How Our QA Engineers Have Been Expanding a customers' Team for 13 Years
A lead generation platform for the real estate industry, needed staff augmentation to assist with custom software development and database optimization. We met their criteria of superior software development expertise, value for money, cultural compatibility, and shared values.
To meet the project goals, Rapid Accord augmented the customers’ team by sourcing fifteen specialists, including software developers, quality assurance engineers, technical design specialists, UI/UX designers, and machine learning/artificial intelligence experts.
Together we:
- Developed an application for processing real estate data based on filters and geo shapes using two large databases.
- Incorporated a machine learning and artificial intelligence extension to forecast sales in the US real estate market.
- Transitioned from monolith architecture to a cloud-based infrastructure and set up a component-based development process.
- Optimized database queries to efficiently handle data from databases with 160 and 250 million records.
Our IT Staff Augmentation Process and Stages
After submitting the contact form, you’ll receive a swift response from a specialist experienced with your request. Next, we’ll schedule a short call to discuss your project requirements and resource needs. For your peace of mind, we’ll suggest signing an NDA.
01. Analysis of Your Needs
Following the meeting, we’ll sync up our tech, business, and recruitment teams to analyze your talent needs from multiple angles. To kick-off the hiring process, we’ll examine both our internal talent pool (over 400 in-house employees) and external market (over 10 million specialists).
0102. Pre-selection
You’ll receive our selection of qualified candidates with a strong mix of technical and soft skills and cultural compatibility with your core team. Shortlisted candidates will match your preferences: location, experience, seniority, salary range, and individual characteristics.
0203. Interviewing
We suggest a 2-stage interview process: to assess the general compatibility with your business objectives and test technology skills. If requested, we can coordinate each interview, driving the conversation and documenting the process.
0304. Onboarding
Now that you’ve selected the right candidates, we’ll help you onboard and integrate them into your team. As a customer-centric staff augmentation partner, we’ll continuously improve the team performance and align it with your project objectives and development process.
0405. Upskilling
We invest in the professional development of our tech talent. Our company offers courses for specialized skills, communication training, and English lessons. As a result, 41% of IT specialists we employ are at a senior level. Plus, 90% of delivery specialists have B2/C1 level of English.
05How Our IT Staffing Services Stand Out

Knowledge Transfer & Upskilling
Upskill your in-house staff. Along with our IT staffing services, we can transfer tech knowledge to your teams. We can explain how to implement tech innovations, set up productive workflows, and introduce industry best practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Staff augmentation is an outsourcing service model in which your vendor provides you with specialists, recruited according to your business objectives, technical needs, and individual preferences. Usually, an outsourcing vendor will handle the recruitment and administration of the new hires (office equipment, payroll support, legal processes, etc.) while you handle their management on the project.
Among the benefits of staff augmentation are more talent options, a faster pace for team augmentation, and a better control over new hires. Other advantages include cost savings (if you hire from a country with lower rates) and reduced administration burden (as recruitment and ongoing admin support are covered by outsourcing vendors).
Staff augmentation is the right service model when you need to quickly fill a skills gap while taking full control over the new specialists. We recommend that the company who wants to use staff augmentation services effectively has an experienced project manager or a CTO to ensure that your new team is fully engaged and on track to success.
To select a staff augmentation firm, assess a potential vendor against the following criteria:
1. How many resources and how much talent are available in-house?
2. What is the size of the external talent pool?
3. Is there a formalized procedure for staff augmentation?
4. Is there a history of successful previous projects?
5. Is there a set of positive reviews from customers?
6. Does the vendor have high talent retention rates?
With staff augmentation, companies have the risk of not successfully integrating, onboarding, and aligning new hires into internal teams and workflows. Outsourcing vendors, however, can help you mitigate these risks by guiding you through the onboarding process and monitoring how well the new specialists perform in a remote environment.
