Speed-to-productivity is the whole game in staff augmentation. Here's the repeatable process that gets new hires shipping fast.

A specialist who takes two months to get productive isn't augmenting your team, they're a tax on it. We designed our onboarding to avoid exactly that.

The two-week runway

  • Week one: access, context, and shadowing real tickets.
  • Week two: supervised ownership with a named buddy.
  • Day fifteen: fully independent, measured against clear KPIs.
Onboarding is a product. We iterate on it like one.
