How it works

Engineers who fit into your team

Your tools, your process

They work in your repositories, task boards and chat, and follow your sprints.

Overlapping hours

Working hours that overlap the UK, Europe and the Middle East, and partly the US.

Reviewed work

Code review and QA before releases, the same standard we hold on our own projects.

NDA on request

We sign an NDA before you share any code or project details.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what clients ask before adding engineers to their team.

What is the difference between staff augmentation and outsourcing?

With staff augmentation, our engineers join your team and work under your direction, in your tools and process. With outsourcing, you hand us a whole project and we manage delivery. We offer both.

Which roles can you provide?

Web and backend developers, mobile developers, QA engineers, project managers and DevOps engineers, on their own or as one dedicated team.

Can I hire part-time or by the hour?

Yes. Engineers are available full-time, part-time or hourly, and you can also hire a dedicated team.

How quickly can an engineer start?

It depends on the skills you need. After a short call we put forward engineers who fit your product and agree a start date with you.

What if an engineer isn't the right fit?

We replace them at no extra cost.

Which time zones do you cover?

Our working hours overlap the UK, Europe and the Middle East, and partly the US, so there is time every day for calls and reviews.

How much does staff augmentation cost?

It depends on the roles, experience level and engagement model. After a short call we give you a written price, agreed before anyone starts.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. We are happy to sign an NDA before you share any project details.

John W.
CEO
"Xelent has always doing incredible work for us, at a reasonable rate! We are most impressed with the communication and understanding of updates/changes that need to be done. We are a US based company, and have tried other developers overseas, but none of them have performed as well as Xelent. Working with Bilal is a pleasure, and we will continue to send website development projects their way. I'd recommend you have them bid your next project!"
