Staff augmentation is the process of adding talent to your existing team through a third party. This could be anything from 10 engineers joining 10 different teams, to a single developer with niche expertise

Staff augmentation removes the overhead associated with sourcing, recruiting, training and retaining talent. It can help you meet short and long term technology goals with added flexibility and instant access to a high-quality talent pool.

Process of Staff Augmentation Services

Discovery Call

During the discovery call, we understand the skill-sets you need, the experience level (beginner, expert, senior), number of engineers needed and the lead time. Put the requirements as the clear Service orders and go back to our resource management team that does sourcing, recruitment, onboarding and everything else that you need to onboard the right candidates.

Prelim Shortlisting and Interview by Agicent

We source the right CVs from the inhouse resource pool or from the market within 3 days, get their details and line up them for our round of interview for the screening. Since we are a software development team ourselves, our CTO and senior Technical people take their preliminary round and establish more than 90 % matching between the job profile and the candidates before we send them to you for further screening.

In some case, we also give out technical tests or machine tests before shortlisting them for the final client facing round. We also get free trials from senior technical members just to make sure they are actually fit for the job.

An HR round is also done by us where we evaluate the candidate on soft skills and overall character in order to establish their compatibility with the forthcoming job.

Client Interview and Onboarding

We lineup the shortlisted candidates to be interviewed by your technical team and once you give a go ahead we start the onboarding process.

The onboarding process includes negotiating their notice period, their rates, working hours, relocation (if needed) and all other important aspects related to the job.

Account Management: Post Onboarding

Thats the beautiful part, no matter whether you hire one person from us or a team as large as 50 youll get a dedicated project manager and an account manager through out the lifecycle of our engagement. We introduce more project managers as the team size increases and put a super manager on the whole process.

So even though the team will work at your disposal all the time, youll still have our backup management as well as close supervision and administration to ensure that the team youve hired is running smoothly and delivering the intended without burning extra budget.

Billing and Invoicing Cycle

An invoice for the services will be raised at the start of every work month that you can pay using various methods (both online or offline such as bank wire transfer). We support almost all credit and debit cards and ACH transfers across the English speaking world and especially the United States of America.

Staff Augmentation Services

During the lockdown, we helped building a large team of deep tech software engineers in the domain of Telecom, DevOps, Embedded and also in banking industry for Indias largest IT Company TCS. We recruited super specialist software engineers on a variety of technologies for work from home setup and onboarded 9 of them in just a week and then added more people as the account grew.

We hired across all the cities in the country, put account manager for clients convenience and ran the smooth process which enabled the client to release there critical government level projects on time and within budget. Our billing cycle was smooth and transparent as we only put a transparent markup on the overcall cost of the resource to us.

Our staff augmentation teams work across Telecom network projects, OTT Apps, Banking, retail, ecommerce, gaming, ERPs and Industrial and governmental projects.

We successfully managed common challenges like last minute backing out of candidates using our own recruitment acumen that involved background checks, backup selected candidates, right two party beneficial agreements and some soft skills.

Reasons Why Companies Opt For Staff Augmentation

Staff augmentation is a vast term when it comes to the profiles of professionals hired as an external source who will join the in-house team. But, precisely in case of a Tech company, staff augmentation is required under some circumstances such as

In incorporating new and advanced technology to reach and meet the dynamic advancements rapidly and also to the market demands.

Service-based organizations cracking short-term projects, instead of hiring for the long-term full-time team, staff augmentation can enable the company to accomplish and fulfill more effectively and in an optimizing manner.

Staff augmentation provides modularity. For example, in the case of an app development company aiming to develop a multi-platform app, they can simply go for staff augmentation to build a platform-specific team.

For long term cost benefits, flexibility of operations, less management and compliance overload, and less recruitment hassles.

Sometimes, for reaching a certain time limit. For example, an app development company supposed to launch any new feature or any bug fixing requires more manpower. Staff augmentation can enable the company to meet the same, without disturbing in-house employees who might be working on other projects.

Scope of website maintenance services - What does web maintenance service entail?

Anyone who has a business or a practice or a brand is a website owner, however major entities that use our website maintenance services regularly are as follows:

Businesses having information/ lead generation websites built on a CMS like wordpress or wix or just custom code. They usually use websites to generate business leads and also to share information about their services/ products to others.

E-commerce Websites

for whom the website is the major critical component of their business because they get all the orders from there, it is their store front and has to run seamlessly all the time. E-com websites need a higher level of maintenance regularly compared to other sites.

Professionals websites

such as Doctors, Dentists, Coaches, lawyers, chiropractors, makeup artists, Chefs, DJs who get bookings on their websites.

Functional Web Apps or SaaS apps

Functional web applications similar to mobile apps which not only offer information but also functionality and features like a hotel booking website, flight booking website and so on. They obviously need a real high level of maintenance regularly compared to regular biz websites, and for such web apps maintenance and development we recommend using our full stack web development and maintenance services.

Apps Landing page websites

Usually the websites describing the apps functionality with videos and screenshots, also a blog and may be a subscription option too. Examples are Fastrackfasting, Hasfit, and Studiothinkapp.

Limitation Of Website Maintenance Services

Like anything else in the world, website maintenance services too have some limitations like these:

Cost Constraints

Website maintenance can be financially demanding, leading to potential limitations in the frequency and depth of upkeep activities due to budget constraints.

Downtime Due to Server and Hosting Maintenance

Temporary downtime during updates poses a challenge, impacting the user experience and potentially causing frustration or business loss.

Dependency On Third-Party Providers

Relying on third-party plugins introduces dependencies that can lead to vulnerabilities or compatibility issues, affecting the overall stability of the website.

Limited Scalability Of Framework Based Websites.

As websites grow, the scalability of maintenance efforts becomes a challenge in cae of framework based websites (like wordpress, wix) and they require more complex and resource intensive process. When websites grow, it is always better to switch to as much custom code for easy scalability as you can.

Security Risks

The constant need for vigilance against emerging security threats is resource-intensive, and failure to address vulnerabilities promptly can compromise website security.

Resource Intensity

Website maintenance can be resource-intensive, requiring skilled personnel and time, which may pose challenges for some organizations.

Technical Challenges

Adapting to evolving technologies and ensuring compatibility may present technical challenges, especially for older websites.

Limited Automation

Some maintenance tasks lack automation, leading to manual interventions that can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

Balancing Speed and Quality

Striking the right balance between quick updates and thorough testing is crucial, as rushed updates may introduce errors, while cautious appro aches may delay important improvements.

Content Management Challenges

Managing and updating content effectively can be challenging, with inconsistencies potentially affecting SEO, user experience, and the relevance of the website.

Significant changes to website design or structure may disrupt user familiarity, impacting engagement and potentially causing resistance to new features or layouts.
