Pre-hiring logistics, hiring, and onboarding

Our staff augmentation process is built for alignment right from the start. Before we dive into hiring, we start with a consultation to align on logistics, compliance, and expectations. Here’s how we handle pre-hiring, hiring, and onboarding. 

Pre-hiring logistics

Depending on how we connected, through referrals, RFPs, or outreach, our first step is a consultation.

Initial contact & requirement clarification

In our initial discussion, we’ll:

• Understand your tech stack, project complexity and the specific WordPress expertise needed.
• Define the project scope and timeline (short-term or long-term engagement).
• Determine the collaboration model (full-time, part-time, surge staffing, etc.).

The insights we learn here help us match you with the right talent.

NDA & compliance setup

We prioritize security, confidentiality, and compliance. If needed, we sign an NDA upfront to ensure your project details remain secure. For enterprise clients with vendor onboarding requirements, we align with your procurement and legal processes. We bring extensive experience working with client teams in various capacities. We’re open to being empanelled on your preferred vendor panel or collaborating through a pass-through agency, depending on your preferred way of working.

Contract & engagement model

Once we finalize the engagement scope, we discuss and set up:

• The right pricing model (billing frequency, advance booking at refined rates, hourly/fixed pricing)
• Engagement terms (duration, team structure, reporting cadence)
• Any specific security or compliance requirements

With all logistics in place, we provide resources that match the specific expertise you’re seeking, allowing you to move directly to the interview and selection process.

For custom requirements, if we don’t have any resources already trained in the necessary skills, we will arrange training to equip them. Once trained, they will be available for your interview and selection process.

How hiring rtCamp resources for your project works

Here’s what to expect:

1. Tell us what you need – Share your resourcing needs via Slack, email, or a quick call. We’ll review your requirements and match you with the right talent.
2. Meet your developers – We shortlist engineers based on your needs (within a week and sometimes even sooner).
3. You interview the shortlisted candidates – You interview and select the best fit for your team.

Once confirmed, your new developer(s) join your team, ready to work within your development stack and processes. 

With our enterprise-ready WordPress engineers, you avoid the hassle of long hiring cycles and skill mismatches.

How onboarding works

The dedicated WordPress developers you hire via our staff augmentation services are ready to contribute to your team right away. Our streamlined onboarding process ensures they assimilate seamlessly into your team with minimal effort on your end.

Here’s what to expect:

What you need to provide 

To ensure a smooth transition, here’s what you need to prepare

• Access to tools and environments – Credentials for project management tools, repositories, and relevant documentation.
• A single point of contact (SPOC) – A designated team member for onboarding and technical alignment.
• Team guidelines and workflows – Any internal best practices or documentation to help our engineers adapt quickly.

Things we take care of

Here are the things we cover.

• Hardware, software, and environments – Our developers come equipped with high-performance MacBooks (capable of handling all development work efficiently.) We also ensure the necessary software solutions are in place. For environments requiring restricted access (such as Kinsta environments with whitelisted VPN IPs), we can configure a dedicated VPN setup tailored to your project.
• Compliance and HR management – We handle background checks, statutory insurance cover, and administrative overhead (including performance tracking).
• Backup resources – If an engineer is unavailable or underperforms, we provide seamless replacements to avoid disruptions. We can also accommodate surge staffing to tackle unpredictable volumes.

With our structured onboarding process, your augmented developers integrate quickly, reducing ramp-up time and ensuring they start contributing from day one.
