Resource augmentation, also known as IT staff augmentation, is a way of adding skilled IT professionals to your business for exactly as long as you need them, without running a full recruitment process yourself. A specialist partner finds, screens and supplies the right people, so a skills or capacity gap is closed quickly and your team keeps moving.
Adaptable teams can solve almost any challenge they face. When a skills or resource shortfall appears, resource augmentation is the quickest and most efficient way to pair the right IT professional with the right role.
If you need specialist team members in a short space of time, our IT staffing solutions are built for that situation. You tell us what the role needs; we bring you people who already have the skills and experience to do it.
IT resource outsourcing solves several problems at once. For SMEs in particular, IT contract staffing is a cost-effective way to:
Pay for specialist skills only when you need them, instead of carrying a permanent salary for every specialism your business occasionally relies on.
Bring in IT specialists with expertise your current team does not have, without retraining existing staff or delaying the work.
Draw on experience that takes years to build in-house, from people who have solved the same problems for other businesses.
Avoid the cost of advertising roles, sifting applications and running rounds of interviews for every vacancy.
Leave the searching, shortlisting and screening to us and keep your own time for running the business.
Specialist skills let you take on projects and offer services that rivals without the same expertise have to turn away.
Small and medium-sized businesses have the most to gain from resource augmentation. Larger organisations usually have the infrastructure and people to hand specialist tasks to the right team member. Smaller businesses often do not have those resources in place yet.
Hiring IT experts also takes a great deal of time, time that is better spent on your core business than on reading hundreds of CVs. Interviewing for specialist roles is demanding and should never be rushed, and not every business has someone on the payroll who can assess a technical candidate accurately. For many SMEs, the answer is to hand that work to a partner whose job is matching the right candidate to the right role.
If any of these sound familiar, talk to us now, so the next time it happens you can hand the problem to us.
Resource augmentation greatly reduces the risk of a poor hire. Experienced IT professionals can also help SMEs manage wider business risks, including data security, IT governance and regulation.
If a member of staff falls ill or leaves unexpectedly, outsourcing keeps operations running without damaging disruption. Expert IT contract staffing gives you access to vetted professionals, saves considerable time and money, and means you only pay for the resources you actually need.
We have access to a bank of highly skilled, specialist IT professionals with the skills and experience you are looking for. These candidates are hard to find, but finding them is our job, and we are very good at it. Our talent pool includes, but is not limited to:
Need a role that is not on the list? Ask us. Niche and hard-to-fill positions are a large part of what we do.
Choose the model that fits your needs most closely. Bring in temporary experts to fill specific skill gaps, onboard permanent team members, use retained recruitment for executive-level positions or outsource entire projects to an external team. Every service is tailored to your requirements, and we work hard to find the best fit for you.
Independent IT professionals supplied for a fixed period or the duration of a project.
Best for short-term skills gaps and project peaks.
Onboard fully vetted new team members without doing all the hard work yourself.
Best for long-term roles at the heart of your team.
Fill strategic roles with the right person, for a pre-agreed fee.
Best for senior and executive-level positions.
Outsource an entire project to an external team that delivers it for you.
Best when you want the outcome rather than extra headcount.
Outsourcing a website, web application or software build? Our own development team can take it on. See our software development and web application development services.
We get to work as soon as you need us. Every engagement starts with a consultation, and we only begin sourcing once we are certain we understand your needs and goals.
We sit down with you to cover the IT roles you need to fill, the skills and experience required, the hiring model, your working culture and business values, your management structure, the responsibilities of the new hire, and your timeline and onboarding process.
We draw on our wide network of recruiters to find the strongest candidates, however niche the role.
Candidates are screened in advance, so only people with the relevant experience and skills reach the interview stage.
You meet a shortlist of people who are already a match for the role, and choose who joins your team.
Once you have found the right fit, we help with the onboarding process too.
Your single point of contact stays available whenever you need help and support.
Have a very specific requirement? Any requirement can be contracted from our pool of developers. Tell us what you need and leave the search with us.
We pride ourselves on the level of service we give every client. Here is what that means when you hire through us:

Resource augmentation services give a business quick access to skilled IT professionals without running a full recruitment process in-house. A specialist partner finds, screens and supplies the right people for a set period, a permanent role or a complete project, so you can close a skills or capacity gap without slowing down the rest of the business.
Resource augmentation adds individual IT professionals to your existing team, working on your priorities alongside your own staff. Outsourcing hands a whole project to an external team to deliver. Web Choice offers both: contractors, permanent and retained hires for augmentation, and our External model when you would rather outsource the entire project.
Yes. SMEs often have the most to gain, because they rarely have the in-house recruiters or technical interviewers needed to hire specialist IT staff quickly. Resource augmentation lets a smaller business bring in proven expertise when it is needed and pay only for the resources it uses.
Our talent pool includes IT support managers and engineers, IT consultants, IT technicians, data analysts, UI and UX specialists, project managers, DevOps engineers, cybersecurity experts, software and application developers, IT auditors and compliance officers, help desk professionals and network engineers. If the role you need is not listed, ask us, as niche roles are a large part of what we do.
We offer four models. Contractors are independent IT professionals supplied for a fixed period or the length of a project. Permanent placements bring fully vetted people into your team for the long term. Retained recruitment fills strategic and executive-level roles for a pre-agreed fee. External means outsourcing an entire project to an external team.
We start work as soon as you need us to. The time it takes to place someone depends on the role, how specialist it is and the hiring model you choose, so we agree a realistic timeline with you during your consultation rather than quoting a figure that does not fit your brief.
Every candidate is screened before the interview stage, so the people you meet already have the experience and skills your role needs. Before we start sourcing, we also learn about your working culture, values and management structure, so the people we put forward suit how your team works as well as what it does.
There is no single price, because no one-price solution fits every requirement. Pricing depends on the type of task, along with the hiring model you choose. Once we understand what you need at your free consultation, you will receive a clear quote before you commit to anything.
Yes. You are assigned a single point of contact who is available whenever you need help and support, from the first consultation through to onboarding your new team member and beyond.
Whatever sector your business works in, and however specialised the role, our resource augmentation services give you fast access to the IT professionals you need, with pricing models that adapt to your budget. Tell us who you are looking for and we will help you build the team to deliver it.
Your next best hire is only an email away.
