Commonly Asked Questions.
Staff augmentation provides individual recruitment practitioners who integrate with your existing team and processes. You maintain complete control over recruitment strategy, processes, and decision-making. RPO is a comprehensive service where we design and manage recruitment processes, provide technology, and own performance outcomes. RPO is suited for organisations seeking systematic transformation rather than temporary capacity support. Staff augmentation works best when you have established recruitment processes but need additional hands or specialised expertise. RPO work best when you're building foundational capability or transforming existing approaches.
Can we try staff augmentation before committing to RPO?
Yes. Many clients begin with staff augmentation to experience our practitioners' quality and cultural fit before engaging for more comprehensive RPO solutions. This approach de-risks larger commitments while addressing immediate capacity needs. We can transition seamlessly from staff augmentation to RPO as your requirements evolve.
- Rapid feedback loops in the first 2 weeks
- Performance discussions with clear expectations
- Practitioner replacement at no additional cost if needed
- Continuous optimisation throughout the engagement
Do practitioners work onsite or remotely?
Both options are available based on your preferences and requirements. Many clients use hybrid models where practitioners work on-site several days per week and remotely for others. We match deployment models to your team culture, hiring manager preferences, and role requirements. Remote deployment works effectively for sourcing-focused roles, while embedded specialists typically benefit from on-site presence.
How do you price staff augmentation?

- Daily rates for short-term engagements (under 3 months)
