Full Scale Verified Company

Full Scale is a staff augmentation company that helps growing tech companies build and scale software engineering teams with vetted developers based in the Philippines. Founded in 2018 by serial tech entrepreneur Matt Watson, Full Scale was built to solve a problem its founders had themselves: finding senior engineering talent fast, without the cost and hiring timelines of the US market.

Unlike traditional outsourcing, Full Scale's model is staff augmentation, not project handoff. Full Scale developers integrate directly into a client's existing team, work in their codebase, follow their process, and report into their roadmap, alongside in-house staff rather than separate from them.

The company recruits, employs, and manages full-time developers, designers, and QA engineers across the Philippines, with a physical office in Cebu City in addition to its Kansas headquarters. Full Scale has grown to 300+ engineers on staff and has served 200+ companies since founding, with 80+ active clients today.

Services:

• Staff augmentation / dedicated developers across major stacks, including .NET, Java, PHP, Python, Node.js, React, Vue, and mobile

• QA and software testing, embedded with the client's team

• UI/UX design support for product teams

• Team scaling for startups and growth-stage companies that need engineering capacity fast

Clients typically add developers in as little as 7 days, with full onboarding running about two weeks. Full Scale backs engagements with a two-week money-back guarantee, and no long-term contracts after that: clients can cancel with 30 days' notice.

Pricing starts at $35/hr fully loaded (recruiting, employment, benefits, management, overhead included), depending on seniority and specialty. Clients typically save 50-70% versus domestic US hiring, while retaining 93%+ of placed engineers long-term.

Full Scale focuses exclusively on the Philippines rather than spreading across offshore markets, drawing on English fluency, workable US time-zone overlap, and a strong, growing engineering talent pool. The company has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies for five consecutive years, with clients including AMC Theatres and SOTA Cloud.
