Contract & staff augmentation
Add vetted engineers to your team, month by month
Scale up for a project or a deadline with engineers who work inside your team, your tools and your sprint rituals. Scale down when you're done.

You need more hands now, but permanent headcount takes months to approve and fill.
Agencies don't integrate
Outsourced projects drift because the people aren't part of your day-to-day.
Hiring risk
Committing to permanent hires for short-term work is expensive.
