Personeelsuitbreiding voor webontwikkelingsteams

Staff augmentation gives you a pre-vetted senior engineer who already knows your stack, not a freelancer learning on your dime. When you hire through Upwork or Toptal, you're searching a marketplace of generalists. You run the interviews, you gamble on fit, and you spend 4-6 weeks onboarding. With our model, we narrow the match to engineers who've shipped hundreds of Next.js, Astro, and Supabase projects. Your engineer joins your Slack and your GitHub org within days. The 2-week paid trial means you evaluate real output in your actual repo before committing to a 3-month engagement. If the engineer doesn't meet your bar, you get a full refund. A typical marketplace contractor costs you $10K-$15K in lost productivity during onboarding alone. Our engineers skip that curve because they've already solved your exact problems.

You'll pay $8K-$18K per month per senior engineer depending on seniority tier and required time zone overlap. That rate is fixed for the duration of your engagement. There are no recruiter markups, no bench fees, and no hourly billing surprises. The 3-month minimum commitment keeps pricing stable, and you can exit with 30 days written notice after that. Compare this to Toptal, where senior Next.js engineers bill $10K-$25K per month with no stack-match guarantee, or to a full-time US hire at $160K-$220K per year plus benefits, equity, and recruiting fees. Your staff augmentation rate includes our replacement guarantee, 24-hour Slack SLA, and monthly velocity reporting at no additional cost.

Your engineer ships their first PR within the first week. Here's the timeline: you share your repo and stack details on day one, we present 2-3 matched candidates within 48 hours, you interview and choose by end of week one, and the engineer joins your tools on the next business day. Because our engineers have shipped 5,000+ sites on the same Next.js, Astro, and Supabase patterns you're running, there's no ramp-up on framework conventions or rendering strategies. They read your codebase, follow your PR conventions, and start closing tickets. By week two of the paid trial, most engineers are at 70-80% of full sprint velocity. By month two, they're indistinguishable from your internal team in standups and code reviews.

You get a full refund for the trial period and a replacement candidate within 5 business days. During the 2-week paid trial, you evaluate the engineer's code quality, communication, and velocity against your own team's standards. If they don't meet your bar for any reason, you tell us and the engagement ends cleanly. After the trial, during the 3-month engagement, our replacement guarantee still applies. If performance drops or team dynamics shift, we swap the engineer at no additional cost within one sprint cycle. You never get stuck with an underperformer. This is the biggest difference between our model and marketplace platforms like Turing or Andela, where rotation and quality inconsistency are the norm.

Toptal and Turing are CV-driven marketplaces. They match you based on resume keywords and a generic technical screen. You still run the interviews, you still gamble on stack fit, and you still spend weeks onboarding a generalist. Our model is stack-first. Every engineer we place has shipped production Next.js, Astro, or Supabase code across hundreds of projects. They know your rendering patterns, your deployment pipeline conventions, and the SEO pitfalls that generic React developers miss. Toptal charges $10K-$25K per month with no trial refund and no replacement guarantee. Turing rotates engineers across clients, so you lose context every few months. We give you a named senior at $8K-$18K per month with a 2-week refund-backed trial, zero rotation, and a 24-hour response SLA. Your engineer stays on your project until the work is done.

Yes, completely. Your augmented engineer joins your GitHub org, your Slack workspace, your Linear or Jira board, and your daily standup on day one of the trial. They follow your branching strategy, your PR review conventions, and your deploy process. There's no separate project management layer and no agency dashboard between you and the engineer. You assign tickets the same way you assign them to your internal team. Your engineering lead runs code review the same way they do for any other team member. The only difference is the invoice comes from us. This is the point of staff augmentation: you add capacity without adding process overhead or changing how your team already works.

The minimum commitment is a 2-week paid trial followed by a 3-month engagement. The trial costs your standard monthly rate prorated to two weeks. If the engineer doesn't meet your bar, you get a full refund and there's no further obligation. Once you sign the 3-month engagement, your rate is fixed for the duration. After three months, you can continue month-to-month or exit with 30 days written notice. There are no long-term lock-ins and no early termination fees after the initial period. Most of our engagements run 6-12 months because the engineer becomes deeply embedded in the codebase. But you're never forced to stay. The 30-day exit clause protects you if priorities shift, budgets change, or you hire a full-time replacement.

Yes, and most clients who start with staff augmentation eventually scale up. You can add a second engineer to the same engagement within two weeks using the same trial process. If you need three or more engineers, a dedicated team lead, or QA and DevOps support, we'll transition you to our dedicated team model, which starts at $25K per month. The transition is smooth because your existing augmented engineer stays on the project and helps onboard the new team members. You keep the same Slack channels, the same GitHub repos, and the same standup cadence. About 40% of our dedicated team engagements started as a single staff augmentation placement that proved the model before the client scaled.
