Frequently asked questions

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.

‍

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.

‍

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.

‍

We use transparent, all-in pricing — no hidden markups, no ambiguous rate cards. We share the developer's salary expectation openly, and our fee structure is discussed clearly on the first call. There's no placement fee for our staffing model.

Our staffing model runs on an 18% monthly service fee (minimum $400), covering everything from payroll and HR management to benefit administration and ongoing support.

For one-time placements, we charge a success-based fee — 12.5% of the annual salary with a 60-day guarantee, or 15% with a 90-day guarantee, both covering any reason for replacement.

There are no hidden or extra costs associated with this service.

‍

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 developers hired through our staffing services:
*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

For developers hired through direct hiring, the benefits depend on the company policies and are defined for each role.
