Answer United Reviews & Testimonials
Jackie B's Review Sourced from Google
Extremely disappointing experience with Answer United. We signed up expecting a professional answering service that would follow our script, properly represent our company, and provide transcripts/recordings of calls as promised. None of that happened.Within the first weekend of service, we lost multiple jobs due to calls being handled poorly and the script not being followed. The representatives often sounded unfamiliar with our business and procedures, which reflected badly on our company.When we requested transcripts and recordings, we were told would be available; they were never provided. Customer service was also very frustrating to deal with. When I asked for a refund because the service was not delivered as agreed, I was told they had already invested time setting up the account and script. We invested employee time into that process as well, only for the agreed-upon procedures to be ignored.After bringing up these issues, communication largely stopped, and calls/emails went unanswered. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want an answering service that will professionally represent your business.
Deep R's Review Sourced from Google
I used their service for a little over a year. They are very good at taking calls and usually answer them promptly. They would then pass on the message via email, though often some things in the message didn't make it across. However, if that was all I needed, then an answering machine would have been enough, I hired them as a virtual receptionist and to make appointments. Ultimately I left their service because, after more than a year they seemed to know very little about my business, they routinely had trouble answering callers' basic questions about the business. They often bungled appointment taking and I felt they were costing me business.I worked with them multiple times to change the script but still to no avail, they just didn't do a very good job as a VR.I think using them as a message-taking service is fine but would not expect anything more of them.

ITAdOn has helped us build a secure IT infrastructure that gives us peace of mind (especially where there are a lot of cybersecurity and ransomware risks nowadays). Every staff member is very competent, responsive, and easy to work with. They treat us like their own and do whatever it takes to properly get the job done. The team members at ITAdOn are truly the professionals you want on your team helping you out when your technology snags an issue.

Some agencies pay for sponsored placement, clearly labeled and held to the same vetting standards.
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%
