I NEED 1–5 ENGINEERS

Staff AugmentationSenior engineers inside your team, working your process.

You have a working team, a clear backlog, and more work than hands. Staff augmentation puts vetted India-based engineers into your existing squads — attending your standups, working in your repos, shipping against your definition of done. You keep direction of the work. We carry sourcing, screening, contracting and payroll.

THIS FITS WHEN
  • Your team and process already work, and the constraint is capacity rather than direction
  • You have a named engineering lead who can review the work
  • You want to scale up for a quarter or a roadmap, not permanently
  • Local hiring would take longer than the work can wait
THIS IS THE WRONG MODEL WHEN

If nobody on your side has time to review the work or set priorities, more engineers will slow you down rather than speed you up.

Consider Managed Delivery, where we own the plan as well as the people
WHO DOES WHAT

No ambiguity
about who owns what.

Most engagements that go wrong went wrong here, before anyone wrote code. This is the split we work to.

YOU OWN
  • Direction of the work and sprint priorities
  • Code review and acceptance
  • Access to repositories, environments and tooling
  • Product decisions
HEXALABS OWNS
  • Sourcing and technical screening
  • Contracting, invoicing and payroll
  • Replacement if a placement is not working out
  • Ongoing account support through the engagement
THE PROCESS

How an engagement
actually runs.

  1. 1

    Requirement

    You describe the role, the stack, the seniority and the review owner on your side. One page is usually enough.

  2. 2

    Sourcing

    We search our network and bench against that brief rather than against keywords on a resume.

  3. 3

    Technical screening

    Engineers are assessed on the problems your role actually involves. You see our notes, not just a resume.

  4. 4

    Your interview

    You interview shortlisted engineers yourself. No placement happens without your yes.

  5. 5

    Onboarding

    Access, tooling, overlap hours and a reporting cadence are agreed before day one.

  6. 6

    Ongoing support

    A named point of contact stays with the engagement — for scaling, replacement or escalation.

TYPICAL ROLES

Roles we place
on this model.

Not an exhaustive list. If the role you need is not here, ask — we will tell you honestly whether we can staff it.

WHY TRUST A NEW FIRM

We are new.
So we carry the risk, not you.

Hexalabs is early. We would rather say that than imply a history we do not have — you would find out anyway, and it would cost us the engagement. Instead, here is what we commit to in writing so trying us costs you very little.

A two weeks paid pilot

Start with a two-week paid pilot on real work from your backlog. At the end you decide whether to continue, with no further obligation and no notice period to serve. You will have seen the code, the communication and the pace before committing to anything longer.

Free replacement in the first 30 days

If an engineer is not working out in the first 30 days, we replace them at our cost, including the handover. You do not pay twice for the same seat, and you do not run the hiring process again.

Two weeks notice, always

Engagements run on two weeks notice. If it is not working, you are not trapped in it. We would rather you left early than stayed unhappy and told people about it.

You interview everyone

You interview every engineer before they join, and nobody is placed without your yes. Our screening notes come with each profile so you can see what we assessed and judge it yourself.

These terms go into your contract, not just onto this page. Ask us for them in writing before you commit to anything.

NEXT STEP

Request Developers.

Tell us the role and the stack. We will come back with profiles.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Still deciding? A short conversation is usually faster than another round of research.

Ask us directly

You get the same working relationship, without doing the sourcing, screening, contracting or cross-border payroll yourself. If someone is not working out, replacing them is our problem rather than a hiring cycle you have to run again.

Yes. Engineers on a staff augmentation engagement are assigned to one client and are not shared across accounts.

You do. They work to your leads, your process and your definition of done. We stay involved for the commercial and HR side, and step in if something is not working.

Engagements run on a notice period agreed at contract stage. We will tell you what that is in writing before you commit.
