Why Staff Augmentation Makes Sense Even for Big Builds

You are under pressure to get work done, and if you need a few extra hands on deck, staff augmentation makes sense. But what about when you’re faced with a major effort that will require a lot of talent?

You have three options:

Option 1

Outsource the entire project to a vendor like SweetRush.

Option 2

Bring on W2 employees and commit to building a large in-house team.

Option 3

Turn to SweetRush to scale up for you a large group of vetted L&D professionals to work on a staff augmentation basis.

Here’s when option #3  just might make sense:

Congrats, that major initiative landed! But quickly building a great L&D team is harder than it's ever been—and you don’t have the time for a second job juggling resumes! There’s deadline pressure for this project of a lifetime, and you need a lot of talent. Finding talent and building a team is hard and will take too long. But this is what we do, so allow us to scale your team quickly.

Realistically, your internal recruiters won’t be able to find the high-performance niche players you need. They don't specialize in L&D and don't have a huge database of trusted talent at their fingertips. This is our community, and that is why we can build an awesome team for you quickly.

The Process You Can  Expect When We Work Together

We too do this work and we truly know the pressure you’re under. Its our responsibility to know your unique needs and the unique skillsets of the talents we source for you. All of this is possible because we practice relationship recruiting. You can expect to be surprised that the resumes we submit will be amazingly on target!

Here's what it looks like when you partner with SweetRush Talent.

Real-time visibility — dashboards showing utilization, fill rates, learner satisfaction, and program ROI

Whether you're running a one-region pilot or a global rollout across multiple business units, we scale up — and back down — without the fixed overhead of building it yourself.
