What does a good IT Staff Augmentation proposal must have?

IT staff augmentation means hiring software engineers to participate in a project and work as a team with a company's internal employees. For these reasons, those responsible for making IT decisions should appreciate the fact that partners have the following skills in their offers:

  • Recommend developers who have the experience required for the project.
  • Be able to implement staff quickly.
  • Offers developers engaged with only one project.
  • Have recruitment procedures based on skill assessment to find the best skills.

Indications for identifying a difficult staff provider

Not all information you receive from qualified IT participants meets your needs or expectations, so you should discard those that do not meet the previous requirements. There are a few signals through which you can identify that you have a problematic partner. Here are a few:

  1. Problems can arise when a partner does not seem flexible in terms of adapting your system and working methods.

  2. Late responses can be a problem because you expect an effective and quick answer from your provider and to be receptive towards your inquiries.

  3. If an augmented staff partner gives you talent of the best quality, this staff you’re getting needs to act accordingly. If the developers don't have the promised quality, you have to alert yourself.

To find the talent you need in your IT project and stay within your budget, you need to review the offers of potential partners. Feel free to ask all the questions clearly and review all recruitment processes, because not all companies that have augmented IT staff services use the same ones.
