A staff augmentation proposal for a software company that cannot hire developers fast enough. It covers how long each role has been open, a rate card by role, how candidates are chosen and start, the first 90 days, sample profiles, a similar client’s results and three monthly team shapes.

<h2>Thank you for the conversation</h2><p style="font-size:clamp(20px,2.1cqw,23px);line-height:1.5">You need experienced developers in your sprints this quarter, without waiting months to hire.</p>
