Questions We Get Asked

Resource Augmentation — Answered Directly

Roles, vetting, control, conversion to EOR, and how to get started.

What is resource augmentation and how is it different from a staffing agency?
Resource augmentation means embedding pre-vetted, fully employed professionals directly into your team — without the hiring overhead, compliance burden, or long-term commitment of a full-time hire. Unlike a staffing agency that forwards CVs and steps away, StratGrid is the legal employer of every augmented resource. We handle employment contracts, payroll, statutory compliance, and ongoing account management. You direct the work entirely. We carry everything else.
What roles can StratGrid place — and how quickly?
We place across Technology (Full-Stack, DevOps, Data, AI/ML, QA), Design (UI/UX, Motion, Brand, Product), Marketing (SEO/SEM, Content, Growth), Finance (Bookkeeping, FP&A, Analysts), and Delivery (PMs, Scrum Masters, Product Managers). Our SLA is shortlisted profiles in 14 days or your first month is free.
How are candidates vetted before I see their profile?
Every candidate passes a 3-stage screen: (1) skills-based technical assessment, (2) a live interview with our technical team, and (3) a reference check. You only see profiles that have cleared all three stages.
Can a resource augmentation hire convert to a full-time EOR employee?
Yes. Any augmented resource can be transitioned to a full EOR employment arrangement with no break in service or compliance gap. We manage the entire transition — contracts, statutory adjustments, and benefits — under one engagement.
What is the difference between Resource Augmentation and EOR — do I need both?
EOR is for when you have found the person and need a compliant employment wrapper. Resource Augmentation is for when you need us to source, vet, and place the right person and then employ them. Many clients use both — RA to find talent, EOR to employ candidates they’ve found elsewhere.
Do I lose control of the resource once StratGrid is involved?
Not at all. You retain full operational control — task assignment, performance management, tooling, standups, and daily direction stay entirely with you. StratGrid handles the employment layer: contracts, payroll, compliance, and account management.
Can we start with one resource and scale up?
Yes. There’s no minimum engagement size. Many clients start with a single engineer or analyst and scale to a full team. Month-to-month contracts mean you can grow or reduce headcount without penalties.
