Kindly share your feedback on how GoodFirms has been doing so far in increasing your visibility among potential clients.

At BetterWay Devs, we have had a positive experience with GoodFirms in terms of increasing our visibility among potential clients. The platform has played a crucial role in establishing our online reputation and building trust with potential customers. By leveraging the features offered by GoodFirms, such as reviews and ratings, we have been able to showcase our company's services and unique business model to a wider audience. This increased visibility has opened up more opportunities for us to connect with and present our services to a larger pool of companies. Overall, GoodFirms has been instrumental in helping us expand our reach and attract new clients to our business.

Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.

As the CEO of BetterWay Devs, I am responsible for leading the company and driving our strategic direction. BetterWay Devs is an innovative IT staffing and talent acquisition firm that specializes in connecting tech-savvy companies with the right tech talent in South America. Our mission is to help businesses unlock access to the vast talent pool in South America and create long-lasting employment relationships. We take pride in our transparent and personalized approach to staffing, ensuring that our clients find the ideal tech talent for their teams. My role involves overseeing all aspects of the company's operations, fostering strong client relationships, and guiding our team toward achieving our goals and delivering exceptional service to our clients.

What is the story behind starting this company?

BetterWay Devs is a spin-off of Atlanticsoft, a company with a strong track record of helping US and international businesses with their software development needs since 2007. Recognizing the increased demand for remote work and the growing interest in hiring developers in South America, we launched our Staff Augmentation service under the name AtlanticNearshore in 2021, which was later rebranded as BetterWay Devs in 2022.

We observed that traditional nearshore companies faced challenges in establishing long-term relationships and experienced high employee turnover. These issues were often caused by a lack of transparency, excessive fees, numerous intermediaries, and lower salaries. To address these concerns, we developed a unique model where we act as a light intermediary, eliminating additional intermediaries and minimizing fees. This allows us to maximize salaries and provide transparent and negotiable salary information directly to the hiring companies. Moreover, we offer local benefits to developers, ensuring stability, and commitment, and fostering long-lasting relationships.

At BetterWay Devs, we are committed to revolutionizing the Staff Augmentation industry by offering a transparent and mutually beneficial approach. Our goal is to create lasting partnerships that bring value to both companies and developers while overcoming the challenges typically associated with hiring in South America.

What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?

At BetterWay Devs, our business model revolves around recruiting on-demand candidates based on the specific requirements of our clients. We have a dedicated team of professionals who are experts in sourcing and recruiting tech talent in South America. We don't hire other companies or add unnecessary intermediaries in the mix. Instead, we directly hire the developers as an Employer of Record (EOR), acting as a light intermediary. This enables us to provide a transparent and streamlined process, ensuring that our clients have full control and visibility over their dedicated team members. By eliminating intermediaries, we can maximize the salary potential for the developers and foster long-term relationships. It's a model that prioritizes direct, efficient, and trustworthy collaboration between our clients and our talented developers.

How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?

At BetterWay Devs, we differentiate ourselves from the competition in several key ways. First and foremost, our transparent and personalized approach to staffing sets us apart. We prioritize building long-term relationships with our clients and focus on finding the right tech talent that aligns with their specific needs and culture. Our website provides full visibility into our fees, ensuring both clients and developers know exactly how much we make. This level of transparency builds trust and fosters stronger partnerships.

Additionally, our unique business model as both an advanced Employer of Record (EOR) and a Staff Augmentation company allows us to offer the best of both worlds: the benefits and compliance of hiring directly, combined with the flexibility and expertise of a staff augmentation model. We also stand out with our commitment to employee well-being and local benefits, ensuring that our developers have the support and stability they need to thrive. By providing competitive salaries, eliminating unnecessary intermediaries, and offering exceptional customer service, we deliver a superior experience and results for our clients.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?

At BetterWay Devs, we work with tech-savvy companies across various industries that require long-term developer hiring solutions. We create ongoing relationships with our clients, often becoming their partner of choice as we provide value month after month. We are proud to say that 100% of our clients are repetitive, as they trust us to consistently deliver top tech talent that meets their specific needs. Our expertise extends across industries, from technology and e-commerce to healthcare and finance.

Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?

Clients approach us at BetterWay Devs primarily for our expertise in finding and hiring software developers in South America. This is our main service and we have a strong track record in sourcing and recruiting top tech talent. Additionally, we also offer contingency recruitment services where we recruit candidates for our clients on a fee basis only upon successful placements. Our flexible service offerings cater to the specific needs of our clients and ensure that they find the right candidates to meet their software development requirements.

What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?

At BetterWay Devs, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We strive to ensure that our clients are highly satisfied with our services. While we don't have an exact customer satisfaction rate, we have received positive feedback and testimonials from our clients, which reinforces our commitment to delivering excellent results.

Moreover, we are proud to say that our clients often come back to us when they have the need to expand their teams and hire new talent. This speaks to the trust and confidence they have in our ability to provide top-notch software developers. We value the long-term relationships we build with our clients and the opportunity to support their ongoing growth and success.

In addition, we understand the importance of keeping our clients' developers engaged and happy. That's why we provide local support to our client's developers, ensuring that they have the resources and support they need to thrive in their roles. This focus on developer satisfaction translates into better work output and ultimately leads to greater client satisfaction.

What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?

At BetterWay Devs, we provide dedicated account managers and a responsive team to support our clients. I am personally available and dedicated to ensuring that our client's requirements are fulfilled. We prioritize open communication, actively listen to client needs, and go above and beyond to meet their expectations. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience and exceptional support throughout the engagement.

What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)

At BetterWay Devs, we prioritize transparency and flexibility in our business model. When we handle the recruitment and hiring process as the Employer of Record (EOR), we offer a monthly fixed fee structure, providing our clients with clear visibility into the costs and enabling effective budget planning. For clients seeking only recruitment services, we offer a contingent success fee based on successful placements. We understand that different clients have different needs, so we provide options for our fee structure to accommodate their preferences. This approach ensures that our clients have the freedom to select the model that best suits their requirements.

Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?

At BetterWay Devs, we understand that every project and profile is unique, and the budget requirements can vary. We don't have a minimum budget requirement, but we ensure that there is enough budget allocated to cover the market salaries of the requested profiles. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and provide accurate cost estimates based on the experience and skills required. Our goal is to find the right talent within the allocated budget and deliver exceptional results that meet our client's expectations.

What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2022?

At BetterWay Devs, we partner with clients who have a long-term vision and intention to hire software developers for their teams. Whether our clients need to hire one full-time developer, expand their teams with multiple developers, or even require marketing roles, we have the expertise to meet their needs. The cost of hiring a software developer through us typically ranges from $5000 to $8000, depending on factors such as seniority, tech stack, and specific requirements. In addition, we also offer more specialized and senior developer roles at higher price points. Our focus is on providing high-quality talent and dedicated resources for long-term projects, helping our clients achieve their software development and staffing goals.

Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?

In the next 10 years, we envision BetterWay Devs as the preferred partner for our current clients, continuing to build strong relationships and providing exceptional staffing solutions. We are committed to serving as a trusted resource for CTOs and CEOs across America, helping them successfully staff their software development teams. Additionally, we aspire to become the top choice for software developers in South America, offering rewarding job opportunities with North American companies. By fostering a supportive work environment, competitive compensation, and ample growth opportunities, we aim to attract and retain top tech talent. Our ultimate goal is to be recognized as the go-to platform for both clients and developers, facilitating successful and long-lasting employment relationships.
