Staff augmentation for the American leading workforce management startup

Business Challenges

01

Lack of in-house capacity

The client’s startup has been scaling rapidly and trying to conquer new markets to secure growth. In 2019, it raised $300M to expand its reach to the renewable energy market. Therefore, the company required additional development resources.

Our Approach

Our engineers extended an in-house development team working on a staffing management system. Our specialists joined the NodeJs and React divisions on the project and also reinforced the technical support team. The team working on this project has expanded from 1 engineer to 11 and still grows.

Business Value

We have been working on the client’s projects for a year and a half. During this period, the client has received:

Technical reinforcement of the team

Growing at such a rapid pace client talent infrastructure wasn’t equipped to support that velocity. We were able to support the hyper-scale by providing engineers with the needed seniority level and technical background.

Flexibility in the onboarding process

We take care of the onboarding process for every new engineer joining the client team. Our managers are responsible for recruiting the new specialists needed for the project, while the client can concentrate on building new verticals. The client gets maximum flexibility from the cooperation. If there is a need for additional resources – we provide specialists in approximately a month.

Strong technical expertise in NodeJS and React

During our cooperation, the team has grown from 1 to 11 engineers. Following the project needs, we provided senior-level specialists for its engineering and product divisions.

Managing the administrative side of the work

The client leans heavily on us when it comes to the bureaucratic side of the work. Our managers cover all the bookkeeping and HR-related errands. We are responsible for invoicing, staffing, organization of work, vacations and sick leaves, communication, and engineers’ professional growth.

Adapting to the client software development approaches

Our engineers adapt and learn the client’s approach to software development and manage to stay productive within the client development methodology

CTO, Fooring Company

This is the best offshoring experience I’ve had in my 25 years of doing this. Sombra is very productive. We’re cranking things out with very little rework needed. We have speed and quality, which is important because the system is live, so if we make a change, it has an immediate effect on our customer base.

Sombra successfully delivered a smooth-functioning product in the time that the client needed. Their developers were competent and receptive to feedback; the team lead, in particular, proved to have great expertise. They were accommodating of large and abrupt changes, making them a reliable partner.

Sombra keeps everything simple and prioritizes getting the work done. One thing that I was pleased with was that Sombra was able to adapt to and learn our approach to software development. They adopted our best practices and were productive within that development methodology. Overall, the quality of their work is above average.
