Staff augmentation consists of adding external personnel to an existing in-house team to cover a company’s immediate needs. It is generally short term and is used for specific projects or to cover temporary absences of in-house employees.
An important feature is that it provides greater flexibility in the number of external collaborators needed, allowing quick adaptation to current demand.
In addition, it requires a lower investment in talent search, since it generally involves hiring the resources available through subcontractors or consultancies.
