Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you start?
We can usually share consultant profiles the same day we first speak with you. Most consultants start 2 to 4 weeks after that first conversation, and our fastest start so far was 2 business days. We can move at your pace. More answers in our FAQ.
Can a project or program manager join an initiative that is already under way?
Yes. A consultant can step in when a project lead leaves or a program needs more senior oversight, and our consultants are experienced at getting up to speed quickly on scope, status and stakeholders.
How is pricing set?
Each consultant sets their own hourly rate and Augment adds a transparent margin. We aim to keep our gross margin at about 20%, well below traditional consultancies. You see each consultant’s billable rate on their resume before you interview.
