Staff augmentation FAQs

§ tech staffing & staff augmentation
What is staff augmentation?

Staff augmentation is a flexible tech-staffing model where you embed pre-vetted external engineers, designers or QA into your existing team to fill specific roles. You direct their day-to-day work; Scrums.com handles sourcing, vetting, contracts and HR. It's ideal when you need to add capacity or a specific skill fast without the overhead and lock-in of permanent hiring.

How is staff augmentation different from hiring a dedicated team?

Staff augmentation adds individual vetted roles into your existing team, which you manage. A Dedicated Development Team is a full, balanced squad (engineers, optional PM) aligned to a roadmap and assembled for you. Choose augmentation to top up capacity or a niche skill; choose a dedicated team for end-to-end, roadmap-aligned delivery.

How is it different from just hiring a software developer?

Hiring a permanent developer means you own the full recruitment, employment and retention process. With staff augmentation you get access to a private network of 10,000+ pre-vetted professionals in ~21 days, on flexible contracts — no job ads, no lengthy interview loops, and you can scale up or down as your needs change.

What roles are available?

Engineers, product managers, designers, QA, AI/ML experts, architects, and more — matched to your stack and workflow.

How fast can you place someone?

Our efficient tech staffing process typically places talent within 21 days from request to start date. Faster in some cases.

Do you offer on-site or hybrid options?

Yes. Depending on your region, we support remote, hybrid, or fully on-site talent.

Can I replace or scale talent as my needs evolve?

Absolutely. You can scale up talent with 30 days' notice, or replace underperforming talent — no penalty.

How is talent management handled?

You manage the talent's day-to-day work, performance and delivery directly. Scrums.com conducts monthly one-on-ones with each team member to gather feedback, identify blockers and share insights with you — ensuring alignment and retention without disrupting your flow.

Do your augmented team members use AI in their workflows?

They can, dependent on your environments. As an organization we are all AI-fluent — using tools like Copilot, ChatGPT and platform-specific assistants to improve velocity and code quality across your stack.

Do you offer discounts for larger teams or longer commitments?

Yes. We offer tiered volume discounts based on the number of roles and duration of engagement, with tiers at 3+, 10+ and 30+ roles. Whether you're scaling a product or building an offshore development centre, we'll structure pricing that supports your growth.
