Why it matters

Specialist engineers, when and for as long as you need them

Many staff augmentation firms place software developers. Security and infrastructure roles are harder to fill: a firewall migration needs someone who has done one before, and a security program cannot wait months for a new hire to start.

Our IT staff augmentation places engineers from the same disciplines we deliver every day, including network infrastructure, security engineering and monitoring, systems engineering and cloud architecture. They join your team as contracted extensions, follow your processes and can call on the rest of Triden for escalations.

FAQ

IT staff augmentation questions

IT staff augmentation adds contracted technical professionals to your existing team for a project or an ongoing need. They work under your direction, as part of your team, without you going through a full hiring process.

No. We focus on security and infrastructure roles, such as security engineers, network engineers, systems engineers, cloud engineers, IT support technicians and IT project managers. Those are the disciplines we deliver ourselves.

Yes. We put forward candidates who meet your requirements, and you review and interview them before choosing who joins your team.

Engagements can be short-term for a specific project, or medium and long-term for ongoing work. Terms can be fixed or flexible depending on what you need.

Cost depends on the role, the level of experience required, the length of the engagement, the hours and whether the work is remote or on site. We give you a rate proposal once we understand the role.

Staff augmentation suits you when you want to direct the work yourself and need extra people inside your team. Managed IT services suit you when you want us to own the outcome. Some clients use both.
