Due to the increasing demand of needs and staff turnover, IT departments are finding it hard to meet the demands from other areas of the organization. However, Staff Augmentation helps organizations to face these challenges by adding talent to work teams in an agile and scalable manner, while reducing recruitment costs. By assigning profiles to work teams for a limited period of time, Staff Augmentation enables the organization to increase or decrease the area staffing effectively, without the need for direct hiring. In addition, it provides cost reduction and agility to the development processes, since employees can be hired for pre-agreed periods of time that can be renewed automatically.
As part of the strategy, IT departments should consider having a percentage of their staff as permanent employees, while assigning a percentage to the staff augmentation mode hiring, to provide flexibility to the service and thus be able to increase or decrease the work teams according to the context and the needs.
The IT departments that have defined a strategy to hire experts based on this service mode, will be better prepared to meet and fulfill the requests received, regardless of staff turnover workload.
