When you Hire Power Platform developer talent via internal recruitment you pay not only salary but also taxes, benefits, equipment, recruiter fees, and 6–10 weeks of vacancy cost. Outstaffing through Smartbrain.io converts these hidden charges into a single transparent hourly rate that includes payroll, hardware, and even continuous training. Companies report savings of 30 %–50 % versus traditional hiring while still retaining full day-to-day control of the developer’s backlog. Add the opportunity cost of project delays and the financial argument becomes decisive.

Every Power Platform engineer signs a strict NDA plus assignment-of-rights agreement before onboarding. Smartbrain.io provisions secure Office 365 tenants, enforces MFA, and supports VPN or Azure Conditional Access. Source code resides in your own repositories, never ours. Audit logs and SOC 2 documentation are available on request, giving you the same or higher IP protection than direct employees.

Yes. We maintain a global bench so you can choose full overlap, partial overlap, or follow-the-sun coverage. For North-American clients we supply near-shore or US-based Power Platform experts; for EMEA we align Central European hours. Flexibility is baked into the contract, allowing schedule changes as the project evolves.

Smartbrain.io offers a no-risk replacement guarantee. If performance falls below agreed KPIs within the first two weeks we replace the talent free of charge, usually within 48 hours. Continuous account management, weekly check-ins, and optional code reviews ensure issues are addressed long before they impact delivery.

Our median lead time is 48 hours from final brief to kickoff. Because the bench is pre-vetted—Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI tests completed—we skip the lengthy CV shuffle. NDAs and MSA templates are ready to sign electronically, meaning your new developer can join the next sprint planning session.

Choose month-to-month or multi-month retainers. Minimum commitment is 80 billable hours per month, but you can scale up or down with seven days’ notice. There are no recruitment fees, and you pay only for logged, approved hours—ideal for variable backlog or seasonal demand.

We run multi-stage screening: English and soft-skill interview, timed Power Apps/Power Automate coding challenge, architecture review, background check, and cultural fit assessment by a former Microsoft MVP. Only the top 3 % make the bench. Profiles you receive already include live solution demos and reference checks, saving you dozens of hours.
