Flexible white label
IT staff augmentation

It means Studio Ubique supplies engineers, designers, or specialists who work as part of your team, under your brand, with your client never needing to know a separate company is involved. You hold the client relationship, the contract, the roadmap, and the pricing. Studio Ubique supplies vetted people and handles their contracts, payroll, and HR in the background. The augmented team members join your standups, use your tools (Slack, Jira, Git, your CI/CD), commit to your repositories, and are introduced to your client as your team if that is how you want to present it. This is different from subcontracting a whole project out, where another company owns the delivery. With staff augmentation, you stay in control of the work and the client, you are adding capacity and specific skills to a team you still run. It is the model agencies use when they have more work than people, or a skills gap (DevOps, AI, integrations) they cannot fill fast enough by hiring.

Standard rates are €60 to €65 per hour, covering frontend, backend, full-stack development, DevOps, QA, data, AI, and integration work. For long-term or dedicated roles, where someone is committed to your team on an ongoing basis, the rate stays €60 to €65 per hour. You pay only for hours worked. There is no recruitment cost, no salary, no employer taxes, no benefits, no holiday pay, no sick leave, no hardware, and no severance when a project ends. That is the real cost advantage of staff augmentation over hiring: not a headline percentage, but the removal of every fixed cost that comes with a permanent employee. Billing is monthly in advance for the agreed hours. We track the hours actually worked and settle any difference on the next invoice, so you always see what was delivered against what was billed. Because you set the pricing for your own client, the margin between your client rate and our rate is yours. Our pricing page covers the broader rate structure.

The shortlist is fast, the vetting is not skipped. After a discovery call to map the skills and seniority you need, you receive 2 to 3 matched profiles per role within 5 to 10 working days. Every candidate has already passed coding tests, live technical interviews, and reference checks before you see them, so the profiles you review are people Studio Ubique would put on its own projects. You then interview them yourself, the final pick is always yours. From your decision to the person being productive: onboarding into your tools and codebase takes 5 to 10 working days, after which they’re committing code or delivering design work as part of your team. The honest part: a single specialist role moves fast, building a multi-person team is slightly slower because matching several people to your stack and culture takes more rounds. The standard lead time is 2 to 3 weeks. For niche roles, the total can be 4 to 6 weeks.

That is entirely your call. The white-label model is built so the augmented team works under your brand: your email domain if you want it, your project tools, your client communication channels, introduced to the client however you choose to introduce them. Many agencies present augmented team members as their own team, which is the standard white-label arrangement and completely normal. Other agencies are open with their clients that they work with a delivery partner, and that works too. Studio Ubique does not contact your client, does not market to your client, and does not appear in client-facing communication unless you want it to. The note on the Studio Ubique site, “we are not for sale, only for hire”, applies here too: Studio Ubique is a delivery partner, not a competitor trying to win your client. The relationship only works if the partner stays in the background, and that is the arrangement.

Yes, that flexibility is the main reason agencies use staff augmentation instead of hiring. When you win a big project or hit a release crunch, you can add roles within weeks rather than running a multi-month hiring process. When a project winds down, you reduce capacity without redundancy costs, severance, or the difficult conversations that come with letting permanent staff go. There are practical limits worth being honest about: scaling up still depends on the right people being available, and a niche senior specialist takes longer to source than a mid-level frontend developer. The fixed points: at least 10 hours a week per specialist, up to full-time. The first month is a trial, then there’s a three-month minimum, and after that one month’s notice. But compared to the rigidity of a permanent payroll, the model lets an agency match its team size to its actual pipeline, which is hard to do any other way.

The core is software and web development: frontend engineers (React, Vue, Svelte), backend engineers (Node.js, Python, Laravel, PHP), and full-stack developers. Beyond that: DevOps engineers (CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, deployment), QA engineers (manual and automated testing), data specialists, AI and integration engineers, plus UX and UI designers. The team works across the stack Studio Ubique uses on its own projects, so the augmented people are not generalists stretched thin, they are specialists in the tools your project actually runs on. For a white-label engagement, the discovery call maps exactly which roles and seniority levels you need, and the suggested setup usually combines a few core roles with augmented specialists rather than replacing your whole team. If a request needs a skill outside the usual range, Studio Ubique will say so honestly rather than putting forward a weak match. Studio Ubique also runs custom software and web application projects directly, if at some point a full project delivery fits better than augmentation.
