Frequently Asked Questions
What is IT staff augmentation?
Staff augmentation lets you add skilled developers to your existing team to scale capacity, without hiring full-time locally or setting up an entity. You direct the work day to day, while Wisemonk employs the developers in India and handles payroll and compliance.
How is staff augmentation different from outsourcing?
With outsourcing you hand a project to an external vendor. With staff augmentation the developers are embedded in your team and managed by you, so you keep full control of priorities, workflow, and delivery.
How fast can we add developers?
Around 30 days to a fully onboarded team, with kickoff in less than 48 hours. Contracts, compliance setup, and your first hiring scorecard are ready in 2 days, and interviews can begin the same week.
Where in India can you hire developers?
Across all of India. We support fully remote hiring nationwide, with strong talent hubs in Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, and Chennai.
What is your pricing model?
Flat per-seat monthly fee. No hidden margins, no markup on developer salaries, no surprise compliance charges. You see the full breakdown before you sign.
What is the minimum team size?
Start with 1 developer. Scale to 50 or more as your needs grow. No minimum commitment on team size.
Do you help us find the talent too?
Yes. Our recruitment division sources, screens, and shortlists vetted India developers for you. Useful if you want speed without building your own India hiring pipeline.
Who legally employs the developers, us or Wisemonk?
Wisemonk is the legal employer in India. We hold the employment contract, run payroll, and own the compliance burden. You get full operational control of your developers day to day.
Can we scale the team up or down?
Yes. You can add developers as your roadmap grows, and we handle offboarding under Indian labour law including notice periods, final settlement, and statutory exits when you need to scale down.
Do you protect our intellectual property?
Yes. Every developer signs an enforceable IP assignment agreement and NDA at onboarding, drafted under Indian law so your work and source code remain fully yours.
Still have a question?
Our team is ready to assist you with anything you need.
