Flexible Hiring Models for Engineering Teams: Staff Augmentation vs. Talent Hire

New hires have questions. A lot of them. Where to find things. How to access tools. What process to follow. And it’s always the same ones. Every. Single. Time. Your team spends hours each week repeating the answers. New hires wait. Projects slow down. And no one’s really to blame—traditional onboarding just doesn’t scale. According to recent research from SHRM , the impact of a structured onboarding system goes far beyond first impressions. When new hires ramp up faster and s

You've probably seen it happen. A new teammate joins the project and can't get their environment running. A bug shows up in production, and no one remembers why that edge case was handled that way. Someone needs to update a feature, but the original decision-making lives in someone's head—or in a forgotten Slack thread. This wasn't a technical failure. It was a documentation failure. The fix itself? A few hours. The rework from misaligned teams? Weeks. The opportunity cost o

When we talk about building new software, conversations almost always begin with technology: Which framework should we choose? What skills do we need on the team? What features will set us apart? While these are critical, there's an often-overlooked foundation that truly dictates a project's fate: how clearly and thoroughly you define what you're building. This often-overlooked blueprint is known as Requirements Engineering. Too often, requirements engineering is dismissed a

Scaling a remote engineering team is different. Time zones get tricky, communication gets scattered, and delivery slows down, even when everyone looks busy. The default solution is to hire more developers, but you've likely discovered that adding people to a remote setup without the right systems doesn't fix the chaos—it multiplies it. If you're struggling to improve your remote team's productivity, you're not just missing a tool; you're missing a system. That's why we're sha
