What We Actually Do
Hiring senior technical talent is slow, expensive, and risky. A staff augmentation engagement gives you access to proven specialists within weeks - embedded in your team, working in your tools, and accountable to your outcomes.
Our augmentation pool is drawn from practitioners who work across our service lines. Every specialist we place has real-world enterprise experience - not CV-inflated project lists. We back every placement with a technical fit assessment before introductions.
Engagements run on a minimum 3-month basis and can extend to 12+ months for embedded roles. We handle contracting, compliance, and time zone coordination so you can focus on the work.

Every deliverable is documented, signed off, and yours to keep. No black-box handovers, no knowledge held hostage.
Technical Requirements Workshop
A structured session to define the technical skills, experience depth, time zone coverage, and collaboration style required for the role.
Shortlist & Technical Assessment
A vetted shortlist of 2–3 candidates with technical assessment results and written assessments of fit against your specific requirements.
Onboarding Support
We support the specialist's onboarding onto your tools, codebase, and processes - including a 30-day check-in to address any integration issues.
Ongoing Performance Review
Monthly review of engagement quality, delivery against agreed outcomes, and a structured process for raising and resolving performance issues.
Knowledge Transfer Planning
For fixed-term engagements, a structured knowledge transfer plan ensures continuity when the specialist rotates off the engagement.
Replacement Guarantee
If a placed specialist is not the right fit within the first 30 days, we replace them at no additional cost.
