Vikaas · Staff augmentation
Staff augmentation is for when the team is the right team — it just needs more hands now. Vikaas drops vetted engineers into your existing team, under your managers and your process, in weeks instead of months.
You keep ownership and direction. We carry the sourcing, screening, and the warm bench, so an open seat stops holding your roadmap hostage.
Banao — keeps a pre-screened bench so a request for engineers becomes working people in weeks.
The point of augmentation is that nothing about your team changes except its capacity. We fit in; we do not take over.
They join your standups, your tools, and your process. You direct the work; we make sure the person can do it.
Every engineer clears a technical screen on InterviewGod first, so you are adding capacity, not a hiring risk.
Scale the number up for a push and down when it eases, without the cost of permanent headcount you may not need later.
If a fit is wrong, we replace from the bench rather than sending you back to a months-long search.
Metrics shown dotted (··) are being finalised in our case-study metrics pack. The engagements are real; we will not publish a number before it is verified.
Banao (internal)
Banao maintains a pre-screened bench for its own teams, which is why augmentation starts in weeks. You are drawing on a pool that already exists, not a search that begins when you call.
HCL · CP Plus
Banao has added engineering capacity to delivery for names like HCL and CP Plus from its bench — the same model behind these augmentation placements.
When a Banao team needs more hands for a push, we pull pre-screened engineers from the same bench you would. We feel the cost of a slow backfill or a bad-fit add directly, in our own delivery.
That is why the screen comes before the seat, not after. A vendor that has never had to absorb a wrong hire into its own team screens less carefully than one that has.
Adding hands to your team is not always the fix. We will tell you when it isn't:
We scope the gap and trial the fit before you commit to headcount.
We pin down the skills the seat needs, the level, and how the engineer plugs into your team. You keep the plan regardless.
Pre-screened engineers, then a short paid trial inside your team before a longer commitment — you test the fit, not the résumé.
The engineer joins your process under your management, and you flex the count up or down as the work changes.
Who manages the augmented engineers?
You do. Augmentation means the engineers join your team, your standups, and your process under your managers. Banao's job is to make sure each person can do the work and to keep the bench ready when you need more — not to run your project.
How is this different from a dedicated team?
Augmentation adds individuals to your team under your direction. A dedicated team is a Banao-managed squad that owns an outcome with its own lead. If you need accountability for a result rather than extra hands, the dedicated-team model fits better.
Can I scale the number up and down?
Yes — that flexibility is the point. You add engineers for a push and reduce when it eases, without carrying permanent headcount you may not need later. We keep the bench warm so scaling up stays fast.
What if an augmented engineer is not the right fit?
The paid trial is there so a wrong fit costs days, not a quarter. If someone clears the trial and still does not work out, we replace from the bench instead of restarting a search.
Bring the open seat and the deadline it is threatening. In 30 minutes we'll scope the augmentation that closes the gap.
