What is a Staff Augmentation?
A dedicated development team is a concept of hiring dedicated developers and tech enthusiasts for a particular project; it can be for a short period or a long term.
Staff Augmentation is an extension of your current team by hiring skilled tech resources on an external basis to cover necessary positions; it can be temporarily or permanently. It allows businesses to choose candidates that fit your requirements to extend your team whenever you require.
How does it work?
You have the engineers working on a project but you need to hire 5-10 professionals but it can be so difficult to hire the programmers if you try to hire on your own this is where staff augmentation bridges the gap, with staff augmentation you get the opportunity to personally screen and select the candidates for the desired skillset required for the project.
In this, your outsourcing partner will take care of all the administrative and organizational obstacles, while you can focus on your core competencies and collaborate with your extended team in the same way you do with your in-house team.

you will screen and shortlist the
desired candidates.
