People ask me what is the difference between and ๐ค
When expanding or augmenting your team, it is important to choose the right model, depending on on your particular needs and preferences. I would like to summarize the key difference between the two main ways to go about it, in hope you will find this illuminating ๐ก
In very broad terms, Outsourcing involves hiring an external company to handle an entire project or function, while outstaffing means hiring external personnel to work directly under your management as part of your team.
More extensively:

๐ Outstaffing: You retain full control over the team's tasks, priorities, and workflows. It's like having an extended in-house team.
๐ Outsourcing: The external company manages the project and its ex*****on. You focus on the final deliverables.
