Team Augmentation FAQs
What is team augmentation, and how does Tribes support it?

Team augmentation means seamlessly integrating vetted external developers into your internal team. Tribes connects you with top global talent vetted through our proprietary DevCheck engine, allowing you to scale efficiently without worry.

What kind of developers can I hire through Tribes?

We support all technologies from Angular, .NET, and DynamoDB to ArangoDB, Assembly, and beyond. Whether you need frontend specialists or backend experts, our Tribe speaks every language.

How fast can we get started?

You can move from first contact to developer onboarding in days, not weeks. After you share your needs, we shortlist vetted candidates, and you can optionally meet them before beginning on flexible terms.

What’s different about your vetting process?

Unlike marketplaces that rely on self-reporting or reviews, Tribes uses DevCheck, our proprietary assessment engine that evaluates technical skills, communication, and performance fit.

How do your costs compare to hiring in-house?

Tribes typically offers 30% to 50%+ cost savings over hiring full-time in-house developers, with no compromise on quality.

Are the developers freelance or full-time?

Our developers are available for flexible, full-time commitments. You can scale up or down as your project needs change.

Will I have control over the developer’s work?

Yes. Our developers integrate directly into your team and workflows. You maintain oversight, set the priorities, and own the roadmap.

Do you handle time tracking and reporting?

Absolutely. We provide clear, transparent reporting and time tracking, so you always know where time is spent and what’s being delivered.

What if I need to switch developers mid-project?

We offer flexible engagement terms. If you’re not satisfied or your needs change, we’ll find a better fit quickly, no downtime or hassle.

What’s the difference between Tribes and platforms like Upwork or Toptal?

Tribes goes beyond just connecting you with freelancers and talent. We offer a fully vetted, ethical developer network with transparent pricing, managed onboarding, project-aligned matching, and a human-first experience built for speed and scale.

That unicorn developer?
You just
found them.

With Tribes, you gain a strategic ally dedicated to your project's success.
