雇佣新员工的成本 软件开发 天赋有时令人生畏. It can take a few weeks to hire a developer and even longer to get them working at full capacity. The time it takes also costs the company money.

As with any other professional service, not all providers are great matches for every customer. If you want to augment your IT staff, screen potential vendors using these criteria:

• Criteria 1 – Do they have experience in your industry?
• Criteria 2 – What technology expertise do they have, and does it match your own 太ls and technologies?
• Criteria 3 – How extensive is their geographic reach?
• Criteria 4 – What are their security procedures like?

有些公司的本地员工人数不多，但很有能力. 其他 development firms that do staffing augmentation have a large pool of coders with experience in a range of programming languages and development methodologies.
