Can you explain the concept of outstaffing and how it is applied in the IT industry?

Outstaffing is a hiring model where a company attracts external specialists or entire teams, who are formally listed on the staff of another organization (the outstaffer), but work on the client's projects.

In the IT industry, outstaffing is used for:

• Rapid team expansion without long-term commitments.
• Acquiring specialists with the necessary skills for a limited period.
• Reducing costs for recruitment and personnel management.

Example: a development company hires several developers through an outstaffing firm to work on a project, while legally they are listed as employees of the outstaffer, but technically they work in the client's team.
