Your team, extended

Staff augmentation means adding engineers from an external partner to your own team, working under your direction, in your tools and processes, for as long as you need them. You keep product ownership, priorities and the codebase; we handle recruitment, employment and retention.

Sometimes you need extra people, specific expertise or a full team without the time and cost of hiring. One senior developer to strengthen a project, or a complete cross-functional team. We match on technical skill, and also on communication, culture fit and the ability to work independently.

What nearshoring means Wat nearshoring betekent

Nearshore advantage

Nearshoring is working with an engineering team in a nearby country, in the same or an adjacent time zone, so collaboration runs as it does with colleagues in the next room. For Dutch companies, Sarajevo is nearshore: the same working hours, and a short flight when you want to meet in person.

Our teams are used to working with Dutch clients, speak English fluently and understand European business culture. You get strong engineering talent at competitive rates, and quality stays high because collaboration stays close.

Flexible engagement

Workloads change, priorities shift, projects have phases. Scale up when a deadline is coming, bring in a specialist for a specific challenge, scale down when the pressure eases. No long-term lock-in.

We handle recruitment, onboarding, HR and retention. You focus on the product. The model works best when you need at least one dedicated developer for three months or more.

Knowledge and continuity

We prevent knowledge loss through documentation, structured knowledge sharing and team stability: the same engineers stay on your product for years, and our average engineer tenure is well above the industry norm. The biggest risk in augmentation is losing knowledge when people leave, so we treat continuity as part of the service.

Your dedicated team builds up domain knowledge over time and becomes expert in your product. Because they stay, the code gets better and the bug list gets shorter.

For the Synigo Pulse project, Isatis started with three experienced engineers. The team grew to five, plus QA specialists, and the engineers who started are still on it. Because almost nobody leaves, the team now works on its own and is part of Synigo’s product organisation.

Staff augmentation adds engineers to your team who build under your direction for months or years; consulting brings in an advisor for a defined question, such as an architecture review or a technology roadmap. If you know what to build and need hands, choose augmentation. If you need to decide what to build or how, start with IT consulting.

They work in your tools, your repositories and your ceremonies from the first week: daily stand-ups, sprint reviews and demos in your time zone. You interview and approve the people we propose, and they report to your product owner or lead developer like an in-house engineer.

Nearshore rates are competitive with Dutch salaries, and the comparison is wider than the hourly rate: recruitment, employment, HR, workplace and retention are on our side, and you scale down without a redundancy process. We send rates per seniority level after the first call.

Isatis does. Our engineers are employed at our Sarajevo office, work under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 processes and sign the same confidentiality obligations we agree with you. We sign an NDA before the first detailed conversation.

Yes. There is no long-term lock-in: scale up when a deadline approaches and scale down when the pressure eases. Most clients keep a stable core team and flex around it.
