Adding people from a provider to your own team for a period, to work under your direction on your tasks. The provider employs them; you manage the work. In outsourcing, by contrast, a vendor takes over a project and runs it its own way. - ### How much does staff augmentation in Egypt cost? At GrowAxis’s 2026 rates, a mid-level software engineer costs about $2,500 a month, a mid-level QA engineer about $2,100 and a DevOps engineer about $2,720, all in: pay, social insurance, equipment and management. When you compare providers, check what each price includes: many add their fee on top of the salary. - ### Can we interview the candidates? Yes. GrowAxis shortlists people against your profile, and you interview them and choose. Nobody joins your team without your agreement. - ### Is staff augmentation the same as an employer of record? No. With an employer of record, you find the person and the EOR only employs them. With staff augmentation from GrowAxis, GrowAxis also finds candidates with you, equips the people and reviews their performance with you. - ### Will they work our hours? Cairo is one hour ahead of Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels and two hours ahead of London for most of the year, seven hours ahead of New York, and one hour behind Riyadh in winter (the same time in summer). Egypt uses summer time from the last Friday of April to the last Thursday of October. Most of the working day overlaps with Europe and the Gulf. - ### Do we need a company in Egypt? No. GrowAxis is the employer in Egypt, so you don’t need an entity, a local bank account or a payroll provider there. - ### What is the hourly rate for staff augmentation in Egypt? Agencies listed on Clutch quote from under $25 to $99 an hour. GrowAxis prices per person per month: a mid-level software engineer costs from about $2,500 a month, all in. - ### Is there a trial period? Egyptian law allows probation of up to three months, once with the same employer. You also interview and choose every candidate before they join. - ### How quickly can we scale the team down? Employees on open-ended contracts in Egypt are owed three months’ written notice, which cannot be shortened. Agree the notice terms for each person in your contract with the provider. ## Find out which people to add to your team first. 30 minutes.
