Staff Augmentation in the IT world is an outsourcing strategy of hiring additional staff from Agicent on time sensitive basis to cater to the short-term or long-term Technical and development needs. In simple words, when a company hires external talent from us to work continuously on their projects and fill the tech gaps then it is a Staff Augmentation Service that they’re availing.
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.
