What is outstaffing
Staff augmentation: your team, extended without the hiring headaches.
Outstaffing (also called staff augmentation or staff leasing) means you work with dedicated developers who are officially employed by Dataforge in Moldova but fully embedded in your team. They join your meetings, use your tools and report directly to you.

Why Moldova
Technical talent close to you, at reasonable cost
Moldova has a growing IT community, with specialists trained at international companies and used to working with clients in Europe and the US.
Convenient time zone
Moldova (GMT+2/+3) shares Romania's time zone and is one hour ahead of Central Europe. Working days overlap almost completely.
Languages
Developers work in English every day; many also speak Romanian and Russian, which helps on regional projects.
Competitive rates
Rates sit below Western Europe for specialists with real experience on international products.
IT-friendly environment
Moldovan IT companies can operate under the Moldova IT Park tax regime, which simplifies administration and employment costs.
Benefits
Why companies choose outstaffing
Full control
You lead the team
Developers take tasks directly from you and follow your processes, not a vendor's.
Lower costs
No hidden costs
No recruiting fees, office rent or benefits administration. You pay one monthly fee per specialist.
Fast scaling
Grow the team when you need to
Add or remove specialists month to month, without long hiring or offboarding processes.
Rare skills
Access to experts
We find profiles that are hard to hire locally: DevOps, mobile, data, AI/ML or legacy technologies.
Zero HR
We handle employment
Contracts, salaries, taxes, leave and equipment are our responsibility.
Dedication
People who stay
Each specialist works only on your project and builds product knowledge over time.

FAQ
Outstaffing FAQ: what clients ask us
What's the difference between outstaffing and outsourcing?
With outstaffing, you lead the developers and own the outcome. With outsourcing, the vendor takes over the project and delivers an agreed result.
Who manages the developers day to day?
You do. They work in your team, with your tools and processes. We take care of administration and HR.
How long until they start?
For common technologies, usually a few days to a few weeks. Rare or very senior roles can take longer.
How is pricing set?
You pay a monthly fee per specialist, based on seniority and technology. No recruiting fee.
What happens if a specialist leaves?
We find a replacement as quickly as possible and handle the handover so work doesn't stop.
