How is BetterWay different from other nearshore staffing companies in Latin America?

At BetterWay Devs, we proudly partner with companies across diverse industries that align with our ethical values. Through a process known as "ethical exclusion" or "negative screening", we have made a conscious decision not to engage with certain industries. This includes gaming, weapons, tobacco, mining, and adult content industries.

This approach reflects our commitment to responsible business practices and sustainable development. While we welcome collaboration with most businesses, this ethical framework helps us maintain alignment with our core values and corporate responsibility principles.

This policy is part of our broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and ensures that our business decisions consistently reflect our ethical standards.

How much does it cost?

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 fee12.5% 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.

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.

How does your recruitment process work?

At BetterWay Devs, our recruitment process is customized for each client and each role, ensuring you meet developers who are not only technically qualified but also aligned with your company’s culture and communication style.

We start with a prequalification stage, where our team reviews candidates’ skills, experience, and project background to confirm real, verifiable expertise.

We also evaluate English proficiency and cultural alignment, essential for seamless collaboration with North American teams. Depending on your internal process, we can integrate or manage additional client tests or technical challenges, helping you set up a clear and efficient candidate pipeline that fits your hiring workflow.

The result: only the most qualified, pre-vetted candidates reach your shortlist — saving you time while ensuring technical accuracy, communication fluency, and long-term fit.
