Having the right software development team in place is crucial for success. However, building and maintaining a skilled tech team can be challenging and expensive. That’s where staff augmentation comes in. At AgilityFeat, we offer a comprehensive staff augmentation service to help you quickly and efficiently scale your team with top talent from Latin America. In this blog post, we’ll explore what staff augmentation is and how it can benefit your business.

What is Staff Augmentation?

Staff augmentation is a flexible staffing strategy that allows you to add skilled professionals to your existing team on a temporary or long-term basis. Instead of going through the lengthy and costly process of hiring full-time employees, you can leverage a network of talented software developers to fill your immediate needs. This approach provides you with the technical skills required to meet your project goals without the overhead associated with traditional hiring.

Our Approach to Staff Augmentation

Since 2010, AgilityFeat has been at the forefront of agile nearshoring, helping US clients connect with top talent across Latin America. Here’s how our staff augmentation service works:

  • Contracting and Payments: We manage all contracting and international payments, ensuring compliance with local labor laws.
  • Remote Collaboration: Our developers are proficient in English and experienced in working remotely with teams across different time zones.

Benefits of Staff Augmentation

Staff augmentation offers benefits such as cost savings, flexibility in team growth, access to specialized skills, and hassle-free administrative management.

Reduced Salaries

Typically, you can expect a 20-30% reduction in costs compared to similar US salaries. This allows you to allocate your budget more effectively and invest in other critical areas of your business.

Scalable Team Growth

Staff augmentation provides a low-commitment model for team growth. You can easily scale your team up or down based on project demands without the long-term obligations of hiring full-time employees.

Technical Expertise

In Latin America, there is lower competition for specific technical skills compared to the US market. This means you can find highly qualified developers with the expertise you need, often more quickly and easily.

Administrative Ease

We take care of all the administrative tasks, including recruiting, contracting, and international payments. This allows you to focus on your core business activities while we handle the complexities of staffing.
