Staff Augmentation Services
Get a quick access to a pool of experts in app development and scale your internal team.
Staff augmentation in software development
Do you need an expert with specific skills for your software development project? Hiring a new person takes too much time or doesn’t pay off in the long run? Staff augmentation may be an answer to your needs.
This solution allows you to outsource experienced specialists who will enforce your internal team.
Benefits of staff augmentation
Easy access to a talent pool
Finding a new expert to power up your team takes less time. All specialists at Holdapp have several years of experience in app development. We will send you CVs of suitable people and set up an interview with them.
Faster time to market
When you don’t spend much time looking for the right team members, you can start developing or improving the project faster and launch it earlier. As a result, you can start making business profits sooner.
More flexibility
You can easily scale your team with external specialists without hiring new employees full-time. It enables you to quickly adjust the team composition according to your needs.
Budget-friendly option
Our specialist works with you for as long as you need. Unlike with the internal team, after the app is launched and there are fewer tasks, you don’t need to pay full-time for the expert’s work.
Exchanging experience
Every IT expert has different experiences working on various projects. Staff augmentation is an opportunity for everyone on the team to learn new skills and ways of operating.
Complete control over the project
You directly monitor the entire team’s work, including the external staff members. It gives you more control over the project, and you can quickly react to changes.
Types of cooperation
As part of our services, we offer internal team augmentation when one or a few Holdapp specialists join your employees’ team and work together on the project.
If you have to build the entire team from scratch, consider project outsourcing. In this case, you can work with the Holdapp’s app development team, including software developers and UX designers, QA testers, and a project manager.
It’s up to you to decide how long the cooperation should last.
- It’s possible to choose a software developer or a QA tester to join your team for a short time or until a small task is completed.
- There’s an option to sign a contract for expert support for a long time, such as 6-12 months.

Staff augmentation services at Holdapp
When is staff augmentation a good idea?
It’s best to consider staff augmentation in IT projects when you don’t need to hire a specialist full-time. It saves you money when you know that there aren’t enough tasks for such a person to work full hours, especially after the product launch.
Staff augmentation is also a good option when you don’t want to spend much time looking for the right specialist. All you have to do is contact a software development company with many projects in their portfolio and hire one of their experienced specialists.
This solution works out well also when your team members have more tasks than they can handle and need help immediately.
Alternatively, you can outsource the entire project to the app development company. This option is recommended when you want to start the project and have no in-house team experienced in creating apps. The hiring process is time-consuming and delays the launch date, so it’s best to outsource such services.
How can Holdapp help your in-house team?
You can decide to augment your in-house team at every phase of the app development project. Depending on your needs, our specialists can perform different tasks.
A UX researcher and workshop facilitator can help you at the beginning, during data collection and ideation. The UX designer will prepare your app’s UI project, including wireframes, branding guidelines, and even a prototype. Software developers will write code, and QA testers will detect bugs and ensure the product is of the best quality. The entire project may be supervised by a project manager who monitors the progress, helps you plan the following steps, and ensures everything develops in the right direction.
How do we work?
Our specialists work according to the agile approach and know very well how to complete tasks effectively in an iterative process. Depending on your location, they can work entirely remotely or occasionally go to your office if needed. On top of that, they’re flexible and quickly adapt to new project management styles.
At Holdapp, we have experience cooperating with teams from different time zones. We always adjust meeting times so every participant can be satisfied.
Our experience in app development
We have launched projects for many industries, including mCommerce, sports betting, education, etc. Since 2012, we have supported companies operating in international markets, such as the US, Brazil, Italy, the UK, and Poland.
Industry experts recognize our projects. We received Mobile Trends Awards twice (Answear, Sprzedajemy.pl) and the Legal Bookmaker’s Award (forBET).
