Staff Augmentation

IT staff augmentation is a hiring model in which a company adds external IT professionals to its team for a set period. The augmented developers, engineers or specialists work within the client's processes and report to the client's managers. MechPlan's staff augmentation gives businesses access to vetted professionals in software development, cloud, cybersecurity and more, without the time and cost of permanent hiring.

With staff augmentation a company manages the added professionals directly, whereas with project outsourcing the vendor manages delivery of a defined outcome. Staff augmentation suits companies that have in-house leadership and need extra skills or capacity. Outsourcing suits companies that want to hand over an entire project. In MechPlan's staff augmentation model, experts work as an extension of the client's team and follow its workflows.

IT staff augmentation cost in Dubai depends on the roles needed, their seniority, the number of professionals and the length of the engagement. A senior cloud or cybersecurity specialist costs more than a mid-level developer, and engagement length affects pricing. Clients pay only for the talent and time they need, with no long-term hiring commitment. MechPlan provides a quote after a free 30-minute consultation that defines roles and duration.

Augmented developers can usually join much faster than through permanent recruitment, because candidates are already vetted.
