eCommerce Development Review from Ron Williams
We were looking to upgrade our website, which was running on Magento, to Adobe Commerce. The idea was to bring everything under one roofmerging our multiple sites into a single platform and improving our workflow. We also wanted to move to Adobe Commerces enterprise version to help us scale and expand our online presence. Basically, we needed a smoother, more robust e-commerce platform that could handle our growing business. Delostyle Studio Private Limited handled our entire migration to Adobe Commerce, which included consolidating our multiple Magento sites into a single admin interface.The team was responsible for migrating all our data, ensuring it transferred over without any issues, and making sure the new site reflected our previous one, but with additional improvements and features. They also took care of the technical optimization, fixing bugs, and ensuring the site ran smoothly after launch. Even after the website went live, they continued working with us to identify and fix any ongoing issues. Before working with Delostyle Studio, we were dealing with multiple separate Magento installations, which made managing our e-commerce business a lot more difficult. After the migration, everything was streamlined into one platform, which improved our overall workflow and made things much more efficient. We also saw an improvement in our websites performance and functionality, which helped in better managing our growing customer base. A Delostyle Studios project management was pretty solid. I was managing the project on my own, which sometimes caused delays on my end, but the team was always patient and understanding. They made sure to stay on top of their tasks and kept things organized. I used spreadsheets to track the progress, and they were really communicative throughout the process, keeping everything updated. They always made sure to follow through with any requests and were flexible when changes came up.
Web Development Review from Matt Malone
Were a startup in the safety-critical industry, so we needed a website that not only looked professional but also functioned seamlessly for our customers. Our main goal was to design the site flow in a way that clearly communicates our services, builds trust, and meets the needs of our target market. Delostyle Studio was brought on board to help us refine this process, ensuring the design is both user-friendly and aligned with the business goals. Delostyle Studio worked with us to design a comprehensive website. The scope included creating wireframes for each screen, ensuring the customer journey (from landing to sign-up) was smooth and intuitive. They provided us with high-fidelity designs based on the wireframes, fine-tuning the visuals to match our brand and make sure the flow was logical. The deliverables included clear, detailed wireframes, polished designs, and interactive prototypes to simulate user experience. This helped us visualize the entire site and understand how everything would work before development.Interactive Prototypes: They created interactive prototypes that allowed us to experience the user flow, which gave us confidence that the website would be functional and user-friendly. Delostyle was extremely organized and efficient. Everything was delivered on time, and they were always responsive to our needs. Whenever we had feedback or questions, they took it seriously and made the necessary changes quickly. We felt really supported throughout the entire process, and they always kept us updated on the status of things. What stood out the most was their level of involvement. The team didnt just work on the project and hand it overthey really took the time to understand our business, our customers, and our goals. Their communication was top-notch, and we always felt like they were genuinely invested in our success. The creativity they brought to the table and their ability to turn feedback into meaningful changes was impressive
Web Development Review from Dwight Dunton
We hired Delostyle Studio to help us build and launch our new mobile app. We needed them to make sure it would work smoothly on both iOS and Android, and get everything ready for launch on time. Delostyle Studio was responsible for developing the entire app. We gave them the basic ideas, some design assets, and the business goals we had, and they took care of everything technical. They worked on building the frontend with React Native, just how we wanted, and set up the backend with AWS, which was the platform we chose. They basically brought our app vision to life, from start to finish. We did regular check-ins and code reviews through Pull Requests, which helped us stay on the same page. Even though we faced some issues along the way, they were always quick to fix them and keep things moving. In the end, we got a fully functioning app that met all of our goals, and we were able to launch on schedule. App development can be tricky, and we expected some challenges to pop up. But Delostyle Studio did a great job of keeping us updated whenever something came up. They’d offer solutions quickly and made sure to keep things moving forward. Even when we hit a few roadblocks, they stayed on track with deadlines and worked hard to meet the timelines we had in place. What impressed us most about Delostyle Studio was how easy they were to work with. The team was really accessible and made communication so simple, even though we were working remotely. They were always available when we needed something and went the extra mile to make sure everything was running smoothly. It felt like they were truly part of our team. Honestly, the only small thing was the project management tools. They used a few different tools, which made organizing everything a bit tricky at first. It wasn’t a big deal, but it did take a little time to get things aligned. Other than that, everything was great.

We are particularly impressed by their professionalism, clear project deliverables, and adherence to budgets, which contributed to the success of their partnership on new projects.
eCommerce Development Review from Mark Clark
Our company faced multiple website issues after an unsuccessful experience with a previous vendor. So we were in need of reliable and proficient developers who could identify the problem and fully fix it. I have to say, we faced quite a challenge while choosing a new partner but only until we met the RiseServ team. During an initial phase of our collaboration they proved to us the transparency of services they provide and that all of our wishes were taken into consideration.RiseServ approached our project in a highly responsible manner. They thoroughly tested all tasks before deployment and administered the clients server. There were no bugs after the deployment, and that is what we wanted to achieve.

Recuiter Rashi Sahu connected me over Linkedin for job opportunity. Online Interview was scheduled for next day. I kept waiting at scheduled time for interview nobody showed up, after 15-20mins i pinged the recuiter over linkedin for which she replied that within next 15 mins they will connect me( i did smell the unprofessionalism).After 15 min online interview started. Interviewer asked about my profile and general questions.( No technical questions). And said they will inform me for next round.After 2 days or so i tried connecting recuiter, as expected no response. I did send email to share the feedback of first round of discussion, again- no response.I am not complaining as i have experienced such unprofessional attitude with recruiter earlier as well in other organisations.So this is just a kind request to all HR teams/recuiters. For you person is just a candidate who may or may not be a perfect fit for your requirement, but for a candidate you are a actual 'HUMAN' resource from whom he expects humble genuine response as your response/feedback helps him to improve and fine tune his upcoming career.Again I am requesting to share my proper feedback. (Eg. if have not cleared the first round, where i am lagging, what area i need to improve? Or whatever is the status).ThanksPrithviraj Soni

Staff augmentation companies can benefit your business by providing access to vetted global talent, helping you scale teams efficiently, shorten hiring timelines, and move projects forward faster.
They can also reduce overhead costs by up to 40% and give you greater flexibility and control over workflows and delivery.
Over time, this can strengthen business agility and resilience.
According to Deloitte's Global Outsourcing Survey, these are the main reasons for adopting third-party outsourced services:
Additionally, industry research reveals that staffing firms account for 40% of the global workforce movement, highlighting the continued role of staff augmentation companies across businesses and borders.
Staff augmentation services cost between $20 and $250+ per hour. The actual price depends on the role, skill level, staff location, team size, contract duration, and engagement model.
Here are the estimated hourly rates for each region:
| Junior roles | Senior roles | |
| North America (United States and Canada) | $75-$150 | $120-$250+ |
| Latin America | $30-$60 | $60-$100+ |
| Western Europe | $60-$100 | $80-$200+ |
| Eastern Europe | $30-$60 | $80-$120+ |
| Asia | $20-$50 | $80-$120 |
Generally, business process outsourcing roles, like customer service and data entry, are priced lower than IT positions.
For instance, United States BPO providers have an hourly rate of $35-$60, while IT staff augmentation starts at $75-$150 per hour.
Look for these signals of trust in a staff augmentation agency to ensure business and project fit:
Ask these questions before working with a staff augmentation company to verify credibility and reliability:
To choose the best staff augmentation company for your business, start by defining your needs and then compare each provider's capabilities, experience, and delivery model against those requirements. Here are some steps to guide you:
Rated 4.8 on Google and 4.7 on Trustpilot, DesignRush Agency Directory is a reliable resource for finding staff augmentation companies. We owe this to our executive selection team, which follows a strict screening process when featuring agencies on the platform, assessing key performance indicators, like portfolio, client reviews, and industry reputation.
Learn more about DesignRush Agency Ranking Methodology.
DesignRush sustains a directory of over 40,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
Staff augmentation firms provide a range of talent solutions depending on their area of specialization. Here are some of the most common staff augmentation services:
Some staff augmentation services also cover strategy consulting or fractional leadership support, such as CFOs, CTOs, or senior operations and manufacturing consultants.
Staff augmentation involves temporarily hiring external skilled professionals to expand your internal team's capacity. These professionals work alongside your in-house staff, follow your processes, and are managed directly by your team.
Because of this team augmentation, you have more direct control over day-to-day execution, workflows, and priorities while scaling faster.
Outsourcing, by contrast, involves hiring an external vendor to handle an entire project or business function. In this model, the vendor usually manages the team, processes, and delivery, while your company oversees results and business goals.
Outsourcing is often a better fit for clearly defined projects or ongoing functions. For example, a company might outsource mobile app development for a food delivery solution to an external custom software development company.
In short, staff augmentation scales your team, while outsourcing scales your operations as a whole.
Staff augmentation entails hiring external professionals to fill a skill gap or expand internal team capacity in areas such as your engineering team, marketing team, or HR department. These skilled professionals work as an extension of your dedicated team and follow your company's processes, tools, and management structure.
On the other hand, managed services involve outsourcing a specific function to a third-party provider that is responsible for delivering and managing that service. This model is especially common in IT, where a provider might take ownership of functions such as cybersecurity, custom software development, or help desk support using its own processes, tools, and service standards.
The key difference is control: with staff augmentation, you manage the people; with managed services, the provider manages the function.
The right choice depends on your hiring timeline, budget, need for specialized skills, and whether the role is temporary or long-term.
Consider hiring a staff augmentation company if:
Consider hiring a full-time employee if:
Typically, the onboarding process for augmented staff takes 90 days. However, some companies offer 14 days, while others may require 6 months.
The actual timeline will depend on the role, level of seniority, and complexity of your systems and processes.
In many cases, initial onboarding can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, full ramp-up may take longer, especially for highly specialized or leadership roles.
For instance, a junior bookkeeper may only need 7-14 days for onboarding. By contrast, a senior finance consultant or CFO-level advisor working with proprietary systems and cross-functional processes may need several weeks or even a few months to fully ramp up.
According to research by the QX Global Group, the industries seeing the highest growth in staff augmentation are:
Additionally, these segments are forecasted to drive staffing market growth by 2026:
We have curated a list of top staff augmentation providers on DesignRush across multiple price points, so you can identify a vendor that's within your budget.
| High budget: $50,000+ |

| Mid budget: $25,000-$50,000 |
