ELASTIC WORKFORCE®
Grow and shrink your engineering workforce instantly, on demand, without any recruiting costs or long lead times.
Recruiting, screening, interviewing, onboarding, training and retaining engineering talent can take over four months and cost over $65,000 per engineer.
Software engineers in the US stay with an employer on average less than two years.
With Elastic Workforce® by INNOVANT, you can grow and shrink your engineering workforce instantly, on demand, without any recruiting costs or long lead times.
The right talent, in the right place, at the right time, is the equation for success in today’s world.
A few leading companies are rethinking their entire approach to finding and using talent. They are embracing more flexible, blended workforce models, where they can expand or contract their access to specialized, highly skilled workers, as and when needed.
These companies have learned from their early pilots and are now moving to the next level: adopting a strategic approach to an on-demand workforce, one that eventually has the potential of even transforming their business models.

On-Demand Services
Elastic Workforce®
Pay for the skills you want, when you need them (and not when you don’t).
Over the past ten years, software, infrastructure, storage and even core company functions like finance and HR have moved “into the cloud” where you can now access them “as a service,” instantly whenever you need it, paying only for what you use.

We have an experienced team of software and hardware engineers, UX/UI designers, web and mobile developers, scrum masters, DevOps, QA engineers, machine learning and artificial intelligence experts and university professors who are at your disposal on an hourly, daily or monthly basis, with no minimum commitment and no ramp-up time.
Each of our team members has at minimum a four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in areas including engineering, design, communications and management..
