Staff augmentation is a model where external specialists are hired to reinforce a company’s existing workforce, usually on a temporary basis. This approach allows businesses to add specific skill sets to their teams as needed, without the long-term commitments of traditional hiring.

On the other hand, outsourced services involve entrusting entire projects or business functions to staff augmentation companies. This can include anything from IT support to customer service operations. Unlike staff augmentation, where the external staff works as part of your existing team, outsourced services are managed and executed independently by the team augmentation service provider.

There are several types of team augmentation services, each catering to different business needs:

• Nearshore staff augmentation is the type of outsourcing IT talent from neighbouring countries or the same region as the parent company.
• Offshore staff augmentation is great for hiring temporary technical talent globally. This remote team is managed on the client’s side and focuses on specific objectives.
• Extending a team with staff from the same country or a nearby region is called onshore staff augmentation.
