Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you provide developers?
2-5 business days for most roles. Specialized roles (AI/ML, blockchain) may take 5-10 days. Emergency requirements can often be filled within 24-48 hours from our available talent pool.
Are the developers your employees or contractors?
They are our full-time employees with benefits, training, and career development. This ensures commitment, accountability, and consistent quality—unlike freelance marketplaces.
What if a developer doesn’t work out?
We offer a 24-hour replacement guarantee. If any resource doesn’t meet your expectations, we replace them immediately at no additional cost and with full knowledge transfer.
Can we scale the team up or down?
Yes. Scale up with 2-week notice. Scale down with 30-day notice. This flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of staff augmentation over full-time hiring.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do. All code, designs, documentation, and intellectual property created by our augmented staff belongs entirely to your company. We sign comprehensive IP assignment agreements.
Do you work with startups or only enterprises?
Both. We work with funded startups needing to scale quickly, mid-market companies filling skill gaps, and enterprises augmenting large engineering organizations.
