IT staff augmentation without the recruitment cycle
You need three months of an extra pair of hands. Recruitment takes two of them, and you would be hiring for a peak that ends.
Context
When this is the right shape
Some work is genuinely temporary: a migration with a deadline, parental leave cover, a backlog that built up during a busy year, or a project that needs a skill your team does not have and will not need again.
Hiring for it is slow and leaves you overstaffed afterwards. A fixed-scope project does not fit either, because the work is not defined tightly enough to quote — you need capacity, not a deliverable.
Staff augmentation covers that. Someone works inside your team, on your tools, to your priorities, for a defined period. You direct the work; we handle employment, coverage, and replacement if someone is unavailable.
Scope
How it works
- Defined start and end dates, extendable by agreement
- Works in your systems, your process, and your stand-ups
- Helpdesk, infrastructure, cloud, or development capacity
- Cover arranged when your person is away, rather than a gap
- Monthly rate, no recruitment fee, no severance exposure
- Handover documentation written as the engagement ends, not after
FAQ
Questions people ask
What does it cost?
From $9,500 a month for a dedicated developer, with other roles quoted by skill and seniority. There is no recruitment fee and no severance exposure, which is most of why the monthly rate compares the way it does against a permanent hire for temporary work.
What is the minimum term?
Three months. Below that, the time spent learning your environment consumes most of what you are paying for, and neither side gets value from it.
Who manages the work?
You do. They sit in your stand-ups and work to your priorities. We handle employment, coverage during absence, and the technical escalation path behind them.
