With today’s talent shortage, finding skilled IT professionals can be challenging. IT staff augmentation provides a solution by allowing you to temporarily “borrow” expertise.
The war for tech talent rages on. Software engineers, data scientists, cybersecurity experts – if you need them, chances are you’re struggling to find enough. Yet your projects march on, needing specialized skills to progress. What’s an IT leader to do?
I recently spoke with the CIO of a fast-growing e-commerce company. They were launching new products and needed more developers, but after months of searching they still had over a dozen open requisitions. They turned to an IT staffing provider who rapidly placed contract developers on their team. Within weeks project velocity increased. The augmented staff provided skills needed to hit launch dates without the CIO needing to find full-time engineers in a tight market.
IT staff augmentation provides flexible access to specialized talent, so you can scale up or down as needs change. This on-demand model allows you to stay nimble.
With staff augmentation, you don’t pay for bench time. The contract talent is utilized for the duration of your need and can then be released once the project is complete. This optimized use of resources creates cost efficiencies compared to hiring full-time.
Has your tech team struggled to find talent needed to hit project goals? Try staff augmentation for quick, flexible skills access. Drop me a note if you want to learn more!
