Pros of Outstaff system

  • Easy way to strengthen your team quickly

  • Fast scaling of the team in both directions

    If it is necessary to strengthen your team - you just call to HF-Solution and get the specialist (or team) that you need at the moment. And at the end of the project, no one will be fired.
    If the outstaff specialist gets ill or at any other force majeure - we will provide another one with a free onboarding service.

  • It is economically justified and helps you to save money

    Searching for highly qualified specialists is very costly. HR spends time on recruiting and interviewing, the team is waiting for this specialist to come out, and the idle time causes lots of problems. With the help of outstaff it is possible to quickly fill up the missing resources, you will dispose of the specialist as your own. Outstaff gives flexibility to the team.
  • Elimination of labor disputes

    Elimination of labor disputes. When a customer signs a contract to work with an outstaffing company, and not directly with the engineer, it excludes this customer from various possible labor disputes that may affect this engineer.

  • You get the maximum immersion in the product from the contractor

    An outstaff specialist is immersed in the processes and atmosphere of your project almost as much as your own employee - with the acceptance of all requirements for work methods, corporate culture and work schedule.

  • Reducing the load on the HR department
    A part of the scope of work is removed from it, it becomes possible to optimize and reorganize it on the scale of the organization (especially important for enterprises with a geographically distributed structure).
  • Improving the efficiency

    Reducing costs (including time) for attracting and servicing personnel leads to a decrease in the cost of each man-hour of work of the company's employees. This leads to a decrease in the cost of production and, as a consequence, to an increase in the actual profit of the organization.

  • Reducing risks

    There is an opportunity to control and plan costs, there are no overstated costs at the stage of launching new projects and introducing innovative solutions. This increases the productivity of not only the information department but the entire enterprise. The client is guaranteed to receive the services he needs and does not disrupt the schedule for launching new projects.

Outstaff is like a car-sharing, while outsource is a taxi and in-house team is your own car. (c)

The differences between
OUTSTAFF AND OUTSOURCE

Outstaffing
Outsourcing
Cooperation model

A person/team is on the staff of the software company, but their hours are completely purchased by the customer company. Mostly it is full-time work on one project.

A person/team is on the contractor's staff, and the contractors form teams for clients' projects.

Accessibility
The customer usually selects one developer or the whole team, conducts interviews, or even more than one.

The customer does not interact with specific developers. Mostly the result is evaluated. Communication is organized between the customer and the project manager (or team leader).

Function
The contractor's function is to supplement, strengthen or completely replace the client's team. Usually, a dedicated team can completely close a project's needs.

A developer is involved in a project based on the project manager's decision and can operate on different functions of different projects.

Responsibility (contractor)
The manager on the side of the customer is responsible for the formation of the backlog and the setting of tasks. Developers communicate with him directly.
The contractor's manager is responsible for general accounting and HR support.

The contractor takes full responsibility for the development of the project or a part of it. The contractor forms a backlog, sets tasks, and monitors the implementation. The contractor's product manager or team lead communicates with the client.

Payment type
Payment model - retainer (when the customer pays a fixed amount per month for the developer/team) or time and material (hours worked multiplied by the rate).

Payment format - most often fix price, sometimes - time & material.
