Staff and Team Augmentation

Since 1997, Unison Systems’ seasoned team of staffing professionals has been partnering with business customers to provide experienced consultants to internal IT project teams and key client initiatives. Unison consultants fill specific skill and knowledge gaps in a project team, while allowing the client to maintain full control of their project.

Unison consultants offer clients many near-term advantages over full-time employees, namely:

  • The ability to hit the ground running with both industry and technical expertise related to the client’s business and specific projects.
  • The opportunity for a client to outsource overall and day-to-day HR functions, deferring related labor costs and liabilities.
  • The value of adding proven experience for a specific time period, creating budget flexibility and optimal use of a resource.

In many cases, Unison Systems works with the client to construct contract-to-hire scenarios, enabling the client to hire a consultant full-time once the initial contract period has expired. The benefit of this type of hire is that the client receives the long-term value of an employee who is already a proven entity. In addition, it can reduce recruiting expenses and a lengthy interview process, and can offset such hiring risk factors as lost time and cost of an errant hiring decision.
