Hire dedicated developers and IT resources, vetted and working with you in days.
Developers, designers, QA, DevOps, data and marketing specialists on contract, based in India or in a time zone closer to yours. Add one person to your team or take a dedicated team of your own; we handle contracts, payroll, equipment and compliance.
Who it’s for, and how it works.
For companies that need people faster than they can hire them: a startup adding its first backend developer, a product team that needs a QA or DevOps engineer for a release, or an enterprise staffing a whole project. As an IT staffing company in Gurugram, we work as a hiring partner for clients across Delhi NCR, the rest of India and abroad; Effred works with clients in 14 countries. Take one person through IT resource augmentation, contract resources for a single project, a dedicated team, or contract-to-hire.
It starts with a 30-minute call on skills, seniority, budget and time zone. Within about three working days you get three to five vetted profiles with test results; you interview them, and the person you choose usually starts within one to two weeks. They join your stand-ups, tools and sprints at a fixed monthly rate with no placement fee, while we handle contracts, salaries, PF, insurance, equipment and statutory filings, and send one monthly invoice in INR, USD, AED, GBP or EUR.
If you are choosing a vendor for IT resources, ask each one the same questions: how they vet people, who pays salaries and statutory dues, who owns the work, what happens when someone is not a fit, and how they bill. Our answers are in the questions further down this page.

Questions about IT staffing and hiring through us
A hiring partner. With staff augmentation the people we provide work inside your team while we handle their contracts, salaries, PF, insurance and equipment, and we bill a fixed monthly rate with no placement fee. If you want someone on your own payroll, contract-to-hire lets you work together first and move them across on terms agreed upfront.
Usually a shortlist within three working days and a start date within one to two weeks, depending on seniority and notice periods.
Yes. Staff augmentation gives you one or more developers, testers, DevOps or data engineers on a monthly contract for as long as the project needs them, starting from one person. For a larger piece of work, a dedicated team of engineers, QA and a lead (from three people, usually quarterly) works only on your product.
Before you see anyone: a technical test, live coding or a portfolio review depending on the role, plus reference checks. You get three to five profiles with their test results, and you interview the shortlist yourself before anyone starts.
A fixed monthly rate per person, based on role and seniority. No placement fee for staff augmentation. Ask us for a rate card.
Yes. We work with clients in 14 countries. Our people are mostly in India, and their working day overlaps with yours by about 7.5 hours in Dubai, 6.5 in Nairobi and 3.5 to 4.5 in London, depending on the season. A standard India day does not overlap with New York, so for US clients we shift hours: a 2 pm to 11 pm India day gives 3.5 to 4.5 hours with New York. We invoice in INR, USD, AED, GBP or EUR.
