As the online world keeps evolving, the demand for professionals grows as well. In fact, more than 50% of businesses worldwide experience a talent shortage. In these scenarios, IT Staff Augmentation comes as a great opportunity for companies to fulfill their processes and goals.
How does IT Staff augmentation work?
Under an IT Staff augmentation model, the outsourcing company offers developers for a set price per hour of work. Meanwhile, under an outsourcing model per se, the team delivers the mobile application or the web application at a set fee.
Some advantages are:
-
You can hire software developers from anywhere in the world
Staff augmentation services are available all over the world, offering companies a wider talent pool.
-
There are no legal or management issues
Unlike companies that hire their own staff, companies that work with staff augmentation do not need to manage the personnel on a daily basis and deal with the issues related such as payroll, insurance, vacations, etc.
-
There is no need to spend money on training developers
Besides saving money on management related issues, you would also save money on training, as the vendor is the one in charge of keeping the developers up to date with new technologies or processes.
Types of IT Staff Augmentation
There are six model types:
-
Traditional Staff Augmentation
It is ideal for all types of projects. This is the traditional model in which a vendor provides temporary employees.
-
Independent Contractors
Here, independent contractors engaged directly by the company work in the required tasks.
-
Master vendor staff
It is ideal for a large scale. Here, temporary workers fulfill the gaps the company may have.
-
Gig platforms
They are online platforms that provide access to highly-skilled employees. This model type is ideal for minor tasks or for the short term.
-
On-demand talent platforms
Similar to gig platforms, here vendors can also access highly-skilled employees online. They are ideal for all kinds of projects.
-
Boutique agency
