Staff Augmentation

We recognize your need for just-in-time access to the best available talent. We also know that there is typically no time for training and the cost must fit your budget. Access top talent and maximize your technology staffing costs with experienced consultants from The SURVIS Group - one of the nations largest WBE firms.

Whether you are in need of a highly experienced Project Manager or a skilled Java Developer, The SURVIS Group provides the skilled applications contractors you need for all phases of the software development life cycle. Our team of dedicated professionals are not only experienced in the specific technologies, but are also experienced in individual industries to respond to the unique needs of your business.

When you choose an hourly consultant over other solutions like outsourcing, offshoring, or a solution from your internal HR team, you expect that hiring a consultant will provide multiple advantages. Your expectations should include:

  • A time savings on the front end
  • A consultant that has a proven background in the skills you currently need
  • A vendor that is knowledgeable and easy to work with
  • A cost that provides you with a fair ROI

Your expectations aren’t consistently met by your existing vendor, but you haven’t set up a benchmarking system to identify where they are falling short in meeting your ROI requirements. You say to yourself, there is less pain in working through the issues with my existing vendor than to review another vendor and their qualifications. Typical results of this situation include:

  1. Your project runs behind schedule
  2. More time than necessary is spent on handling skill set or cultural issues from your contractors
  3. Issue avoidance regarding your vendor begins takes its toll on the productivity of your team
  4. You’re in damage control mode, forced to make uncomfortable changes to your project plan

Maybe it is time to take a look at the most important qualifications of a staff augmentation vendor and build an additional relationship while you have the opportunity.

We asked our clients what makes us the best choice.

The answers they gave fit into four key areas of differentiation that are listed below.

Pricing

We conduct extensive research to monitor current market rates for IT consultants. We also subscribe to industry publications that provide the average billing rates for hundreds of skills within IT. Because you lack the time to ensure that you are getting a fair return on your investment, you may worry that you are being taken advantage of when discussing the costs associated with consultants. We know what is fair and equitable, and will not exceed that mark. The benefit to you is that you will not have to be concerned about our costs in comparison to other vendors.

Recruiting Methodology

We hire to our internal bench using the number one recruiting methodology in the human resources industry. We use the same methodology for consultants that we hire to work at your location. If you can define and share the project objective, scope, desired schedule, project organization, job description, and culture, then we WILL find candidates that are qualified to meet your specifications. The benefit for you is that there is a much higher probability that the consultant chosen by us for your project is the RIGHT one. For additional information, review the section on our recruiting methodology.

Flexibility

Our customers tell us we're flexible and easy to work with. That is because we listen and put your requirements first. We don’t push a particular technology or try and put a consultant in that helps us and not you. Our intense focus on responsiveness to your changing project demands and drive to exceed your expectations is also critical to this element of The SURVIS Group’s personality.

Our Business Development team has an average of twenty years of tremendous individual expertise in Data Management, ERP, Networking Services, and Software Development.
