\"staff-augmentation-partner\"<\/p>\n

When a business decides to hire augmented staff<\/a> or build a robust distributed engineering team, the primary goal should be to find a vendor that takes the time to understand their client’s specific staffing needs. Often, a company’s outsourcing strategy is as unique as the company itself. Therefore, your IT staffing augmentation partner<\/a> should be as flexible and resourceful as the business you run.<\/p>\n

One of the first steps in choosing a staff augmentation partner is to determine your company’s specific staffing needs. As you seek individuals with specialized skills to accelerate your project or address skill gaps in your team, it\u2019s crucial to consider the scope of the projects your new staff will be working on. Additionally, assess how quickly your internal teams can integrate temporary workers, the effectiveness of your communication channels with onshore or offshore workers, and how well your outsourcing partner can handle staffing requests and adapt their approach if necessary.<\/p>\n

This detailed and informative guide will walk you through a few simple but important steps to help you choose a staff augmentation partner<\/a> that can meet your company’s staffing needs.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Evalue Your Staffing Needs<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

What needs help on your team? This may seem like a simple question, but it’s important to answer it before you start looking for outside engineering or creative talent because there are many ways to build a distributed team. Are you looking for software developers to fill specific skill gaps in your engineering department? You might need to set up a reliable remote development team so that key in-house employees can work on a business-critical project, or you might be trying to deal with a lack of office space. Or, your project managers may have asked for more engineering resources to meet a deadline for a project coming up soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The point is that no two companies will have the same needs or requirements for additional staff. You’ll need to figure out your company’s staffing needs, whether you’re looking for front-end developers or product designers for the length of a project or a web analytics developer or accessibility specialist for specific phases. Talk to your HR executives, managers, and employees to get an idea of where you need to improve specific general skill sets and each project.<\/span><\/p>\n

After you’ve made a staffing plan that covers your company’s most important outsourcing needs, you can start looking for a staffing partner with the tools, experience, and expertise to help your business stay ahead of the competition in a tight global hiring market.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Research Your Staff Augmentation Partner’s Experience and Expertise<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

By checking a potential staffing partner’s experience and knowledge in your field, you’ll be able to hire a company that can give your company the extra IT staff it needs while also <\/span>managing distributed teams<\/span> or dealing with staffing problems that may arise during a project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check a vendor’s work history and professional credentials in much the same way you would when hiring a full-time worker:<\/span><\/p>\n
