What is Staff Augmentation?
Staff augmentation refers to a flexible mode of hiring where organizations provisionally engage expert professionals into their workforce to address project demands and fill skill gaps to handle peak workloads. These employees are still hired by a supplier or an agency; however, they work with the in-house team. The benefits of staff augmentation are that it scales quickly, has cost control, and has niche expertise without long-term commitments. It is applied extensively in IT, engineering, marketing, and operations to guarantee the project delivery in time and guarantee productivity.
