Whether you are looking for a single position or staffing multiple squads simultaneously, IT Staff Augmentation services is definitely an amazing option to be considered for all types of specializations within your tech department.

Is Staff Augmentation Ideal
for Your Organization?

The first question you must always ask yourself before engaging into Staff Augmentation is: Do I have the managerial skills to properly manage tech professionals? Is there anyone in my current organization that can fill that role?

If the answer to any of those questions is yes, then you are definitely ready to start your Staff Augmentation engagement!

What many executives in both start-ups and old fashioned businesses do not realize is that this engagement model was tailored to bring scalability in tech sourcing, cost-efficiency in tech operations and increased effectiveness in matching IT talent to necessary open positions.

However, for that to happen there must be someone within the organization who possess the management and technical skills to properly validate the provided candidates, onboard and train them during the ramp up stage and periodically evaluate the roadmap they will be working on.

The amazing professionals we source inherently become part of the client’s organization and if the client does not have the conditions nor the desire to fully manage these resources, then most definitely a different engagement model must be considered so the client can enjoy the full benefits of the service Luby is providing.
