Straight answers on placement, process, and what happens once you're matched with a team.

questions answered
1
What countries do you work with?
We recruit developers across all of Latin America. What matters most isn't the country — it's time zone compatibility with North America, so you can work real-time hours alongside the client's team.
2
What does the application process look like?
Apply with your stack and experience. If there's a fit with an open role, we'll ask for more details to complete your profile, then set up a video interview to go deeper on your background. If the client's interested, you'll move into their own interview process, which varies by company. Whatever the outcome, you'll get real feedback from us — never silence.

What kind of contract will I have?
If you're placed through BetterWay Staffing, you're engaged under what we call Contractor Plus: the flexibility of a contractor engagement, plus paid time off, life and health insurance, and — for developers based in Colombia — personal CPA and fiscal advice to help manage your local tax obligations. Your salary is paid directly from our US entity in USD, which makes this option especially well-suited if you're a digital nomad or simply prefer contractor status. Even though you're paid into a US account, you're still responsible for your local income tax, and for your own health and pension contributions based on your total income — so it's worth setting aside savings monthly.
If you're hired directly by the client through our Recruiting path, the contract type is up to them: some companies hire as an employee, others as a contractor, depending on their specific needs. We'll always tell you which one applies before you accept.

How stable are the positions? can I get fired?
We only work with companies building long-term teams, and most placements are indefinite. Still, no job is guaranteed — a hiring company may let someone go due to market conditions or performance, though it's uncommon.
On BetterWay Staffing: hiring companies must give at least 15 days' notice (sometimes 30) before ending an engagement. Our low monthly fee maximizes your pay, but doesn't include severance.
On our Recruiting path: notice and severance terms are set by the hiring company, not by us.

What benefits do developers enjoy while working with BetterWay Devs?
If you're placed through BetterWay Staffing, you get private health insurance, life insurance, 15 days of paid time off, and occupational health support — all administered locally, in your country and language — plus ongoing engagement perks like check-ins, an Engineer Day, and birthday recognition. If you're hired directly by the company through our Recruiting path, benefits are set by that company, not by us — but you'll always know what's on the table before you accept.

What is the English level required?
It depends on each specific position and hiring-company, but you should be able to follow up a conversation so that you can demonstrate your technical knowledge and experience in the interview.
Each position will have the requirements, and we don't ask for certifications or tests, we just want to make sure you can communicate with the hiring-company.
