An honest comparison of LATAM engineering talent providers
May 14, 20269 min read

The nearshore space has gotten crowded, and the marketing has converged — everyone claims elite talent, fast timelines, and big savings. The differences are real, but they're in the model.
What to actually compare
- Vetting: algorithmic-only, résumé screen, or senior-engineer review?
- Support: a self-serve dashboard, a rotating rep, or one dedicated partner?
- Pricing: transparent flat fee, or a percentage markup you can't see?
- Guarantee: real replacement terms, or fine print?
We'd rather you ask us these questions than take our word for it. A provider comfortable being compared on vetting, support, price, and guarantees is telling you something — and so is one that isn't.
