Staff augmentation · SW 225°
Engineers who join your team, not a ticket queue.
We hire the best engineers in Latin America and place them with your team, in your tools and your hours. You direct the work. We handle hiring, contracts, payroll and the check-ins that keep the placement working.
What is staff augmentation?
Staff augmentation is adding engineers to your own team on a contract, directed by you day to day, without hiring them as employees. Norwind places senior engineers from Latin America inside US teams, working US hours in the client's tools, and handles the hiring, contracts, payroll and monthly check-ins.
Who it is for
You will recognise yourself, or you will not.
- Engineering teams with a roadmap longer than their headcount
- Companies that tried offshore vendors and got a ticket queue instead of a colleague
- Teams that need a senior hand for a year, not a permanent hire
- Companies that want US working hours without US hiring lead times
What you get
What arrives, and what stays.
- Engineers interviewed and tested by our own senior team, not by a recruiter with a keyword list
- Overlap with US working hours; Latin America shares your time zones
- One monthly invoice; contracts, payroll and compliance handled in-country
- A replacement if it is not working, without restarting the search
How it runs
Four steps. The card goes round once.
Every step ends with something you can see.
01 · Brief
Stack, seniority, the work they will do, and who they report to. Half an hour with us is usually enough.
02 · Shortlist
Candidates our engineers have already interviewed and tested. You meet two or three, not twenty.
03 · Start
Onboarding, access and a first small deliverable inside the first two weeks.
04 · Check in
A standing monthly conversation with you and with the engineer. Problems get raised early, on both sides.
Questions
The ones we are asked first.
Where are the engineers?
Across Latin America, with a strong base in Brazil through our staffing partner EnzRossi.
Who do they work for?
You direct the work day to day. We hold the contract and stay responsible for the placement.
What if it is not a fit?
We replace the engineer. The brief and the interviews are already done, so the second start is faster than the first.
Can they become a full-time hire later?
Yes. Talk to us and we will work out a handover.
