FAQ
What types of roles can be filled using staff augmentation?
FlexMade provides a wide range of roles, including software developers, DevOps engineers, UI/UX designers, project managers, and QA testers. We specialize in matching the right talent to your project requirements, whether it's for frontend, backend, mobile development, or cloud architecture.
Can I hire a single developer or an entire team?
Both options are available. Depending on your project needs, you can augment your team with one developer or hire an entire dedicated team. We also offer flexibility in scaling up or down depending on project requirements.
What are the benefits of using staff augmentation instead of outsourcing the entire project?
Staff augmentation gives you more control over the development process and allows for seamless integration with your existing team. It's ideal for businesses that want to maintain oversight of their projects while gaining access to specialized skills. Unlike traditional outsourcing, you retain control over project management, ensuring alignment with your goals.
How fast can I onboard a developer through FlexMade's staff augmentation service?
We have a pool of pre-vetted developers, allowing us to respond quickly to your staffing needs. The onboarding process typically takes a few days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of your requirements.
What is the pricing structure for staff augmentation services?
We offer both hourly and monthly rates, depending on the project length and complexity. For long-term engagements (12+ months), a fixed monthly rate offers cost predictability. Shorter projects typically operate on an hourly basis, allowing for more flexibility.
How do you ensure seamless collaboration between my in-house team and augmented staff?
Our developers are experienced in working with distributed teams and use modern collaboration tools like Slack, Jira, and GitHub. Additionally, we assist with onboarding, ensuring smooth communication and alignment with your team's processes and workflows.
Do I need to manage the augmented staff directly?
You have full control over the management of augmented staff, but FlexMade offers project managers for clients who prefer not to handle daily operations. This allows you to focus on core business activities while ensuring your project runs smoothly.
What happens if I am not satisfied with the performance of an augmented staff member?
FlexMade offers a 2-week trial period during which you can assess if the developer is a good fit. If you're not satisfied, we'll provide a replacement or remove the developer from the team. Post-trial, we maintain a 30-day notice period for replacing developers.
How does FlexMade handle intellectual property and confidentiality?
We take intellectual property (IP) and confidentiality very seriously. All contracts include clauses to protect your IP, and our staff members sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to ensure the privacy and security of your data.
What level of engagement do you recommend for startups versus enterprises?
For startups, a small, agile team with diverse skills can quickly get a product to market, while enterprises may need a larger, more specialized team. FlexMade consults with each client to recommend the optimal team composition based on their current needs, budget, and long-term goals.
Can I integrate FlexMade's developers into my 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 standups, sprint planning sessions, and using your preferred project management tools.
What time zones do your developers work in?
We have developers across multiple regions, including Eastern Europe, Northern America, and Western Asia. This allows us to offer nearshore and offshore options. We strive to match your preferred working hours to ensure there is an overlap for effective collaboration.
How do you handle time tracking and reporting for remote staff?
We use time-tracking tools and provide detailed reports of worked hours, tasks completed, and project milestones. Our account managers monitor the team's performance, keeping you updated on project progress and ensuring transparency.
How does staff augmentation differ from project outsourcing?
Staff augmentation involves adding developers to your existing team, giving you control over the management and direction of the project. In contrast, project outsourcing transfers the responsibility of the entire project to the service provider, who manages the development process from start to finish.
What happens if a developer needs time off or is unavailable during the project?
FlexMade tracks developers' vacation plans and coordinates with the client to ensure that time off is planned without affecting project deadlines. In cases of unplanned absences, we work with you to find temporary coverage or adjust the project timeline accordingly.
Do you offer training or development opportunities for the augmented staff?
Yes, we offer training and development opportunities to our team members. Our developers continuously update their skills through courses, certifications, and training in new technologies, ensuring they remain experts in their fields and bring the latest knowledge to your projects.
