Staff Augmentation
Our Approach
“Companies may easily ramp up and down to meet changing demand without shouldering the cost and liabilities of additional full time employees,” said Kristin Tucker, Managing Principal, TDK Technologies.
By understanding the total demand of qualified IT and Digital Talent in the globe we developed a HUB which for strategic and tactical reasons is based in Colombia. Innovating with Talent Outsourcing solutions is crucial for today’s modern business models where companies leverage on high quality and low cost talent in different strategic geographical places in the world to boost their operations and decrease their fixed costs.
Nevertheless, this assignment has shown to be a difficult task for most international talent outsourcing companies. This is why at Waco we have addressed this issue with stubbornness and structure, for three years now we have been innovating and developing a model which provides an integral solution for US based Digital and Tech companies that comprehends; physical and inspiring offices, constant talent development techniques, aspirational local brand, culture & community development and constant talent sourcing techniques.

When there is a need to closely manage resources, staff augmentation is ideal.
Companies can find it more effective to integrate staff augmentation resources with existing business processes than to align those processes with external project teams. After all, an individual can adapt more quickly to the processes of an organization than two separate organizations can align with each other.
By adding new skill sets to the team, a company can take advantage of both external and internal resources for the completion of their IT projects.
When project team gaps mainly consist of specialized skills, staff augmentation can efficiently fill those gaps.
Companies with staffing needs in constant flux can meet those needs through staff augmentation. It’s relatively easy to add or subtract resources to match demand.
Avoids the cost of investing in internal skill development.
Avoids costs and liabilities of direct employees.
When an active project has a need for more resources in order to be completed on time, staff augmentation is typically the best option, and is often the only option.
Existing employees often embrace a staff augmentation model more than a project outsourcing model. Existing employees are less likely to feel threatened by augmenting staff with a few individuals than by outsourcing entire projects.
It’s easier to adopt a staff augmentation model than a project outsourcing model. Companies are already used to hiring employees. Staff augmentation is just a small shift from what companies already do.
Cons
Although companies avoid the cost of training staff augmentation resources in the skills they are bringing to the table, there may still be training involved in bringing resources up to speed with the company processes, tools, and general domain knowledge.
If there are flaws in internal processes, staff augmentation resources will be affected negatively by these just as internal employees. Companies with process flaws are typically not going to enjoy the benefits of implementing industry best practices through staff augmentation.
As a company’s need for more resources grow, the cost structure doesn’t typically improve in a significant fashion, since resources are added incrementally and rates are typically negotiated on a per resources basis.
Adding resources through staff augmentation will increase management overhead due to the increased need to supervise the growing number of staff augmentation resources.
Ultimately the goal of staff augmentation is to deliver results. While using a quality staff augmentation firm will aid in the delivery of those results, the responsibility for the results stays within the company when using a staff augmentation model. Companies are purchasing resources, ideally high quality resources, but not results. Companies remain responsible for planning and managing the project, tasks, resources and deliverables.
Companies shoulder the burden of ensuring that their staff augmentation resources cannot be construed as employees.
