Dedicated Teams
Fill a specific gap without restructuring your team
Sometimes you do not need a team, you need one person with one skill for one quarter — a DevOps engineer to sort out deployment, a specialist to carry a migration, cover for parental leave. Staff augmentation is that, without a permanent hire.

The problem this solves
Specialist skills are needed in bursts but hiring is permanent. Contract markets can supply people quickly but vetting is inconsistent, and a poor contractor on a critical migration is worse than a delay.
What you get
Technically vetted specialists
Every candidate assessed by a senior engineer in their discipline before you see them, not screened on keywords.
Your management, your process
They report to your managers and work inside your workflow. We handle contracts, payroll and compliance only.
Defined engagement
Fixed term with a stated objective, extendable monthly if the work continues.
Knowledge transfer requirement
Documentation and a handover session are contractual deliverables, so capability stays with your team rather than leaving with the contractor.
Compliance handled
Right-to-work checks, NDAs, IP assignment and UK IR35 status determination dealt with before day one.
How we work
Define the gap
The specific skill, the objective and the duration.
Shortlist
Two or three vetted candidates, usually within a week.
You interview
You make the decision — we do not place people you have not met.

Mainstream, well-supported technology — chosen so you can hire for it and so another team could take the project over.
Staff Augmentation — your questions
Including the ones about cost, which most agencies leave off the page.
Typically £320 to £680 per day depending on discipline and seniority. Specialist cloud and security skills sit at the top of that range. Monthly engagements attract a lower effective rate than short bursts.
A dedicated team comes with its own technical lead and delivery structure, and takes ownership of a workstream. Staff augmentation places individuals inside your team under your management. Choose augmentation when you have management capacity and need a skill; choose a dedicated team when you need delivery capacity you do not have to run.
We handle status determination before the engagement starts and document it. Most placements are structured so the engineer remains our employee, which keeps the determination straightforward — but we assess each case properly rather than applying a blanket answer, because that is what the rules require.
A shortlist usually within a week, and a start within two to three weeks once you have chosen. Common skills can move faster; niche specialisms take longer and we will say so rather than promising a date we cannot hold.
