Frequently Asked Questions
What types of roles are suitable for staff augmentation?
FlexMade offers a comprehensive array of roles, encompassing software developers, DevOps engineers, UI/UX designers, project managers, and QA testers. We specialise in aligning the appropriate talent with your project requirements, be it for front-end, back-end, mobile development, or cloud architecture.
May I engage a single developer or a complete team?
Both options are available to you. Depending on your project requirements, you can augment your team with a single developer or engage an entire dedicated team. We also offer flexibility in scaling up or down, contingent on project needs.
What are the advantages of utilising staff augmentation as opposed to outsourcing the entire project?
Staff augmentation provides greater control over the development process and facilitates seamless integration with your existing team. It is ideally suited for businesses seeking to maintain oversight of their projects whilst gaining access to specialised skills. Unlike traditional outsourcing, you retain control over project management, ensuring alignment with your objectives.
How quickly can I onboard a developer via FlexMade's staff augmentation service?
We maintain a pool of pre-vetted developers, enabling us to respond promptly to your staffing requirements. The onboarding process typically takes from a few days to several weeks, dependent on the complexity of your needs.
What is the pricing structure for staff augmentation services?
We offer both hourly and monthly rates, dependent on the project length and complexity. For longer-term engagements (12+ months), a fixed monthly rate provides cost predictability. Shorter projects typically operate on an hourly basis, allowing for greater flexibility.
How do you ensure seamless collaboration between my in-house team and augmented staff members?
Our developers are experienced in working with distributed teams and utilise modern collaboration tools such as Slack, Jira, and GitHub. Furthermore, we provide assistance with onboarding, ensuring seamless communication and alignment with your team's processes and workflows.
Am I required to directly manage the augmented workforce?
You retain complete control over the management of augmented staff; however, FlexMade offers project managers for clients who would prefer not to handle day-to-day operations. This enables you to focus on core business activities whilst ensuring your project runs seamlessly.
What recourse do I have if I am dissatisfied with the performance of an augmented staff member?
FlexMade offers a 2-week trial period, during which you can assess whether the developer is a suitable match. If you are not satisfied, we will provide a replacement or remove the developer from the team. Following the trial, we maintain a 30-day notice period for replacing developers.
What is FlexMade's approach to intellectual property and confidentiality?
We take intellectual property (IP) and confidentiality extremely seriously. All contracts include clauses to protect your IP, and our staff sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to ensure the privacy and security of your data.
What level of engagement would you recommend for start-ups as opposed to established enterprises?
For start-ups, a small, agile team with diverse skillsets can rapidly bring a product to market, whereas enterprises may require a larger, more specialised team. FlexMade consults with each client to recommend the optimal team composition based on their current needs, budget, and long-term objectives.
Is it possible to integrate FlexMade's developers into our existing agile/scrum process?
Yes, FlexMade developers are highly experienced in agile methodologies, including Scrum and Kanban. They will integrate seamlessly into your team's processes, attending daily stand-ups, sprint planning sessions, and utilising your preferred project management tools.
In which time zones are your developers located?
We have developers located across multiple regions, including Eastern Europe, North America, and Western Asia. This enables us to offer nearshore and offshore options. We endeavour to align with your preferred working hours to ensure sufficient overlap for effective collaboration.
What methods do you employ for time tracking and reporting with remote staff?
We utilise time-tracking tools and furnish comprehensive reports detailing hours worked, tasks completed, and project milestones. Our account managers monitor the team's performance, keeping you apprised of project progress and ensuring transparency.
What are the key differences between staff augmentation and project outsourcing?
Staff augmentation involves adding developers to your existing team, affording you control over the management and direction of the project. In contrast, project outsourcing transfers the responsibility for the entire project to the service provider, who manages the development process from inception to completion.
What happens should a developer require time off or become unavailable during the project?
FlexMade monitors developers' holiday schedules and liaises with the client to ensure that time off is planned without impacting project deadlines. In the event of unplanned absences, we collaborate with you to identify temporary cover or adjust the project timeline accordingly.
Do you provide training or development opportunities for augmented staff members?
Yes, we provide training and development opportunities for our team members. Our developers continuously update their skills through courses, certifications and training in new technologies, ensuring they remain experts in their respective fields and bring the latest knowledge to our projects.
