NearCore vs traditional nearshore staff augmentation
Same region, same time zone. Completely different model, and completely different outcomes for your team.
The traditional model: volume over judgment
- CV piles: dozens of resumes you still have to filter yourself
- Junior, semi-senior and senior grids for the same position, each with its own price
- Generalist recruiters covering every IT role under the sun
- Rate-driven model: engineers paid cheap, billed high, always looking for the next offer
- Replacement billed as a new search when it goes wrong
The NearCore model: a specialist boutique
- A curated shortlist of around 3 profiles, never more than 4 or 5
- Senior-only. No tiers, no grids. 7+ years of production experience is the floor
- Ten Data & Cloud roles, each with its own dedicated talent bank
- Well-paid engineers on purpose, so the people who join your team stay on your team
- Free replacement at any point in the project, included in the rate
High demand, no drama
Boutique doesn't mean small capacity
Each requirement can be assigned to one or several recruiters depending on volume and complexity, so there is no operational bottleneck when you need to scale. Engagements regularly start with 3 engineers and grow progressively: 3, then 7, then 12, then 38. The bar never drops as the team grows, because every profile goes through the same senior-only validation.
