Resource Augmentation

Overview

Scale your workforce quickly with experienced professionals who integrate seamlessly into your business.

Sometimes the problem is not that you need a new supplier. It is that you need three more capable people, starting in a few weeks, on the work your team is already doing.

Resource augmentation is the straightforward version of that: experienced professionals who join your team, work on your tools, attend your stand-ups and follow your process. You direct the work. We handle finding them, contracting, payroll and the administrative weight around it.

It suits a few situations particularly well. A delivery date that will not move and a team that cannot get there alone. A specialist skill needed for one phase of a project but not permanently. Cover for parental or extended leave. A trial period before committing to a permanent headcount. Or a capability you intend to build in-house eventually, but need running long before hiring could realistically deliver it.

We place software engineers across common stacks, AI and data specialists, project and delivery managers, business analysts, QA engineers, designers, and finance and administrative support. Where a client needs several people at once, we assemble a small team who have worked together before, which removes a fortnight of forming-and-storming.

The thing that decides whether this works is integration, so we take it seriously. Candidates are screened for how they operate inside someone else's team, not only for technical ability — joining an existing codebase and an existing set of habits is a distinct skill. We expect people to be contributing in days, and we check in during the first weeks to catch a poor fit early rather than discovering it at the end of a quarter.

Engagements run monthly, for a fixed project, or open-ended, and scale in both directions without a renegotiation each time. If someone is not right, we replace them; that is our problem to fix, not yours to manage around. And when a placement works well and you want to make it permanent, we have a straightforward route for that rather than a penalty for it.
