Software Development Review from Dan Adika
Infograins has helped us develop our custom software system. Before we signed the contract, we had initial pre-sales meetings, during which I provided them with documentation. We also signed an NDA so that they could look at everything I provided. Then, Infograins came back with an in-depth project proposal of about 50 pages and we signed the contract. As for the technology stack, we're using React.js, Python, and Django to create this software piece. Moreover, our whole backend is hosted in AWS. We're very happy and satisfied with how everything has turned out and with the whole Infograins team. Their willingness to discuss issues, fix problems, and help us with anything we need is great, so I wouldn't want to have developed this product, especially the MVP with anyone else. I can't think of anything Infograins could change. Going forward with other projects, we might find some improvements. Thus far, we're very happy with them

We first worked with TechHub in 2023 on a software development project and had a very positive experience with their team’s technical capability, communication, and delivery quality. When we decided to build a more advanced AI and IoT platform this year, we returned to TechHub to set up a dedicated Offshore Development Center (ODC) team of 8 engineers.This project involved complex requirements around AI integration, IoT systems, and processing large-scale structured and semi-structured data. Initially, we considered a mixed delivery model with both Vietnam and India teams. However, after multiple technical discussions, architecture reviews, and candidate interviews, we were impressed by the quality of engineers provided by TechHub and decided to build the entire dedicated team with them.The onboarding process was smooth, the engineers adapted quickly to our workflows, and the team demonstrated strong ownership and problem-solving skills from the beginning.

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 |
