IT staff augmentation services: add our developers to your team
PromotEdge International offers IT staff augmentation services to businesses in the USA, Canada and other markets. We add developers, designers and QA testers from our own team to yours, by the hour, part-time or full-time. They work in your tools, under your lead. Our delivery team is in India.
Extra hands on your team without a hiring round.
In short
Staff augmentation fills a gap in your team without a hire: a skill you lack, extra capacity for a deadline, or cover while you recruit. Our people stay on our payroll, and you direct the work.
Roles we can add to your team
One person or a small group, for as long as you need them. Every role on our hire developers page can join your team.

How we work
How staff augmentation works
- 01
Describe the gap
The skills, the hours, the overlap with your day and who the person reports to.
- 02
Meet the people
We put forward people from our team who have passed our four checks, and you interview and approve each one before they start.
- 03
Agree the terms
Hourly in blocks of 40 hours, part-time at 80 hours a month or full-time at about 160, month to month and in writing. The first week is a paid trial on a real task.
- 04
Onboard into your tools
Accounts, a briefing from your lead and a first task.
- 05
Review each month
We check the work and the fit with you, and change the team size if you need to.
What stays under your control
Your accounts
Access through accounts you create and can switch off at any time.
Your code
In the USA, a copyright transfer needs a signed writing, so the contract assigns the code and every deliverable to you once paid for. We keep no rights in it.
Cover for leave
If someone is away, a colleague who knows the work steps in.
An NDA for every engagement
Your code and plans stay confidential, on your NDA template or ours.
Checked before you meet them
Every developer passes four checks before you meet them: a technical test, a code review, a spoken interview in English and a reference check.
A replacement if it is not working
If a developer is not the right fit, we replace them within 10 business days at no extra cost.
Staff augmentation, a dedicated team or outsourcing
Choose by who runs the work and how long you need it.
| Question | Staff augmentation | Dedicated team | Outsourced project |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fits when | You have a team and need more people or a missing skill | You need a whole team working only on your product | You want a result built to a fixed scope |
| Who runs the work | Your lead | Your lead, with our team lead | Our team |
| How long | Weeks to years | Months to years | Until the scope is done |
| What you pay for | Hours or months of each person | The team each month | The scope |
What IT staff augmentation services are
Staff augmentation means adding people from an outside company to your own team for a set time. Unlike a staffing agency, we do not place candidates on your payroll: the people are ours, we handle recruiting, pay, equipment and leave, and you direct their work.
It suits software development staff augmentation for product teams, team augmentation for agencies with a busy quarter, and cover while you hire. For a team that works only on your product, see dedicated development teams, and for occasional tasks, hourly developers.
Cost
What staff augmentation costs
There is no public price list, because the cost follows the job.
What affects the cost
- The roles and seniority
- Hourly, part-time or full-time
- How many people
- The overlap hours with your team
How we price
You see the rate and the terms in writing before anything starts. Every engagement is covered by an NDA, and the contract assigns the code and every deliverable to you once paid for; we keep no rights in it.
Questions buyers ask us
Adding developers, designers or QA testers from an outside company to your team for a set time. They work under your direction, and the outside company handles hiring, pay and leave.
A staffing agency finds candidates for you to hire or contract. With us, the people are our own team members, and they stay with us while they work for you.
Staff augmentation adds people to your existing team. A dedicated team is a group working only on your product, often with a lead from our side.
Yes. Add people when you need them. To end a role, give 30 days' notice, and the person hands over their work before they leave.
React, Node.js, Python, PHP, .NET and Java developers, full stack and front end developers, Flutter, React Native, iOS and Android developers, WordPress and Shopify developers, UI/UX designers, QA testers, DevOps developers, AI developers and data analysts. Each role has its own page, linked from our hire developers page.
Our team works from India and is online at least 4 hours a day inside US Eastern time, with the rest of the overlap agreed to suit your working day. We travel to our clients every 3 to 4 months, and we are available round the clock, 24x7, as per your location.
Tell us, and we replace them within 10 business days at no extra cost.
Hourly work is bought in blocks of 40 hours; part-time is 80 hours a month and full-time about 160 hours a month, all month to month with no long lock-in. Every engagement is covered by an NDA, and the contract assigns the code and every deliverable to you once paid for; we keep no rights in it. You interview and approve every person before they start, and the first week is a paid trial on a real task. The people you hire are online at least 4 hours a day inside US Eastern time. If someone is not the right fit, we replace them within 10 business days at no extra cost. Every developer passes four checks: a technical test, a code review, a spoken interview in English and a reference check (for designers, a practical design test and a review of past work take the place of the first two). You get an estimate before work starts, hours go into a shared weekly timesheet that you approve before we bill, and the block you buy is your monthly cap unless you add hours in writing. Staff augmentation ends on 30 days' notice, with a handover.

What is staff augmentation? Models, costs and how to start
Staff augmentation is the plainest way to add capacity to a software or IT team without hiring employees or giving a project away: you bring in people from a provider, they work under your lead in your tools, and you pay for their time. This guide explains the models, how the costs compare with hiring and with outsourcing, the contract points that decide whether it works, and how to start. It is the main guide in our IT staffing series and sits beside our staff augmentation service page.
