Types of Staff Augmentation

There are mainly three types of Staff Augmentation.

Skill Based

When there is a need for a skilled, specialist with a specific skill set, where those skills are not critical or essential, those kinds of hiring model is known as Skill-based Staff Augmentation.

Commodity

If there is no demand for a specific skill set, we go with this category known as Commodity augmentation. If the demand is for a reliable employee to perform the tasks or events which don’t need any specific skill we go with this model.

Highly-Skilled

When there is a need for advanced skills, and brand design, which can be acquired only by experience or training. A specific level of skill is needed for this. When such a situation arrives Highly skilled Staff augmentation is necessary.

Staff augmentation can be divided into more categories.

Traditional Staff Providers: When there is a need for temporary laborers, then there is a traditional way of augmenting staff. These kind of temporary staff are good in skill-based commodities and are the best option for non-critical projects which requires very high-level skills. This is the most preferred category since it’s very flexible.
Master Vendor Staff Provider: In this category, there will be only a single vendor who runs the whole augmentation process. This is a very large-scale staffing process. This is best for highly-commoditized work requirements.
Specialized/Boutique Agencies: These are smaller agencies or organizations which target highly specialized and skilled talents. It’s known for its best quality services.
Gig Platforms: This category works online and provides quick access to independent workers. This category is best for task-oriented requirements for more commoditized skillsets. This model is known for its speed and flexibility.
On-demand Talent Platforms: These are also online platforms that can provide highly skilled talents. This is best when we need the talent to be deployed quickly.
Independent Contractors: Independent contractors are engaged directly by organizations.
