Our People Take Staff Augmentation Seriously
Let us tell you a not-so-secret fact in the staffing industry.
For many, staff augmentation has become very transactional. Especially in an era where anyone can hire from anywhere, for any expertise.

Creating a transportation network system for an entire city? — Check.

AI-powering financial software for some of the world’s largest banks and lending institutions? — Still sends shivers down our spine.
So, the prospect of working on your project? We can’t wait.

Holistic Needs Compilation
Uncovering the Why in Hiring
We don’t just ask if you need ‘X’ developer; we explore the reasons ‘why’. Our approach is to ask the right questions, ensuring we comprehend not just your immediate requirement, but the broader context and objectives of your project.
Our team emphasizes understanding not only the technical requirements of the role but also the cultural fit and alignment with Sphere’s values, and the value of our clients.
Skill assessment, aptitude, problem-solving skills and cultural fit; we take this all into account for any individual talent we recommend along with his/her adaptability into your broader customer portfolio.
Preliminary Talent Evaluation
Comprehensive Candidate Analysis
We take pride in the fact that all our developers are full-time hires and integral members of our team first. So, our recruitment process goes beyond qualifying for technical expertise; We also assess whether the candidates we recommend to you can communicate effectively in your company’s language and understand your industry’s specific terminologies.
Furthermore, our talent matching team utilizes the latest AI tools in combination of their expert analysis for initial application analysis, ensuring an efficient and objective preliminary screening process.
Advanced Technical Assessment
Beyond Technical Skills: Total Fit Screening
In this step, our own senior engineers and business unit owners conduct further, more rigorous internal screenings and various challenges to assess candidates’ practical skills.
A critical part of this process is giving each talent real-world problem assignments. We simulate the same factors of real tech scenarios’ problems—to assess their problem-solving and technical skills in real-time.
Our technical assessments are conducted with this highest standard—to the point of often leaving applicants even more eager to be a part of the project.
Client Success Assessments
Joint Evaluation Framework
We go the extra mile by including your assigned client success partners in our recruitment process. This joint evaluation framework includes testing candidates on both technical and cultural fit parameters as they are finalized for project placement.
Furthermore, all of our candidates actively contribute to this process. After learning about our client and their project, they are asked provide feedback about their understanding and alignment with the client’s expectations and culture.
We then present this to the client and collect feedback regarding the candidates’ performance, adaptability, and how they think about their overall fit.
Sustained Success Program
Our Partnership Perfection Promise
We have implemented an interactive and structured feedback and performance review process, similar to what is practiced by tech industry giants, to continuously evaluate and support the growth of our employees.
We also provide continuous learning and mentorship for our resources who are not just in between projects, but also access to learning tools and experts to those who need assistance when on a project, ensuring they are up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices in the field.
This ensures that the development resource remains the perfect fit for your needs—whether it’s for 7 days, 30 days, a year and beyond. And, in the rare event that our match does not meet your expectations, we proactively address any issues, including providing an immediate replacement if necessary.
