STAFF AUGMENTATION
Scale your engineering team without the hiring overhead
68% of engineering leaders say open roles stay unfilled for 3+ months, costing $50K per vacancy in lost output (SHRM, 2025). We match you with a pre-vetted developer in 48 hours at $3K-5K/month — they join your Slack, attend your standups, and ship production code from day one. Read our complete staff augmentation guide to see how the model works. Start with a paid trial week and scale month-to-month with no long-term contracts.

THE PROBLEM
Sound familiar?
01
Hiring takes too long
Senior developer roles sit open for 3-6 months. Every empty seat is a feature your competitor ships first.
02
Recruitment costs are unpredictable
Agency fees, job boards, interview rounds, onboarding — a single hire can cost $30,000+ before they write one line of code.
03
Freelancers disappear
They start strong, then juggle three clients, miss deadlines, and ghost when you need them most.
