What's the minimum engagement period?

One month. Most clients engage for 3-6 months, but there's no long-term lock-in. We ask for 2 weeks notice before ending an engagement so we can wrap up work properly.

How is this different from hiring freelancers?

Freelancers juggle multiple clients. Our developers work full-time on your project. They attend your standups, use your tools, and are accountable to your team lead. We also handle HR, payroll, and provide backup coverage if someone is sick.

What if the developer isn't a good fit?

We replace them within one week at no extra cost. It's rare—our vetting process has a 95% first-match success rate—but we guarantee you're never stuck with someone who isn't working out.

Do you provide project management?

Staff augmentation developers report to your team lead or PM. We provide a monthly check-in to ensure satisfaction, but day-to-day management is yours. If you need PM support, consider our dedicated team model.
