IT Staff Augmentation: Benefits, Tips, and Best Practices

In the fast-changing business landscape, people play a key role. Businesses require a fast way to scale their software development teams, and staff augmentation is the best outsourcing model to supplement your development team according to your needs


Imagine that you need to build a mobile application for your online store. You already have an in-house team of developers that work on your ecommerce website, but now you also need mobile developers. 


You go to your HR department and request a search for candidates. At this stage, you may still wonder how many developers you need exactly. (Maybe one cross-platform developer or two native developers, one each for Android and iOS?)


Your HR specialists start the search and recruitment process. Some candidates don’t fit your requirements, others don’t accept offers, and the search takes a month or more. If you need to develop your application fast and require more developers, it becomes even harder to find them quickly.


The complicated hiring process can take up months that you could be spending on developing your application, and this is especially problematic when your competitors are also developing their applications and getting ready to reach a new audience of mobile users. How can you expand your team faster? There are several options. In this article, you’ll learn about the staff augmentation pros and cons, and the latest IT staff augmentation trends.
