Ultimate team augmentation guide

Are you looking to expand your team but struggling to find the right talent? Or maybe you need to scale up quickly for a new project but don't have the resources to hire full-time employees? This is where team augmentation comes in.

Team augmentation is hiring external resources to supplement your existing team and help you achieve your business goals. It's a cost-effective and efficient way to scale your team without the hassle of traditional hiring processes. This means that your existing teams integrate with Velv’s own teams, but how?

First let’s understand why nearshore team augmentation (or team extension) is important.

Access to Top Talent

One of the biggest challenges businesses face is finding and hiring top talent. With team augmentation; you have access to a pool of highly skilled professionals who have been vetted and trained by the team augmentation company.

At velv, we have a rigorous screening process to ensure we only work with the best talent. This means you can rest assured that you'll have access to top-notch professionals who can help you achieve your business goals.

Cost-Effective Solution

Hiring full-time employees takes work. Maybe you don't have the planned budget for that, you don't have available people to train a new person, or you're not so sure about expanding your team, especially if it is only necessary for a short-term project. With team augmentation, you can tailor the team you need for the project. This makes it a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to scale up quickly without breaking the bank.

Flexibility and Scalability

Team augmentation offers flexibility and scalability, which is crucial for businesses that experience workload fluctuations. You can easily scale up or down, depending on your business needs, without the hassle of traditional hiring processes.

Faster Time-to-Hire

Traditional hiring processes can be time-consuming and often result in a lengthy time-to-hire. With team augmentation, you can quickly onboard resources and get them up to speed, saving you time and resources.
