3 Reasons Engineering Teams Choose Augmentation Over Hiring

The traditional recruitment process is slow, costly and uncertain. Staff augmentation firms in the UK are the right choice when time is of the essence and when you need to add engineering without the lengthy recruitment process. Here are three reasons why in-house teams are making the switch.

Hiring Is Stalling Your Pipeline

Sprints are slipping, delivery are delayed and engineering positions are languishing at the bottom of your pipeline. Each week you're without the proper engineer equals another week you're behind the roadmap.

Global Talent. Zero Search Time.

Avoid months of searching for, and interviewing, candidates. Hire pre-vetted engineers from our worldwide network, with the right technical expertise and communication skills, for the first week of your project.

Full-Time Cost. Part-Time Need

Only pay for engineering capacity when you need it - no recruitment fees, no long-term employment overheads, no benefits cost that can cut into the budget.

How IT Staff Augmentation Services Work

Whether you need one or all the engineers, you’re adding to your existing team, but you don’t have to do any of the usual hiring activities such as interviewing, screening, or onboarding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the IT staff augmentation process work?

Our discovery call takes about 48–72 hours after which we shortlist matched engineers. After approving a profile, it usually takes 5-10 days to onboard and integrate into your sprint, and their account manager will be there to help throughout the process.

What's the difference between staff augmentation and managed services?

With staff augmentation, you get to work with vetted engineers who become a part of your team and processes, reporting to your processes. Managed services, on the other hand, cede complete project control to an outside party. Staff augmentation gives you the technical direction and day-to-day management.

How quickly can I scale my IT team with staff augmentation?

After confirming on the profile, most clients choose to onboard their 1st engineer within 5-10 days. Our network is pre-vetted, so it's usually possible to grow from one engineer to a whole delivery pod in weeks, not months.

How much do staff augmentation services cost?

The cost of engaging staff augmentation will depend on the role, seniority and engagement model, but it can be up to 50% cheaper than hiring in the UK (salary, benefits and recruitment costs included). Once we have a clear picture of your project we will give you a clear quote.

What are the benefits of staff augmentation vs outsourcing?

Outsourcing projects puts ownership of the engineering/technical decisions, priorities and day-to-day discussions outside your team, whereas staff augmentation keeps them within your team. This is a better match with situations that require a quick ramp up, a high level of cooperation, without sacrificing quality control.

Is Gorilla360 IR35-compliant?

Yes. All UK engagements are fully IR35-compliant. We advise on the right engagement structure, provide all documentation, and protect your business from liability.

What if the engineer isn't the right fit?

We offer a replacement guarantee. If the placement isn't working within the first few weeks, we source and onboard a replacement at no extra cost. Your account manager monitors performance throughout, so issues get flagged early.
