    FAQs

    When do I need IT team extension services?

    The main reasons to get the team extension services are:

    • Lack of expertise in the internal team to finish certain aspects of the project, so you need new specialists;
    • Shortage of specialists and deadlines don’t leave enough time to hire them on your own;
    • Business priority shifted towards new products, but you still need people to support and maintain the previous projects.
    What is Peppernode's process for hiring specialists?

    To start, let us know about your project and lacking experts’ needs – you can do this by filling out the form above or via email to hi@peppernode.co. We can sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if needed.

    After receiving the initial project information, we will check the needed experts’ availability to shorten hiring time and kick off the project ASAP. If there are no available experts right now, we need from 1 to 4 weeks to choose those depending on the tech stack and seniority level required. Middle-level experts who work with popular technologies are faster and easier to find than Lead specialists on rare technologies.

    Once we find the required specialists, we schedule an interview with you to get your vetting and ensure the preferred staffing aligns with your company values and fully matches your needs.

    When we agree on chosen experts, we sign a contract, and the new hire starts working on your project.

    If you feel the hired specialists aren’t a fit during the first month, we are committed to replacing them fast and without any additional fees.

    What is the process of working with hired specialists?

    After hiring a specialist as a part of team extension services, they start working on your project following the established internal process and under your full management.

    We contact you regularly to track your satisfaction with new hires.

    If, during the first month, you feel the hired specialists aren’t fit, we are committed to replacing them fast and without any additional fees.

    What are the benefits of hiring external IT experts to the team?

    IT team extension is beneficial in multiple ways:

    • Faster business scaling due to additional talent that can expand your business operations;
    • Access to specialized skills that might be absent from your internal team or market;
    • Cost efficiency, since outsourcing is faster and cheaper compared to hiring talent by yourself;
    • Access to qualified specialists without dealing with the recruitment process since we take care of it ourselves;
    • Extended teams’ reliability is higher than that of freelance specialists since an extended team focuses solely on your project.
