Work out what to build

Control of the project remains yours, and you keep your strategy intact, distributing the work among all team members – both in-house and outsourced. Our specialists contribute as members of your team and you manage them accordingly.

We provide qualified, professional software talent to suit your needs. We then help on-board our specialists, and support their ongoing performance, learning and development via fortnightly 1-on-1’s and feedback sessions.

Services like staff augmentation are sometimes perceived as more expensive than hiring directly.

However, once you consider the direct and indirect costs of a permanent hire (sick leave, holiday leave, superannuation, hardware, training, recruitment fees, redundancy and replacement costs and the hassle and loss of focus it involves) vs staff augmentation, the cost is similar. Don’t take our word for it – contact us and we’ll share a comparison calculator so you can make an informed choice. 

The value generated by staff augmentation is far higher than the cost as a result of the flexibility, scalability and skills it provides. 

No, we provide all of the resources the specialists require. You don’t have to worry about hardware, desk space, perks and benefits or training. Specialists have access to our training and development resources, as well as our internal staff. 

No, There are no permanent costs, no need for sick leave, holiday leave, superannuation, or payroll tax.

We check your requirements against our bench to see if there’s someone suitable for immediate deployment. If there’s nobody suitable on our bench, we search our existing database of 20,000+ local candidates (many of them pre-screened), advertise via targeted ads and job boards, and reach out proactively to outstanding candidates.

We book interviews and have the first profiles ready for you to assess as soon as possible. Once candidate(s) have been vetted and deemed a good fit by both our team and yours, we start the onboarding process. We have a thorough and impartial interview process, consisting of the below steps: 
– Resume screening
– Phone screening
– Candidate completes a practical test online which is assessed by hands on, technical experts
– Interview – a mix of questions on both cultural and skills fit. After the interview we will meet with you to discuss feedback on the candidate and the interview. 
– Thorough reference checks – with structured questions enabling a thorough evaluation of the candidates past performance. Not just a box ticking exercise – this is an opportunity to dig deeper to understand motivations, culture fit and contribution.
