Building a high-performing remote engineering team can feel daunting. If you’ve ever asked yourself how to find, vet, and hire senior devs or wondered if there’s a way to avoid costly hiring mistakes, you’re not alone.
At BetterEngineer, we help US innovation-driven companies:
- Build high-impact tech teams quickly and reliably
- Hire engineers with proven experience in AI and data projects
- Find talent that matches US culture, time zones, and sprint speed
- Forge real, long-lasting relationships, not just short-term contracts
In this blog post, we’ll show you exactly how we build teams that truly perform and why choosing the right nearshore partner makes all the difference.
What Makes BetterEngineer Different – Not Just Another Nearshore or Staff Aug Firm
Most remote engineering providers offer a transactional approach: flood your inbox with CVs, fill empty seats, and move on. BetterEngineer was built to do something radically different: we build trust-based, high-impact engineering partnerships that last.
Here’s what sets us apart:
1. Relationships, Not Just Contracts
We build real connections between engineers and your team, and between our clients and our own talent advisors. Every partnership starts with understanding your culture, mission, and goals. That’s why 3 out of 4 candidates we present get interviews, and the average engagement lasts 21.3 months, nearly double the tech industry norm.
2. Elite, Purpose-Driven Talent Only
We do not work with junior, untested, or checkbox hires, period. Our network is 100% senior engineers who’ve thrived in high-growth, high-accountability environments and are hand-vetted for integrity, communication, and drive.
3. AI-Ready, Business-Minded Engineers
The future of engineering is AI-powered, and our talent pool reflects that. Whether you need developers with hands-on AI experience or the adaptability to quickly master new tools and frameworks, our engineers bring product intuition and strategic thinking. You’ll never hire someone just along for the ride.
4. Cultural & Time Zone Match
We focus on Latin America for a reason: real-time collaboration, shared values, and seamless communication with US teams. No more late-night meetings, no more lost-in-translation project delays.
5. Human-Centered, Founder-Focused Approach
Our startups and scale-up clients don’t have time for bureaucratic slowdowns or random placements. We personally introduce you to engineers who share your “mission-first” mindset, engineers who want to build with you, not just for you.
6. Proof, Not Promises
- 72 hours: Average time to present ready-to-interview candidates
- 98%: Long-term engagement (reflects our commitment to sustainable placements)
- $107,000 first-year average client savings (compared to SF/NY rates)
7. True “Trusted Partner” Mindset
From first intro to onboarding and long-term evolution, our support doesn’t end. We measure success by how your team, product, and company feel, not just by the number of seats filled.
BetterEngineer vs. Traditional Nearshore Companies: What Really Sets Us Apart?
| Criterion | BetterEngineer | Typical Nearshore Firms |

| Human Touch | Deep relationship focus | Transactional, resume-driven |
| Retention | Average 21.3 months | 12 months, with high churn/short engagements |
| Speed & Quality | 72h to meet ideal candidates | 4-8 weeks to meet ideal candidates |
| Price vs. Value | Clients save an average of $107,000 in the first year | Clients can lose $150,000–$300,000 (or more) from a single bad remote hire |
