Recruitment, outsourcing, or software development?
Three ways to work with ERAMOVA, and how to pick the model that fits your goal.
GuideBy ERAMOVA
The three models in one minute
ERAMOVA offers three distinct engagement models. Recruitment is a one-time hire you employ directly, for a fee equal to one month of the hired employee's gross salary. Employee outsourcing gives you a dedicated remote employee who works exclusively for you: ERAMOVA handles sourcing, onboarding, contract-related support, HR, payroll, employee administration, and operational follow-up, while you direct day-to-day work. Custom software development delivers a built product as a fixed-scope project or managed delivery team, with project management and post-launch support defined by project scope and the applicable agreement; IP terms are defined in the applicable agreement, and an NDA is available on request.
Compare the three models
The same work can often be done through more than one model; the difference is ownership, management, and how you pay.
| Dimension | Recruitment | Employee outsourcing | Software development |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A vetted candidate you employ directly | A dedicated remote employee with employment operations handled by ERAMOVA | A delivered product, feature, or managed delivery team |
| Who manages day-to-day work | Your company | Your company directs tasks and deliverables | ERAMOVA — project manager, sprints, milestones |
| HR & payroll | Your company | ERAMOVA, depending on engagement scope | Not applicable (project) |
| IP and ownership | Governed by your employment terms | Defined in the applicable agreement | Defined in the applicable agreement; NDA available on request |
| Payment model | One-time fee = one month's gross salary | Monthly rate aligned with local salary standards | Fixed-scope quote or managed-delivery-team rate |
| Typical speed | Curated shortlist typically within days | Sourced and onboarded for you | Timelines depend on scope, estimated up front |
When to choose each
A simple way to decide, based on how much you want to own and manage.
- Choose recruitment when you want to hire directly and build your own team, and you're comfortable managing HR and payroll.
- Choose employee outsourcing when you want dedicated capacity without running the employment, HR, payroll, and employee-administration layer yourself — you direct the work, and ERAMOVA runs those operations.
- Choose software development when you want ERAMOVA to own delivery of a defined product or project, as a fixed-scope build or a managed delivery team.
- Many companies combine or move between models over time — for example, starting with a managed remote team and later recruiting directly. A free discovery call can help you scope the right mix.
Where IT staff augmentation fits
IT staff augmentation is the engineering application of ERAMOVA's employee-outsourcing model. The key decision is who will direct the engineers and take responsibility for software delivery.
Your team directs the engineers
With staff augmentation, dedicated engineers from Egypt join your process and tools. You set priorities, make technical decisions and review the work; ERAMOVA handles the agreed recruitment, HR, payroll and administrative operations.
ERAMOVA manages delivery
When you want ERAMOVA to manage and deliver a product or feature, choose custom software development as a fixed-scope project or managed delivery team. It is a different responsibility model from client-directed staffing.
Match the model to your situation
Start with the work you need and the responsibilities your company wants to keep.
You want a developer on your own payroll
Choose recruitment when your company will employ the developer directly and handle HR and payroll. ERAMOVA sources and screens candidates; you interview, select and hire.
You have a team lead and need more capacity
Choose employee outsourcing when you will direct the day-to-day work but want ERAMOVA to run the agreed employment operations. For engineering capacity, this is IT staff augmentation.
You need a defined product delivered
Choose custom software development when you want ERAMOVA to manage delivery. Discuss scope, acceptance criteria, milestones, support and handover in the applicable agreement.
