Staff Augmentation & Outstaffing

Most engagements: shortlist within 48 hours of a clear brief; first working day in 5–7 days after your interview and contract signing. Urgent gaps — tell us upfront; we often compress scheduling. This is vendor capacity, not permanent hiring — if you need someone on your org chart long-term, see IT Recruiting.

Ask what you are buying:

• Outstaffing (this page) — one to three specialists on vendor payroll for roughly one to six months; your TL/EM runs day-to-day work.
• IT Recruiting — permanent in-house headcount; you would write a job description and own the hire.
• Dedicated Team — three or more engineers as a stabilised unit for six months or longer; we help compose and maintain the team.

Need one senior dev this week → outstaffing. Need a squad for the rest of the year → dedicated team.

Outstaffing borrows named capacity on D-Factor/partner payroll for a defined period — you direct the work, we handle employment and billing. IT Recruiting places engineers into your organisation long-term (your payroll or EOR path). If the role should sit on your org chart permanently, outstaffing is the wrong product.

Choose outstaffing for one to three people, urgent coverage, or a gap under ~six months. Choose a Dedicated Team when you need three or more engineers working as a unit for six months or longer and want vendor-side team stability — not just individual placements.

Every specialist comes from a vetted partner company — not a freelancer marketplace. Employment contracts, professional liability, and an accountable organisation sit behind each person. If something goes wrong, you are not chasing an individual contractor.

From our vetted partner network in Poland and across Europe, structured for nearshore delivery to UK, Western Europe, and Nordics. Specialists work in your tools and rituals — remote by default. Periodic office visits can be arranged separately; visa and travel for client-site presence are the client's responsibility unless agreed otherwise in contract.

Yes. After the shortlist, you run your technical interview. We provide assessment notes per candidate and handle scheduling. You choose who starts — we do not assign blindly.

You do — like an extended member of your team. They join your standups, backlog, and code review. D-Factor handles payroll, EU contracts, and commercial administration for the engagement period.

Partners in our network clear a five-stage process — reputation review, process audit, technical interviews, test project, partnership review. Individuals are assessed before they reach your shortlist. No unvetted freelancers. More detail: About us.

Typical minimum: one month. Billing is monthly per specialist — transparent rates by seniority and stack, EU invoicing, payroll and compliance on our side. Confirm exact terms in your quote. For multi-person units over six months, a Dedicated Team model may fit better.

A trial period applies at the start of the engagement — if fit or output fails during that window, we replace the specialist at no extra placement fee. Duration is defined in your contract. After the trial window, replacements are handled case by case.

You do. EU-compliant contracts assign 100% of IP to the client for work performed during the engagement. No licensing grey areas or revenue-sharing on deliverables.
