Nearshore Staff Augmentation Overview
Nearshore staff augmentation is the process of outsourcing IT talent, such as DevOps engineers, software developers, and product managers, from countries in the same geographic location as the parent company.
Hiring IT talent from outside your business allows you to fill temporary roles, complete specific tasks, and provide additional expertise and resources at a lower cost. The short-term hires are often paid by the hour and recruited through third-party staffing agencies or online talent platforms.
This gives businesses access to highly skilled IT professionals who may not be available within the existing team. Staffing augmentation services also allow businesses to scale their staff up or down as required without resorting to temporary hiring.
Staff Augmentation Models
Staff augmentation models refer to staffing or contracting essential personnel by the outsourcing company from the service provider. The lack of sufficient staff or skills in-house is the driver for such a model. Most businesses don't have the team with the skill set or expertise to guarantee successful project completion.
Staff augmentation models employers may consider to bolster their productivity and efficiency include:
Location-Based Staff Augmentation Models
Nearshore Staff Augmentation Model
Nearshore staff augmentation service allows businesses to outsource IT talent, such as machine learning engineers and software development teams, to their existing workforce. The outsourced workforce should come from within the same geographical region or neighboring country to provide added resources that supplement the parent company.

Offshore Staff Augmentation Model
Offshore staff augmentation outsources temporary tech talent from a distant country or professional workers overseas. These augmented resources work remotely under the direct supervision of the parent company's management team. The outsourced tech talent strives to deliver the client company's goal-oriented objectives within the set timelines.
|
Onshore Staff Augmentation Model
This staff augmentation model refers to outsourcing temporary staff from nearby regions or countries with similar cultural practices, time zones, and languages.
|
Engagement-Based Staff Augmentation Models
Project-Based Staff Augmentation
This augmentation model describes hiring a contractor to work on a specific project. It provides many benefits to businesses that require a specialized skill set for a short time. Project-based staff augmentation is more cost-effective than full-time employee augmentation because the parent company is only committed to paying the contractor upon completion of the project or set of tasks.
|
Dedicated Team Augmentation
Here, businesses hire a dedicated team who work exclusively on their assigned tasks. The company manages the outsourced team and fully controls the project's direction and outcomes.
|
Hybrid Model
This model utilizes the skills and expertise of on-demand employees, remote development teams, contractors, and managed services for clients to acquire the expertise they need to complete specific projects. Businesses use this complex strategy that requires specialized customization functions for their processes.

What Are the Features of These Staff Augmentation Models?
Choosing the right staff augmentation models and resources is imperative to a project's success when outsourcing talent. Critical areas to consider when selecting the right business augmentation model include:
- Calculating costs: Businesses should assess the expenses required to train their in-house development teams to utilize augmented staff. Client companies check how specific staff augmentation levels fare against the costs of outsourcing projects or hiring teams. If management and communication processes aren't effective, staff augmentation may not provide the money-saving promise.
- Data sensitivity: Clients should consider the sensitivity of the data they disclose. Signing a staff augmentation contract with a reputable service is always good practice.
- Project duration: Businesses should consider the approximate timeline of their projects. Staff augmentation is ideal for business projects requiring less than six months to complete. Other models are available for businesses to choose if a project requires more completion time.
We advise our clients to demand a staff augmentation contract containing a nondisclosure agreement clause. The NDA should include the project's total duration and calculate the necessary expenses to select the best augmenting model for the project's preferences.
