection process
-
-
Selecting talents
Our HR introduces candidates to you so that you learn their experience, technical skills, English level, and soft skills, and then you choose the most suitable candidate for a final interview.
-
Creating a legal agreement
If our experts meet your expectations, we formalize the agreement in a legal contract. The latter solidifies expectations, states the timeline, and elaborates on collaboration details ( data protection, security, payroll, etc.).
-
Onboarding
We integrate our experts into the processes of your main office. Our account and talent managers ensure the onboarding process is smooth and seamless.
-
Outcome
Staff augmentation in Relevant gives you the needed specialists under your complete control, like your in-house team. The only difference is that they work remotely, and we handle all the administration.
Our engagement models
Dedicated development team
A dedicated team engagement model fits well for large projects with rather vague requirements and possibly unexpected shifts of priorities, long-term projects, early-stage startups, and tech companies struggling to find the right specialists.

faq
Frequently asked questions
IT recruitment agencies mostly specialize in just sourcing IT candidates by their CVs, while the IT staff augmentation company has the expertise in planning, executing, and maintaining the software development processes. IT staff augmentation companies create pools of experienced reliable IT professionals, which allows them to scale or build your team quickly with just the right expertise.
There are several places where you can look for a reliable staff augmentation vendor:
- your business network that can give recommendations
- search engines
- B2B platforms
IT project outsourcing is the outsourcing of an entire project or aspects of it to an external company, while staffing adds virtual resources to an internal IT team to help manage the workload. IT staff augmentation provides both hourly and part-time IT talents to support your in-house team’s software development outsourcing cycle. This avoids lengthy sourcing and recruiting, as well as facilitates filling of highly-demanded roles in a limited time. The benefit of staff augmentation is not only up to 40% lower costs, but also the possibility to get high expertise for the positions that are not very long-term.
During the call or by another preferred means of communication, you will need to communicate to us your technical needs and requirements. After that,
within 1-3 weeks (can depend on the role) we will find you the most suitable candidates. After you approve, we will seal the deal, and engineers will immediately start working on your project.
Choose the staff augmentation when you look for a proven, quick, reliable, and cost-effective way to increase the size and productivity of your development team. This team extension model is suitable both for large development projects and small tech product teams.
We ensure the rigorous selection process of our candidates by conducting a series of interviews and technical testing. Many of our developers stay at the project long-term and have great recommendations. However, if you want to do additional testing from your side, you are welcome to do that.
QIT Software always ensures the new team members immerse in your in-house team and work in line with your strategic goals. Communication will happen through the preferred modern tools for remote teams. Our developers are well familiar with all the modern software for agile development and hybrid team communication, so the collaborative processes go smoothly.
