Hiring developers using team augmentation
IT staff augmentation to gain pre-vetted coders for my startup
Do you need skilled coders for your startup’s next MVP? Are you looking for proven talent to help get your software development project off the ground? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then staff augmentation services are the right solution for you.
IT staff augmentation services will allow you to hire developers that have been pre-vetted. They have gone through an 👉 in-house recruitment process 👈 to make sure that their skill sets are top-notch.
Why should startups choose IT staff augmentation services?
If you own a Startup company, you need to be very intentional with who you hire. You probably have gained money from a venture capitalist to develop an MVP.
This MVP may later be built upon to become a full-scale product or service. So you need to hire developers to help develop the MVP, knowing that you run the risk of your idea not taking off. Or perhaps your idea remains at the MVP stage.
This makes staff augmentation services the perfect solution. You can:
- hire developers for a certain period of time without any long-term risks.
- rent out developers necessary to get your MVP off the ground.
- if necessary you can always extend your contract. If not, then once the initial contract is done, our developers move on.
Also, you have a safety net that allows you to switch developers, add more developers or remove developers. You have room to pivot if something changes within your project or company.
Minimum viable product development process
Building an MVP with staff augmentation
For startups, developing an MVP is essential to test their product idea and get feedback from their target audience. This way they can improve product development in industries like software as fast as possible.
The MVP development process typically starts with a detailed analysis of the project requirements, followed by designing the architecture of the application and coding it. With staff augmentation, startups can ensure that they have a team of experienced coders who can quickly develop a functional MVP within a short time frame.
