Common questions about staff augmentation

Common questions

What is staff augmentation?+

Staff augmentation at Essen Software is adding pre-vetted developers to your team—curated shortlist within 24 hours, one-stage interview, integration into your tools and first ticket within 48-72 hours, with elastic scaling on 30-day notice.

How fast can Essen staff augmentation start?+

CVs within 24 hours; developer integrated into your environment within 48-72 hours post-interview. We provide a shortlist, you run one-stage interviews, and the developer joins your tools and first ticket immediately.

What if the augmented developer isn't a good fit?+

We offer a 1-week evaluation period; if the expert doesn't meet expectations, we replace them at no charge for the first week. We provide high-spec hardware and coordinate with your IT for MDM if needed.

How much does staff augmentation cost?+

Senior augmented engineers run $3.5k–$7k/month depending on stack and seniority — 8–20 years of experience, working your hours, inside your tools and processes. No recruitment fees, start within days.

Staff augmentation vs a dedicated team — which fits us?+

Augmentation adds engineers into your existing team and management; a dedicated team is a self-managed pod that owns outcomes. If you have strong tech leadership, augment; if you want us to own delivery, choose a dedicated team.
