Frequently asked questions

• Are there any recruiting fees?

  Nope, no recruiting fees for our dedicated teams! Once you select a candidate, they are onboarded to your company as part of your team.

• How does staff augmentation work?

  We first help you identify what expertise, skills, number of positions, and seniority of developers the job requires. Then, we help you find people that match these needs and your job description and expectations. Finally, you select the right candidates and start working with your dedicated teams. Stateside pulls from its proprietary, extensive databases of technology specialists to work on your project. We are always ready to present candidates to you, whether from our existing talent pool or in the recruiting pipeline. If necessary, we would next schedule interviews with potential candidates. In most cases, you can also request a “test task” at this point to confirm a candidate’s technical skills. If the candidate passes the interview and test, they get placed with your company and onboarded to your team.

• How soon can I hire the right developers?

  The short answer is, it depends on the capabilities and seniority you’re looking for. Our hiring process can be immediate or last up to 30 business days, with some exceptions for hard-to-find, senior positions.

• How do I get started?

  Book a meeting with us or give us a call at (213) 357-1185. We will ask you a few questions, send you the Partnership Agreement, and we can start working together right away!
