Outstaffing
Outstaffing is a type of remote hiring when a dedicated team of IT professionals, for example, software developers, testers, or any other human resource is provided by a third-party contractor. These remote specialists work decently on the projects of the recruiting client for the period of their contract.
The client has full control over his/her newly made IT team or a specialist hired for his/her project. He/she may have discussions, updates, phone calls, and any other contacts with the development team resources to accomplish the project successfully.
This way an effective IT staffing model also implies an in-house team extension with hired experts on a short or long-term project basis, which means that it is possible to cover a team’s skill gap by contracting dedicated specialists. They will match specific project needs and eliminate the chaos & liabilities of contracting in-house employees.
There are reputed outstaffing companies available globally, whose main purpose is to provide the ultimate services of retaining, staffing, and overseeing some significant full-time talents for your company. Specialized talent sourcing agencies or how we call it – talent mapping companies are just the place to find them.
Dedicated teams are a good back up at every stage of your product development. When a product dwells on from POC to MVP & Prototype and needs extra support & a development team to optimize expenses, team extension is the best possible way to enhance your product growth.
