      Kelly Services is amazing!! They offer more benefits including PTO and paid holiday. My recruiter was very nice upbeat and helpful. When one job wasn’t a good fit she was able to find me another instead of dropping or ghosting me. Very encouraging and welcoming and answered all of my questions without being annoyed lol glad to be apart of the team!

      Approved PTO, showed confirmation in pipkins, showed PTO on my schedule but when it came to paying me, they said it was not approved.Promised pay raises every year, but didn’t happen last 2 years.Promised pay raise with each training. 29 additional trainings occurred. Only 2 raises.They changed PTO policy the same week it took effect. Resulting in almost all employees losing PTO because the new policy didn’t allow it to roll over.Total loss due to promises not fulfilled: approx. $40,000 over a 6 year period.

      I recently had my initial meeting with Ziad Orow, and I came away truly impressed. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attentiveness, making it easy to feel comfortable and understood. Ziad took the time to learn about my experience and aspirations, and provided thoughtful advice on potential career paths. His clear communication and upbeat demeanor made the conversation both productive and enjoyable. I’m excited to continue working with him moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

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%
