If your business needs to rapidly build seamless, flexible, diverse, and loyal teams to help take your business to the next level, all while offering high-quality career growth paths both for your company and IT professionals alike, then TheDevBlock’s staff augmentation model is for you!

No. TheDevBlock does not work with freelancers, we have a pool of professional IT consultants that work as independent contributors for us. This way, we ensure that the staff that you are hiring is not only dedicated full time to your project and with a verified skillset, but also their time and workplace is well organized and managed, they have a good compensation package, and finally, they have career development growth opportunities within our organization.

Nothing. Registration is free of charge! Give it a try!

When you outsource, you are outsourcing the full project or aspects of the project to an external company; while our staff augmentation model adds virtual resources to your current team to help manage the workload.

The main difference is who is responsible for project management and who is held accountable for results. In IT project outsourcing, the outsourcing company will manage the project and be accountable for the results. In contrast, staff augmentation requires in-house project management and accountability.

Which is better for you depends on your current team’s capacity and your goals. In general, for companies that have a strong internal IT team and who have reliable, dependable management, staff augmentation is the best option.
