      Techforce working on the transition of our website name from Grande Exhibitions to Grande Experiences. The project involved the creation of a clone website where we could apply the new brand and update all content to reflect the name change before pointing the new and old domains at this new site. At the projects commencement, all details were scoped out and clarified to ensure that everything went according to plan. Through the entire project, Bhavin and the Techforce Team were professional,

      Web Development Review from Fanny Gotschall

      Bhavin is brilliant, and the project's success is largely because of his personal involvement. Over recent months, Fanny Gotschall Studios collaborated with Bhavin in the role of art director for one of its top Midwest clients. While the client had a clear creative vision, Bhavin and his team at Techforce Global consistently executed it to perfection. For every scope change, Bhavin had the appropriate team and ensured all parties were aligned. (Verified via email)

      Off the Grid has had a longstanding developer partnership with Admios. Recently, the client trusted Admios with building a complex React Native POS system and a guest order-ahead app. Given the complexities of the project, Off the Grid wouldn't have chosen any other agency to work with. The Admios' developers did an excellent job, the management was proactive, and the software quality is exceptional. Admios is highly recommended. (Verified via email)

      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.

      I wanted to outsource front end development while maintaining back end services myself.They started with existing React SPAs, cleaned them up, found and removed bugs, improved user interaction, made clear requests for new endpoints which I implemented and they tested and used.The time difference between my office in eastern USA and theirs in Moravia worked well, as we could meet at their afternoon/my morning and I had the rest of the day to deal with back end or questions they might have.Their professionalism and competency were impressive.I will continue working with them, for years, I hope, in maintenance mode or when we need to expand features.

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.
