Scalable Staffing Models Regardless of Size
Understanding the diverse needs of our clients, Koombea employs flexible staffing models to cater to both small and large-scale project demands. Whether augmenting existing teams with a handful of specialists or deploying a complete squad to tackle extensive software development challenges, our models are designed to offer efficiency, scalability, and alignment with your specific project needs.
Small Staffing Model
We use our small staffing model for companies seeking to hire one or two new employees. We can apply our small staffing model to projects looking for up to five or six skilled employees, but if it stretches further than this, the model will start to break down and cause inefficiencies. Koombea’s small staffing model is the traditional outsourcing company model. It looks like this:
Koombea provides your company with a few resumes to review
Your company interviews the candidates you like the most
If you like one or more of these candidates, a contract is created
The candidate takes the job and begins working on your project
Our small staffing model is the same model that staffing services will use for all requests, large or small. We know this model is tried and true, but issues arise when you want to hire a large extended team.
It is important to understand that staffing companies do not have skilled tech talent waiting for work to pop up. These jobs are too valuable, and these professionals are too skilled to sit idly by. The small staffing model breaks down when you need to hire a large team because recruiters find it tough to find the necessary talent to fill the request.
Remember, recruiters need to spend money to find talent. When a large staffing request is made, there is almost no incentive for a staffing service to pay the financial resources necessary to try to fill it. Therefore, the staffing model they use is inefficient. However, instead of turning away business, these companies will subcontract the work and hope for the best.
Ultimately, this practice leads to long waits for talent and an influx of low-quality candidates. At Koombea, we have a better, more scalable, and practical approach to large team staffing.
Large Staffing Model
At Koombea, we understand that the traditional staffing model is ineffective for large team requests. We have seen it time and time again. As a result, we have developed a scalable large staffing model to help fill staffing requests and build large, dedicated teams. Here is what our staffing model looks like for large staffing requests:
Meet Koombea, get to know our executives, engineers, and project managers
Review our development processes and augmentation playbook, get client references, and do your due diligence
Agree to a staffing contract with Koombea upfront for a team commitment
Review resumes and conduct interviews with provided development talent
Choose the people you like the most; they are committed to your company from day one and report to your team directly
Trust is the primary difference between the traditional staffing model and our large staffing model. Instead of selling you candidates, we are selling you Koombea. Typically, companies don’t spend money on staffing until they choose a candidate and create a contract. This works well when you only need a few people. However, when you want to build a sizeable remote team to supplement your in-house development team, agreeing to a contract upfront is far more effective and efficient.
We believe in the quality of our staffing services and development processes. At Koombea, we will illustrate how we operate and introduce you to our business leaders so that you feel fully confident partnering with us for your staffing needs.
We know that you want to control the talent you hire to augment your team. In our large staffing model, you still control every candidate you bring on. Plus, by agreeing to a contract upfront, every candidate you like will immediately be committed to your company.
At Koombea, we understand that upfront contracts are rare in the staff augmentation industry. However, we do this to guarantee the quality of every candidate we present to your business. We don’t work with hiring subcontractors because we can’t guarantee the quality of their candidates. So, instead of focusing on every position you need to fill, find a recruitment partner like Koombea who can send you quality resumes and the top development talent to fill your company’s open positions.
Transforming Staff Augmentation
Koombea redefines staff augmentation, emphasizing the value of individual contributors within the broader context of team and project success. Our approach addresses the challenges of the traditional outsourcing model, providing a more efficient, effective, and collaborative way to enhance your development capabilities.
We invite you to experience the difference with Koombea’s staff augmentation services. Whether you're looking to close skill gaps temporarily, require extra resources for a critical project, or need specialized talent to enhance your software development teams, we support your journey toward innovation and success.
IT Staff Augmentation Warning Signs to Be Aware Of
If you’re reading about our IT staff augmentation services, chances are you are shopping around before you make a decision. Unfortunately, there are a lot of recruiters who utilize tactics that are less than reputable to secure business. At Koombea, we pride ourselves on offering quality staffing solutions transparently and collaboratively.
However, not all companies operate in the same way. Therefore, if you’re looking for IT staff augmentation and come across any warning signs, you should strongly reconsider the staffing company you are working with.
Yes Is the Only Answer
It is great when your needs can be met in minimal time, but unfortunately, things don’t always work out this way. If the staff augmentation provider you are speaking with answers all of your questions with yes, you should be concerned about the quality of the candidate they will provide you.
For example, suppose you ask for five Ruby on Rails developers who can start next month. If your staffing service partner says yes, they can deliver this, you should be skeptical. Yes, this company may know five Ruby on Rails developers that just became available, but no staffing service has talent sitting on the bench waiting for your call. Remember, talent does not sit on the sidelines.
In all likelihood, when you ask for five Ruby on Rails developers to start next month, the staffing company furiously starts contacting subcontractors to fill the role. Ultimately, this will lead to poor results. In almost every instance, you will need to recruit to fill a role, but this is why you choose a skilled staff augmentation partner like Koombea. We will handle the heavy lifting associated with recruiting and send you resumes for review.
Bait and Switch
The bait-and-switch staffing tactic is far too common in this industry. If you are unfamiliar with how this works, a staffing company will send you the resume of a highly skilled individual. Your company will review the resume, fall in love with the candidate, and you might even get to interview this person. However, when it comes time to ink a contract and hire, this person will have just been hired for another job.
In place of the candidate you liked, the unscrupulous staffer will send you another candidate with a similar skill set but less experience, fewer qualifications, etc. The replacement person might be skilled in their own right and might be an excellent fit for your project and team. However, the replacement candidate will never be as good as the candidate that initially got your attention.
Why would a staff augmentation company do this? Companies do this to get your attention and gain your trust. In all likelihood, the candidate with the resume that impressed you was probably never available. Yet, since you saw one quality candidate from this company, you think they will be able to deliver similar results even if the candidates they send to you never live up to this reality.
Lack of Understanding
If your company is augmenting its staff with technical talent, the recruitment partner presenting the candidates to your company should understand your needs better than you do. After all, if you had a firm understanding of the technical details, you wouldn’t need a partner to help you augment your staff with the right talent.
If your staffing partner doesn’t understand your needs or your project, they will never be able to deliver a candidate that meets them. We know how difficult it can be to interview and vet developers. How can you test their proficiency and development skills when you lack the skills you are hiring for?
Ensure that the IT staff augmentation services your company employs fully understand the needs of your project. If you feel like your staffing partner doesn’t understand your needs, they likely don’t.
