Nexton's Blog Industry

The three companies solve the same problem — hiring LATAM engineers for US teams — with three different models. The right choice depends on what you are optimizing for: scale, marketplace breadth, or verified technical vetting. This comparison lays out the honest trade-offs.

How should you compare nearshore staffing companies?

Three questions cut through the marketing. Who runs the technical evaluation — a recruiter, an algorithm, or an engineer? How fast do qualified candidates arrive, and is that speed verifiable? And what does the provider's own data look like — do they publish evidence, or only claims?

BairesDev: scale first

BairesDev is the volume leader of the category. Thousands of engineers, broad coverage of stacks, strong brand presence. If you need many seats fast and standardized delivery, scale is a real advantage. The trade-off: a volume model competes on capacity, not on a differentiated vetting process you can inspect.

Revelo: the marketplace model

Revelo operates a large talent marketplace with strong social proof — 130+ reviews on G2. A marketplace gives you breadth and self-serve speed. The trade-off is inherent to the model: the platform matches profiles; the depth of technical evaluation varies with the process you run on top of it.

Nexton: vetting first

Nexton's model is built around one verifiable process: every engineer is interviewed by another engineer before entering the network. Matched candidates in 72 hours, 4-week average time-to-hire, 1,500+ placements at 350+ US companies, 4.9/5 on Clutch. Smaller than BairesDev by design — the bet is depth of evaluation over breadth of bench.

Which one fits your team?

Choose BairesDev when seat count is the constraint. Choose Revelo when you want marketplace breadth and will run deep technical interviews yourself. Choose Nexton when the technical bar is the constraint — when a mis-hire costs more than a week of waiting.
