What capacity does your team need to add?
Frequently asked questions about IT staff augmentation
What is IT staff augmentation?
It is a model for adding external technical professionals to an existing team. The client generally retains control over priorities, tasks, tools and daily management, while the provider supports sourcing, validation and integration.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and outsourcing?
Staff augmentation adds individual profiles to your team and keeps operational leadership with your organization. Outsourcing delegates a project, function or outcome so the provider assumes greater responsibility for planning and delivery.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and a dedicated team?
Staff augmentation adds individual profiles to an existing team. A dedicated team is a complete technical unit assembled around a project, with leadership and specialist roles based on scope.
Which tech profiles can I hire?
You can look for frontend, backend, full-stack and mobile developers, as well as DevOps, cloud, data, QA, AI, Tech Leads, Product Managers and database specialists. The final profile depends on project needs and availability.
Can staff augmentation support a temporary need?
Yes. It can cover an absence, support a defined project phase or add capacity for an ongoing engagement. Duration, dedication and availability are established during discovery.
Who manages the augmented professional?
The client generally manages priorities, tasks and day-to-day coordination. HitOcean's role in follow-up, coordination and escalation should be defined in the commercial agreement.
How are technical profiles validated?
The process may include experience review, technical assessment, interviews and conversations about communication, collaboration, autonomy and project requirements.
How are security, confidentiality and IP handled?
Access, security, confidentiality and intellectual property requirements should be defined for the project and documented in applicable agreements and processes before onboarding.
How much does staff augmentation cost?
Cost depends on profile, seniority, stack, dedication, availability, engagement model and duration. HitOcean can prepare a proposal after understanding the team's and project's requirements.
What happens if the profile is not the right fit?
Conditions for changes or replacements depend on the agreed engagement. They should be reviewed before onboarding so the continuity process is clear.
