FAQ

What is the true cost to hire Test Automation developers through smartbrain.io versus in-house recruiting?

Total cost of ownership is often over 50 % lower when you Hire Test Automation developer talent via staff augmentation. Internal hiring incurs job-board fees, recruiter salaries, long notice periods, payroll taxes, benefits, hardware, and retention bonuses. Smartbrain.io charges a single predictable hourly rate that already bundles sourcing, vetting, HR administration, and replacement guarantee. You pay only for productive engineering hours, no idle bench or overhead. Because our pipeline is pre-vetted, time-to-value shrinks from months to days, slicing opportunity cost as well. Companies typically redirect saved capital into product innovation rather than recruitment logistics.

How does smartbrain.io protect IP and sensitive data when we work with outstaffed Test Automation engineers?

Every engineer signs a strict NDA directly with your company in addition to our master service agreement. Access is provisioned through your VPN and repositories, ensuring code never leaves your controlled environment. smartbrain.io performs background checks, maintains ISO-27001-aligned processes, and supports SOC-2 Type II audits. Our dedicated security team regularly reviews endpoint compliance, enforces MFA, and can create segregated VPCs for highly regulated workloads. You retain 100 % ownership of all deliverables, and contracts explicitly assign IP to your organisation. In six years of operation we have had zero IP-related disputes.

We are US-based. How do you handle time-zone overlap with offshore Test Automation talent?

Smartbrain.io sources from multiple regions to guarantee at least four hours of real-time overlap with your core working day. Engineers adopt your sprint rituals—stand-ups, retros, demo days—so collaboration feels in-house. For fully asynchronous hand-offs, we set up detailed checklists, Loom walk-throughs, and CI pipelines that surface defects instantly. Clients routinely find that having partial follow-the-sun coverage accelerates bug-fixes and dramatically cuts cycle time.

What contract terms and notice periods do you offer for Test Automation staff augmentation?

Our standard agreement runs month-to-month with only a 14-day notice period, giving you the agility to scale up or down as product priorities evolve. Need a fixed-price deliverable or full-time conversion? Both models are available. The contract is compliant with US, UK, and EU labour laws and contains a no-poach clause to protect both parties. Pricing is transparent—no hidden platform or withdrawal fees. Many clients start with a one-month pilot and then extend to multi-year engagements once value is proven.

How rigorous is your candidate-vetting process for Test Automation roles?

Each candidate completes a four-stage process: (1) English and soft-skills screening, (2) live coding on Selenium or Playwright, (3) architecture interview covering CI/CD, API mocking, and flaky-test mitigation, and (4) real-life project simulation reviewed by a principal SDET. Less than 3 % pass. Detailed scorecards and recorded sessions are shared, so you make a fully informed hiring decision. This depth of assessment typically takes in-house recruiters weeks; smartbrain.io delivers it on tap.

What happens if an engineer is not a fit after onboarding?

Our replacement guarantee kicks in immediately. Notify us within the first 14 days and we swap the engineer at no extra cost, usually in under 72 hours. Meanwhile, knowledge-transfer documents prepared during onboarding speed up transition. Because you Hire Test Automation developer talent in a flexible model, there’s no sunk cost of severance, visas, or equipment write-offs.

How quickly can we start once we sign the MSA?

Most clients interview pre-selected candidates within 48 hours and approve a hire within three business days. On rare occasions when niche domain expertise is required, we may extend sourcing to one week to maintain quality. Our onboarding playbook covers environment setup, access provisioning, and sprint integration, allowing the engineer to make their first pull request within the first week. Faster starts mean faster defect detection and more confident releases.
