Who this page is for
This page covers our Nearshore IT Staffing model: a full-time developer on your team, with BetterWay handling recruiting, contracts, benefits, and HR support. Prefer to hire directly? That's what our IT Recruiting service is for — see how direct-hire recruiting works →
How the model works
Three things happen behind the scenes so your developer shows up ready and stays: contracting and payroll, benefits, and the ongoing relationship. Here's each, in plain terms.
Your developer is engaged as an independent contractor through BetterWay's US company — lighter-weight than a foreign employer-of-record, with less setup for you. What sets it apart: locally administered benefits, occupational health support, and an HR team involved for the life of the engagement. You direct the work. We handle the rest.
We negotiate and confirm your developer's compensation in USD upfront — no rate card, no markup buried in a blended number. That clarity is part of why our placements retain well: developers know exactly what they're being paid, and why.
Every developer we place gets real, locally administered benefits: private health insurance, 15 days of paid time off, and occupational health support — set up in their own country, in their own language. Most contractor arrangements don't include this.
Regular HR check-ins, a welcome kit, Engineer Day, birthday recognition, and knowledge-sharing sessions — some co-branded with your company, so the developer feels part of your team, not a vendor's headcount. Low turnover isn't an accident; someone actively manages that relationship.
Need to provide a laptop or other equipment? We can add computer rental and other agreed extras directly to your invoice — one bill, no separate vendor relationship to manage.
The process
A conversation about your stack, team culture, seniority level, and timeline. We listen before we search.
Within 5–10 days, we present candidates who've cleared technical and communication screening — full profiles, evaluation notes, and salary expectations included.
We coordinate scheduling and communication. You run the interviews and make the final call.
Once you've chosen your developer, we handle the contractor agreement, benefits enrollment, and onboarding — support starts on day one, not later.
Our HR team remains active for the life of the engagement: check-ins, engagement programs, and support if anything needs attention on either side.
Our staffing network spans Latin America end to end, from Mexico through Central and South America — all within time zones that overlap with US business hours. Daily standups, real-time collaboration, no end-of-day handoff gaps.
Beyond engineering: our staffing model also covers sales, marketing, accounting, and commercial roles for companies that hold the same bar for talent quality.
Get in touch →Our staffing fee is a recurring management fee calculated on top of your developer's compensation — never bundled into a blended rate. You see the developer's salary and our fee as two separate, clearly stated numbers before you commit.
Invoiced monthly, alongside your developer's compensation. No placement fee to start the engagement.
