Why Our Hiring Cost Data is Different
We do not just collect compensation data. We use it to help companies plan real hires.
Real Hiring Budgets
Based on actual hires, not job-seeker surveys. We know these ranges because we negotiate and support the engagements.
Always Current
Updated with fresh market context. No stale information from years-old reports.
Quality-Focused
Focused on developers with strong English, proven delivery records, and realistic expectations for US-company teams.
The Real Story Behind These Hiring Costs
I started as a developer myself, so I know what good talent looks like. After placing LATAM developers with U.S. companies, I realized most teams were budgeting from salary data that did not explain the real cost to hire.
These are not generic market surveys. The ranges come from real negotiations with real companies hiring real developers. I use this data to help clients understand offers, contractor expectations, staffing rates, and hiring tradeoffs.
When you are hiring developers, you need more than salary ranges. You need to understand fully loaded cost, time to hire, seniority expectations, compliance paths, and the risks that can slow a search down.
That is why this database is framed around cost to hire: the information a CTO, founder, finance leader, or hiring manager needs before committing budget.
Our Approach to Hiring Cost Data
"Real negotiations, real placements, real hiring context. That is what makes the data useful."
