Project Overview
AI-Based IT Staff Augmentation Platform is a solution that enables IT service providers to hire qualified professionals, manage project teams, and promptly adapt to changes in demand for labor. The platform has been created for a mid-size IT service provider cooperating with clients from the USA, UK, Australia, Dubai, and other countries.
The customer needed a solution that would help them manage the seasonal dynamics in the number of projects without the need to hire new employees. Therefore, an AI-based solution that would enable efficient matching, searching for talent, flexible hiring, and project management has been created.
This application can help companies hire the right developers considering their qualifications, experience, availability, geography, and budget constraints. Furthermore, the application makes it possible to manage onboarding, resource allocation, time tracking, payments, and project management.

Business Challenges
1. Labor Shortage during Certain Seasons
An increase in demand for projects led the client to add more people to the already existing development team. Adding new members to the development team was very expensive and time-consuming; hence, there was no way to cope with changes effectively.
2. Difficulties in Recruiting Suitable IT Personnel
It was very hard for the client to recruit suitable developers whenever the need arose. This was so because searching and filtering suitable candidates manually was very challenging due to skills, experience, and price mismatch with the budget.
3. Delays in Project Deliveries
The shortage of professionals led to project delivery delays and overburdening of the existing members. The client required an effective process for recruiting suitable personnel to be assigned to various projects.
4. Challenges in Managing Freelancers and Developers
The client had to manage both the freelancers and developers in various projects. There was a need for centralized resource management to be able to balance the workload of the professionals.
5. Project Visibility Issues
There was a need for updates on the status of the project, time spent on it, and efficiency. The use of project management tools such as Jira and Trello became a necessity to ensure that all the processes in the project were visible.
6. Billing and Contract Management Involvement of Human Resources
Billing and contract management separately increased the workload for the administration. It became a necessity for the client to manage all the staffing and billing data.
Our Solutions
To deal with all these issues, we have developed a platform that combines talent acquisition, staffing services, resource planning, and project management in one package. This is because the client needs to get qualified specialists on board easily and to implement flexible staffing models.
As an experienced mobile app development company, ManekTech designed the platform around the client’s workforce management needs. We combined a user-friendly mobile application with web-based management capabilities, allowing users to search for talent on the go and manage projects in greater detail through the website.
AI-Powered Candidate Matching
We used AI-based candidate matching to help businesses find specialists based on their skills, experience, availability, and project needs. This solution allows businesses to stop doing repetitive searches and helps them pick suitable candidates. Our experience in AI application development helped shape a solution focused on relevant talent recommendations and improved staffing workflows.
Flexible Hiring and Onboarding Process
This platform provides the possibility to choose different types of engagement: freelancer, dedicated specialists, hourly, and monthly hires. Companies will be able to select the most suitable hiring model depending on the project length, budget, and load. Moreover, we provided an onboarding process that will make it possible to organize the transition from hiring to assigning projects.
Smart Resource Allocation and Workload Balancing
We developed a solution that makes it possible to assign professionals to projects by considering their skills, availability, and task prioritization. Smart resource allocation and workload balancing provide managers with an opportunity to allocate tasks more efficiently and avoid the overload of their current employees.
Project Tracking and Productivity Control
The platform provides productivity and time control as well as project progress reporting. Integration with Jira and Trello provides managers with the possibility to connect their staffing processes with the project management tools based on the set-up integrations. It gives managers more information about the project status.
Communication and Collaboration
We have integrated messaging and video communications in order to facilitate communication between the clients, managers, and the hired professionals. It will be easier to coordinate work and understand requirements.
Payment and Contract Management
Our solution has payment and invoicing processes that give users the ability to manage the billing details regarding the staffing process. The payment methods can vary, including Stripe, PayPal, and bank transfers based on the set-up integrations. Also, digital signatures for NDAs and contracts will simplify the process.
