The Hiring Problem
Hiring in-house is slow, expensive, and risky.
Growing companies need engineering capacity yesterday but recruiting, onboarding, and retaining senior talent in US markets drains budget and momentum before a single feature ships.
The Hiring Problem Why In-House Teams Stall Growth
40–60% Higher Cost
Fully loaded senior engineer cost in US markets runs $180K–$250K+ annually per head before benefits, equipment, and management overhead.
3–6 Month Hiring Cycles
Posting, screening, interviewing, and negotiating stretches timelines while product roadmaps slip and competitors ship.
Retention Risk
Engineers leave. Knowledge walks out the door. Re-hiring resets onboarding costs and disrupts team velocity for months.
Unpredictable Scaling
Adding one engineer at a time fragments team dynamics. No shared context, no internal rhythm just individuals plugged into your Slack.
How It Works
A complete engineering unit embedded in your workflow.
Unlike staff augmentation that drops individuals into your org, dedicated teams operate as a self-contained unit with their own internal dynamics integrated into your tools, rituals, and roadmap.
How Dedicated Teams Work
Daily Integration With Your Team
Standups, sprint planning, and direct Slack communication. Your dedicated team operates as an extension of your organization not a separate vendor silo.
- 4–6 hours daily time zone overlap with US
- Your tools: Slack, Teams, Jira, GitHub
- Built-in project management
- Quarterly business reviews

Engagement Process Onboarding and Integration
How is a dedicated team different from staff augmentation?
Staff augmentation places individual engineers into your team (typically 1-2 people). Dedicated teams operate as a complete unit (typically 3-10 people) that work together with their own internal dynamics. Dedicated teams maintain continuity better, scale more predictably, and integrate as a coherent organization.
What does a typical dedicated team look like?
Standard team: 1 senior engineer, 1-2 mid-level engineers, 1 junior engineer, with project management built in. Larger teams scale with additional senior leadership. Custom team compositions available based on technical needs (frontend-heavy, backend-heavy, AI-specialized, etc.).
How much does a dedicated team cost?
Per-team monthly: $15,000-$25,000+ for standard 3-5 person teams. Larger teams scale linearly. Setup fee for team formation: $5,000. Minimum engagement: 6 months. This is roughly 40-50% of equivalent in-house team cost in US markets at comparable seniority.
How quickly can a team be ready?
Standard team formation: 2-4 weeks from contract signing. Profile matching: 1 week. Trial period: 2 weeks at 50% rate. Full engagement begins after trial confirms fit. We commit to continuitythe team you hire is the team you keep, with replacement guarantee for any departures.
What if a team member doesn't work out?
Replacement guarantee within first 30 days at no additional cost. After 30 days, we work with you to identify performance issues and either coach the engineer to expectations or replace them. Team continuity is core to our value propositionwe invest heavily to maintain low turnover.
How do dedicated teams integrate with our internal team?
Daily standups and sprint planning with your team. Direct communication via your tools (Slack, Teams, etc.). Time zone overlap: 4-6 hours daily with most US clients. Project management built in. Quarterly business reviews. The team operates as an extension of your organization, not as a separate vendor.
Can I scale the team up or down?
Yes, with notice. Adding team members: 2-3 weeks lead time for proper selection and onboarding. Reducing team size: 30 days notice to ensure smooth transition. We discourage frequent fluctuation as it disrupts team dynamics and code quality, but reasonable scaling is fully supported.
