IT Staff Augmentation With Bluebird: FAQs
IT staff augmentation is a strategy used by businesses to add skilled IT professionals to their teams on a temporary basis. This approach allows companies to address project-specific needs or skill gaps without the long-term commitment of hiring full-time employees.
While both strategies provide external resources, staff augmentation adds professionals to work within your existing team structure, whereas outsourcing involves delegating entire projects or functions to an external organization.
It's simple: first, you identify the specific tech/IT skills or roles you're missing and contact us.
Next, we set up a quick meeting for you to share details about your requirements—as much or as little as you prefer, especially if time is of the essence. We then begin the search and will get back to you within a few days, depending on how specific your needs are.
After that, we introduce you to the IT professional(s) whose skills and background best match your requirements. These professionals will work remotely as part of your company's team for the duration of the project or as needed.
We can help you with filling virtually any IT or tech role, including software developers, project managers, cybersecurity experts, data scientists, network administrators, scrum masters, and more.
We have a carefully curated and maintained talent pool at our fingertips, almost entirely consisting of highly experienced, senior developers and IT professionals.
Getting started is easy! Contact us through our website or give us a call. We will discuss your project needs and match you with the tech experts your project needs.
