02Common questions
Staff augmentation, answered.
How is this different from dedicated staffing?
Mostly intent and duration. Augmentation is capacity for a known stretch of work; dedicated staffing is a long-term seat on your team.
Is there a minimum term?
No minimum beyond the 30 days' notice period. We will tell you honestly if a role is too short for a hire to be worth it.
How quickly can we start?
Most teams see an interview-ready shortlist within 48 hours to 3–5 business days, and finalise a hire within one to two weeks. The pace mostly comes down to how quickly you can review profiles and run interviews.
What does it cost?
Dedicated talent starts from $1,499/month per hire and scales with seniority and whether the role is part-time or full-time. Direct-hire placement is a one-time fee from 15% of first-year salary. Both are quoted in writing before you commit, with no upfront cost and no setup fee.
What if the hire is not right?
Dedicated hires carry a two-week risk-free trial and a free replacement within 90 days. Direct-hire placements carry a replacement window of 60 to 180 days depending on seniority. The full terms are on our Refund Policy page.
