Why choose team
augmentation with Plus8soft
We specialize in rapid staffing. On average, we identify qualified developers within 24 hours and have them fully onboarded and working within 3 days. This ensures minimal downtime for your project and maximum momentum from day one.
Speed – From search to start in just 3 days
We don’t treat our developers as mere gig workers. We focus on aligning incentives to ensure that each developer feels a sense of ownership and commitment upon joining your team. We carefully screen candidates for their soft skills, communication abilities, and compatibility with your company culture, as effective collaboration begins with the right people.
Cultural fit – More than freelancers, they’re part of your team
Every engagement includes a dedicated two-week onboarding period where our developers learn your domain—whether it’s fintech, trading, or healthcare. We pair them with subject matter experts internally to accelerate their ramp-up, resulting in smoother integration and increased productivity.
Easy integration – Domain onboarding built in
With talent spanning 14 time zones, we help you strike the right balance between cost and availability. Whether you need full overlap with the U.S. or partial with the EU, we’ll match you with developers who are aligned with your working hours.
Time zone coverage – Smart overlap across 14 time zones
Forget about payroll taxes, benefits, or HR compliance. You don’t need to worry about managing the team either—we assign a project manager from our side to ensure accountability, alignment, and smooth communication throughout the engagement.
Cost efficiency – No overhead, no headaches

How team augmentation process works
Case study
Online Global Broker
Situation
The Company faced two main challenges. Their hiring process was slow due to hybrid work requirements — engineers needed to be in the office three days a week, including a mandatory company-wide day on Wednesdays. This limited the talent pool and made scaling difficult. At the same time, they had short-term, high-priority projects but couldn’t reallocate internal teams due to ongoing staffing shortages.
Key tasks included integrating new liquidity sources into the core trading system, optimizing homepage performance across global regions, and taking over a complex funds management platform from a previous vendor.

Review
Plus8Soft quickly addressed both challenges. They built full teams from their own pool of engineers without relying on internal Company's staff. They took ownership of tasks even with minimal input, proactively clarifying context and filling gaps. By adding communication layers between teams and stakeholders, they kept everything aligned and on schedule. Where others had stalled, Plus8Soft delivered — reliably and on time.

Situation
The company was scaling fast — but their growth came with a challenge. They struggled to hire and retain high-performing engineers who could keep up with the rapidly evolving pace of the business. Internal hiring processes couldn't filter candidates quickly enough, and many new hires failed to meet performance standards, leading to high turnover. This constant churn made it hard to fill critical technical roles and delayed product delivery.
At the same time, they needed a way to build a stable, agile team — one that could hit the ground running, with minimal ramp-up and the flexibility to quickly adapt or scale.

Review
Plus8Soft introduced a hybrid staffing model that solved both problems. Instead of lengthy hiring cycles, we embedded our engineers directly into FP’s workflows. As an example, we were able to provide three qualified developers in just a single day — showing that roles could be closed in as little as 1–2 days. Each engineer was pre-vetted for performance and adaptability, and if someone wasn’t the right fit, we managed fast replacements with zero disruption.
This model enabled the client to staff core backend and frontend positions in weeks instead of months. Engineers worked under our payroll while proving their value in real projects, and after several months, they smoothly transitioned into full-time roles within the client’s team. One developer delivered such outstanding results that the client specifically requested to hire him directly into their permanent staff.
Staffed >5 engineers across Backend and Frontend.

Team augmentation is a staffing model that extends your existing software development team with external engineers, without requiring a full-time hire. These developers work as part of your team—using your tools, attending your meetings, and following your processes—while the augmentation partner (like Plus8soft) handles recruitment, payroll, and overhead. It gives you the flexibility of freelancers with the stability and integration of full-time employees.
