What is Staff Augmentation?
A workforce strategy where an organization hires external personnel through a staffing provider to fill specific skill gaps or capacity needs, with the augmented staff working under the client's direct management and alongside internal teams.
Why it matters in hiring
Staff Augmentation comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
