Answers to common questions about our IT staff augmentation services.
Staff augmentation means adding vetted external engineers to your existing team. They work inside your processes, join your standups, and report to your managers, while CLOUD VAULT remains their legal employer and handles payroll, taxes, and HR. You keep full control of the project and delivery; we supply and retain the talent.
With staff augmentation, you manage individual engineers who plug into your team. With a dedicated team, we assemble and help manage a full unit (developers plus QA, DevOps, and a PM) that owns a workstream long term. With project outsourcing, we take responsibility for the whole deliverable. Augmentation gives you the most day-to-day control.
We typically present the first vetted candidates within about a week. Once you approve a developer, onboarding usually takes a few more days, so most clients have someone contributing within roughly two weeks.
There is no upfront fee to start. You pay a simple monthly rate per engineer that covers their salary, indirect costs, and our fee, and you can scale the number of engineers up or down as your needs change.
CLOUD VAULT does. We act as the legal employer of record, handling contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and local compliance. That keeps you clear of misclassification and co-employment risk while the engineers work as part of your team.
Every hire comes with a three-month trial period. If someone is not working out, you can request a replacement on one day’s notice and we source an alternative from our network at no extra placement fee.
