Staff augmentation FAQs

Answers to the questions CTOs and founders ask before adding engineers.

What is IT staff augmentation?

Staff augmentation means adding external engineers to your existing team for as long as you need them. They work on your product, inside your processes and tools, under your technical direction — while Forelskets remains their employer and handles hiring, payroll, HR and equipment.

How is this different from outsourcing a project?

With project outsourcing, the agency owns delivery of a fixed scope. With staff augmentation, you keep control of the roadmap and priorities, and the engineers work as part of your team. Many clients start with one model and switch to the other as their needs change.

Can I interview the developers before they start?

Yes. We share profiles matched to your stack and seniority, and you interview them — technical rounds included. Only the engineers you approve join your team.

Which time zones can your engineers cover?

Our engineers are based in India and plan overlapping working hours with US Eastern, US Pacific, Canadian and Australian time zones, so you have a shared window for stand-ups, reviews and pairing every day.

What if a developer is not the right fit?

Tell us and we will replace them. We handle the handover so knowledge is not lost.

What are the contract terms?

Engagements are monthly. You can scale the team up or down with notice as set out in the contract. There are no long-term lock-ins, and all code and IP created for you belongs to you.

How do you protect our code and data?

Every engineer signs an NDA and IP assignment. Access is granted through your own accounts with least-privilege permissions, and can be revoked by you at any time.
