What is IT staffing

IT outstaffing services place a developer inside your team — without the delivery overhead of full outsourcing

IT staffing services are a model where a specialist provider sources, vets, and places software developers directly inside your team. The developer works in your sprints, uses your tools, and reports to your tech lead. You control the work. The staffing partner handles sourcing, HR compliance, and payroll administration.

Talmatic is a Dublin-based IT staffing company that focuses exclusively on placing engineers for EU and US tech companies scaling from 10 to 50+ developers. Unlike a generalist recruiter, Talmatic pre-screens every candidate through technical assessments, code challenges, and English proficiency checks before you review a single profile.

IT staffing — also called IT outstaffing or staff augmentation services — suits companies that have strong internal tech leadership but need to scale execution capacity quickly.

Talmatic vs freelance

Why Talmatic outstaffing company outperforms freelancing

Freelance networks solve hour-by-hour problems. Building velocity, retention, and legal certainty over a quarter requires a different model.

Pricing
Fixed rate, no platform fees
Variable, often hidden
01

Velocity comes from continuity

Long-term engagements

Freelance developers work on a project-to-project basis, making it difficult to build sustained engineering velocity or deep product knowledge. Talmatic’s dedicated developers join your team as long-term members — learning your codebase, your processes, and your product context over time. Team capacity scales up or down based on project requirements, without the instability of a freelance network that may be unavailable when your workload peaks.

02

Vetting is done before you spend a single hour

2–3 qualified profiles in 5d

Finding and evaluating freelancers is time-consuming and unpredictable: you sift through profiles, run your own assessments, and still carry the risk of a poor hire. Talmatic pre-screens every developer through technical assessments, code challenges, and English proficiency checks before you see a single profile — delivering 2–3 qualified candidates within 5 business days. Every engagement also includes a dedicated legal and administrative layer: contracts, payroll, tax compliance, and full IP protection in the developer’s country. Freelancers rarely provide this level of certainty.

03

One contact through the entire hire

4 weeks risk-free trial

When you hire a freelancer, you manage them alone — with no vetting backstop, no replacement guarantee, and no onboarding support. Talmatic provides a dedicated hiring consultant from brief through to onboarding, ongoing retention support for the life of the engagement, and a 4-week risk-free trial with a full money-back guarantee if the placement does not meet expectations. Fixed-rate, transparent pricing means no hidden platform fees or unpredictable billing.
