Why we’re different

The three reasons remote engineering hires fail — and how we built around them.

The challenge

Most vendors send you résumés. We send you engineers.

We don't just match on skills. We look at communication style, team compatibility, work approach, and the success factors you define for the role;  helping you hire people who will thrive, not just qualify.

The challenge

Knowing where to look, and what to pay

Most recruiters search. We advise. Operating across Latin America since 2009, with 10K+ professionals in our applicant database, we help you understand talent availability, compensation expectations, and the fastest path to a successful hire. AI-augmented, human-driven.

The challenge

Hidden fees and high turnover

Many staffing models optimize for placement. We optimize for retention. Transparent pricing, local benefits, and dedicated support that helps developers build long-term careers with your team.

The foundation behind every search

A network aligned to your working hours.

Our talent spans Latin America — a region with strong engineering culture, US-aligned time zones, and the professional depth to support long-term remote collaboration.

The Process

01

Tell us what you need

A 30-minute conversation about your stack, team culture, experience level, and timeline. We listen before we search.

We recruit and present

03

You interview and decide

We coordinate the process and handle all candidate communication — but the interviews are yours to run. This is where your team validates technical fit firsthand and decides who's the right match for your needs, on your timeline.

What clients say

Heard from the teams that have been here.

Independent reviews verified by Clutch

From the developers themselves

The people behind the work.

Local benefits from day one

Health insurance, life insurance, PTO, and occupational health — locally administered, adapted to each country.

Compensation they can trust

Salary discussed openly from the first conversation — in USD, fully structured, no ambiguity down the line.

Ongoing engagement

Regular HR check-ins, Engineer Day, birthday recognition, knowledge-sharing sessions. Our team stays involved throughout.

Pricing

Transparent, straightforward pricing.

No hidden markups. You see exactly what a developer earns and exactly what you pay us — before you sign anything.

Long-Term IT Staffing

Ongoing engagement, fully managed

18%monthly service fee

Minimum $400, calculated on the developer's salary only.

What's included
  • Payroll and local HR administration
  • Benefits enrollment and management
  • Ongoing HR check-ins and support
  • No placement fee upfront

Benefits are administered through local, country-specific carriers — as a reference, private health insurance runs roughly $95/month per family member and private life insurance about $100/month, both averages that vary by country. Billed separately, not part of the salary base used to calculate the 18% service fee.

IT Recruiting (Direct Placement)

One-time, success-based fee

12.5%
of annual salary
60-day guarantee
minimum $1,700
15%
of annual salary
90-day guarantee
minimum $2,000
What's included
  • Full recruiting cycle and candidate sourcing
  • Either guarantee covers replacement, for any reason, within the window
  • No ongoing management fee after placement

Fee is billed once, at placement. It's calculated on the developer's annual salary and is separate from any compensation you pay the developer directly.

Budgeting for a role?

Plan $4,000–$7,500 USD/month for the developer's salary alone — that's typical for bilingual Semi-senior to Senior engineers in Latin America. For Long-Term IT Staffing, add our service fee and benefits on top of that base salary.

Two things. First, we come from software development — from 2009 to 2021 we built distributed engineering teams across Latin America for US clients, so we evaluate developers the way a senior engineer would, not just a recruiter. Second, we run a data-driven recruitment process with measurable KPIs at every stage, so you can see how we perform rather than just take our word for it. For our staffing model, we also maintain an active HR relationship with every developer we place — local benefits, check-ins, and engagement programs — which keeps attrition low and team stability high.
*Staffing model: 18% monthly service fee (minimum $400) — covers payroll, HR management, benefits administration, and ongoing support. *Direct placements: success-based fee — 12.5% of annual salary with a 60-day guarantee, or 15% with a 90-day guarantee (either covers replacement for any reason). *No hidden or extra costs beyond what's listed above.
We recruit across all of Latin America, with talent concentrated in countries like Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina — all within time zones that overlap with US working hours.
Engineering is where we focus, but our sourcing network across Latin America covers the broader knowledge industry. We regularly place sales, marketing, accounting, and commercial roles for companies that hold the same bar for talent quality. If you're looking for something outside tech, reach out and we'll tell you if we're the right fit.
For our staffing model, engineers work full-time, dedicated exclusively to your team. For direct recruiting engagements, we can accommodate whatever structure you're hiring for.
Our recruitment process is customized for each client and each role, ensuring you meet candidates who are aligned with your requirements, your team culture, and your working style. We start with a discovery call to understand your stack, experience level, and success criteria. From there, our team reviews profiles from our 10K+ applicant database and broader sourcing reach, matching against the specific requirements you've defined. We use AI-augmented tools to support the matching process, with our recruiters making the final selection judgment. Every candidate goes through an English proficiency review and a live video screening — both to assess communication and to verify the person is who they say they are. We also ask role-specific follow-up questions to sharpen the fit before presenting. Profiles are delivered within 5 to 10 days, with evaluation notes, salary expectations, and our recommendation included. Technical validation is conducted by your team during the interview — we make sure the candidates who reach that stage are worth your time.
Budget $4,000–$7,500 USD/month for the developer's salary for bilingual Semi-senior and Senior roles in Latin America. For our staffing model, add the 18% monthly service fee on top of that to get your total cost.
We typically present candidates who have passed our technical and English assessments within 5 to 10 days of our intro call. In some cases, faster — depending on the role and your requirements.
For our staffing model, engineers work fully remote. For our IT Recruiting service, we can recruit for remote or on-site roles depending on your needs.
*15 business days of paid vacation per year *Life insurance, with additional medical incapacity coverage *Private health insurance — administered through local, country-specific carriers, with coverage levels that vary by country *Occupational health support, managed directly by BetterWay
