Konstantin Price sees a direct correlation between the complexity of the project and the period of engagement of an external specialist, although he also observes a tendency towards increasing the terms: "If we are talking about large businesses and complex projects that require long-term immersion, specialists are engaged for a long period - at least a year. To reduce financial risks, companies offer cooperation in short iterations - three to six months, with subsequent extension of the contract, while the composition of the teams remains the same. For medium and small businesses, the term of engagement has always been from three to six months to a year only to close some difficulty in hiring a full-time employee or to strengthen the closing of urgent tasks and projects."
infrastructure or ensure its france whatsapp number database security, which can last indefinitely. At the same time, according to him, many tasks require relatively short-term involvement of external personnel.
At the same time, as it turned out, outstaffing turned out to be relatively unpopular in the information security sphere. Thus, the press service of PJSC Positive Technologies Group reported in November 2023 that this company does not resort to outsourcing at all, including such a form as outstaffing.
"We practically do not use outstaffing services, as we have a stable development team for our needs. Moreover, due to the complex subject area of the company, attracting temporary personnel is not particularly effective. Based on our experience, we can advise companies that often resort to outstaffing services to focus not only on security issues related to such attraction of personnel, but also not to ignore the stages of interviewing, adaptation and setting up interaction with the team, so that it does not perceive the temporary employee as an "outsider", but is ready for the same adaptation process as with any other newcomer to the company," says Ekaterina Petrova, Head of HR at the ARGUS Scientific and Technical Center.
According to Roman Smirnov, this situation is justified from a business point of view: "The main market demands are competencies in import substitution of outdated software and migration to domestic software. Businesses build processes, integrate systems and new software into infrastructure, often complex and massive, as, for example, in banking organizations, where projects cover several divisions, including across the entire country. Therefore, to implement them, businesses want to concentrate knowledge, skills and data within the corporate framework."
Sergey Galeev is somewhat more optimistic: "At the moment, the situation with the use of outstaffing by information security companies remains quite complicated. This is due to the fact that they prefer to keep development in-house, based on the belief that this provides greater control over security processes. But there are still exceptions, and they are forced to turn to outstaffing due to a shortage of qualified specialists. The situation is changing, but more slowly than we would like."
"The redistribution of available IT personnel between companies and projects continues to gain momentum. Now, in the conditions of a shortage of IT resources, more and more companies are starting to rent IT specialists. Last year, we had several clients who tried this type of cooperation for the first time," Polina Belyatskaya concludes from statistics collected by SkillStaff based on the results of 2023.
