Staff Augmentation vs. Direct Hire

Staff Augmentation is a viable option for engineering managers when they need to scale up teams quickly and cost-effectively. It allows them to access the expertise and capabilities of experienced, specialized professionals without having to go through the time and expenses of recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, training, and managing personnel directly. Staff augmentation also eliminates the risk of long-term commitments, making it easier for engineering managers to fill any gaps in the skill set of their team and provide support for key software development projects.
