Head of Business Development at KeenEthics
5.0★
Chatbot Solution Review from Daria Hlavcheva
KeenEthics onboarded Lionwood Software to develop an AI-powered chatbot that could analyze photos of vehicle damage and provide an estimated repair cost for insurance company. The project focused on applying AI to a traditionally manual part of the insurance claims process. The solution needed to interpret car damage from uploaded images, identify relevant damage, and translate the analysis into a cost estimate that could support faster and more consistent claims assessment. Lionwood Software took ownership of the AI development and worked closely with the KeenEthics team to align the solution with the product requirements and insurance use case. Their team demonstrated a strong understanding of both the technical challenges of image-based damage assessment and the business logic behind insurance claims. They were proactive in discussing requirements, clarifying edge cases, and addressing dependencies throughout the development process. The resulting solution helped automate an important part of the vehicle damage assessment workflow, reducing the need for purely manual evaluation and creating a foundation for faster claims processing. Lionwood Software proved to be a reliable technology partner with the expertise to work on AI-driven products where technical implementation needs to be closely aligned with real-world business requirements.

Staff Augmentation Review from Dzmitry Novikau
I worked with Kernelics on a crypto project where we needed help with both design and development. From the beginning, the team was easy to communicate with and clearly understood what we were trying to build.
The designer improved our initial ideas by making the user experience more intuitive. They suggested better ways to structure the navigation and user flow, which helped reduce friction and made the product easier to use.
We also brought in one of their developers, who worked alongside our existing team member. They collaborated well, completed the work on time, and handled some challenging parts of the exchange functionality without any issues.
Overall, Kernelics delivered quality work, stayed within budget, and were professional throughout the process. I’d recommend them to others looking for a reliable design and development partner, especially for crypto or fintech projects.

Web Development Review from Stsiapan Kolesau
I CEO at the construction company specializing in modular buildings and their components. With years of experience and multiple projects, we decided to expand our online presence beyond our two existing landing pages. We needed a corporate portal to showcase products, manage content easily, and dynamically calculate product costs.
On a recommendation, we chose Kernelics, and their organized approach and clear task division impressed us from the start. They began with an in-depth analysis of our needs and a competitive review. For the design, we requested a minimalist style, and the results were spot on, requiring only minor tweaks to meet our expectations.
For development, Kernelics selected React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with Strapi for the admin panel. They also integrated Google Sheets to handle dynamic price calculations, enabling instant updates on the site by simply modifying the spreadsheeta feature weve found incredibly useful.
Now, two years later, the portal continues to support our growth, and were planning new developments for our main site.
Kernelics stood out for their transparent approach and professionalism at every stage, and I confidently recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable web development partner.

We needed to quickly expand our dev team to build out a new feature set, and Hivex helped us find and bring on skilled remote developers to make that happen. The devs hit every deadline we set, sometimes even early. If we needed changes or had questions, they were super responsive - usually got back to us within a couple hours.

We had a temporary gap in our technical team due to some transitions, and we needed to keep our development momentum going strong. Hivex provided us with skilled developers who seamlessly integrated into our team. They had the expertise we needed and filled the gap until we made permanent hires. Our collaboration with Hivex made sure our projects kept going without delay, we didn't lose our development momentum, and there wasn't any disruption. It was a huge help during a challenging time.

Aman Setia's Review Sourced from Google
The worst experience with the company. First they will call you and will ask you to go for 2 hours exam just like a half yearly or annual exam conducted during school time. After that they will ask you to wait for long. The interviewer will come and will ask only about your past company to attain it's strategies to move ahead and then they will ask you to go as we have a negative results regarding you. They will make you feel comfortable as if you will be selected and then the interviewer himself will be unsecured after seeing your profile, aa you are going to be a threat to them. As of now, they are not having any urgent requirements but calling you to waste your precious time only. Prefer not to go for an interview over here.

Squareboat has been a special part of my journey as a Mobile Engineer for the past 2 years (and counting). What truly makes it a great place to work is the people. You’re surrounded by incredibly smart driven individuals. That’s what makes showing up to work every day genuinely enjoyable.
From collaborating on diverse, challenging projects to learning from peers across different teams, the experience has been both rewarding and memorable. The culture is relaxed yet focused, and there’s always room to grow, explore, and contribute meaningfully. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to join a solid tech team!

Experience at Square Boat has been awesome! I've felt super welcome from day one. Even though I'm just an intern, I feel like my input matters and I've had chances to develop skills I didn't anticipate.
I'm early in my professional journey, but working at Square Boat has given me a real glimpse of what quality service actually looks like. The dedication to clients is genuinely inspiring.

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Staff Augmentation Companies
What services do staff augmentation firms typically provide?
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:
IT staff augmentation: UI/UX designers, software developers, mobile app developers, data analysts, QA testers, cybersecurity specialists, and DevOps engineers
Finance and accounting staffing: Bookkeepers, accountants, financial analysts, and compliance professionals
Creative and marketing staffing: Content writers, graphic designers, social media managers, and performance marketers
Manufacturing and operations staffing: Industrial engineers, quality control inspectors, and supply chain analysts
Some staff augmentation services also cover strategy consulting or fractional leadership support, such as CFOs, CTOs, or senior operations and manufacturing consultants.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and outsourcing?
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.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and managed services?
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.
When should you hire a staff augmentation company instead of a full-time employee?
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:
You need to scale your team quickly based on seasonal demand, project spikes, or changing workloads.
You need specialized expertise that is not available in-house or is difficult to hire locally.
You want more staffing flexibility without making a long-term hiring commitment.
You need support for a defined project or short- to mid-term initiative.
Consider hiring a full-time employee if:
You need someone in a permanent role with long-term ownership and continuity.
The role requires deep knowledge of your brand, internal culture, or business context.
The position involves highly sensitive responsibilities that require close internal oversight.
How long does the typical onboarding process take for augmented staff?
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.
What industries are seeing the most growth in staff augmentation?
According to research by the QX Global Group, the industries seeing the highest growth in staff augmentation are:
Locum tenens: 12%
Education: 10%
Engineering: 3%
Retained search: 5%
Additionally, these segments are forecasted to drive staffing market growth by 2026:
Healthcare: 6%
IT: 5%
Industrial staffing: 3%
