Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers about hiring, pricing, timelines, and how CodersLink works.
Company & Value Proposition
We don't just send resumes. Our engineers are technically vetted, aligned to your stack, and embedded directly into your workflows. You get execution-ready talent, not recruiting noise.
Engagement Models & Offerings
No. We're not a dev shop. We build and manage the team that builds your software, while you keep full control over decisions and quality.
It's staff augmentation run as a partnership, not a body shop. Engineers are selected for long-term fit, cultural alignment and retention, not short-term staffing.
MESHubs (Mexico's Engineering Shared Hub) is our build-operate-transfer model. It lets you launch a dedicated engineering hub in Mexico today, with the option to fully transfer ownership later.
Nearshore RPO embeds our recruiters into your internal hiring team. They work in your time zone, use your tools, and build a pipeline exclusively for your company.
Staff Augmentation is best when you need to scale delivery fast with ready-to-go engineers who integrate directly into your existing team.
MESHubs is designed for companies looking to build a long-term nearshore operation in Mexico, with CodersLink managing the hub early on and a clear path to ownership.
Nearshore RPO focuses on adding recruiting capacity, allowing you to hire your own engineers faster without building or expanding an internal recruiting team. Each model aligns to a different balance of speed, ownership, and operational involvement.
You manage the roadmap and day-to-day work.
We hold the engineer's contract in Mexico and run engineer care and performance continuity in the background.
Speed & Hiring Process
You typically receive a curated shortlist of three vetted engineers within five business days of the calibration call: three to five days for a common stack, longer for a scarce one, and we tell you which tier your role is at intake. Most partners go from kickoff to signed offer in about three weeks.
Timelines depend on the engagement model, but speed is a core strength across all options:
Staff Augmentation: about six weeks from kickoff to the engineer starting, roughly three weeks to a signed offer, then their notice period at their current job.
Nearshore RPO: usually 2 to 3 weeks to activate recruiting and begin candidate delivery.
MESHubs: first profiles in five business days per seat, with seats filled in parallel; your hub is operational in weeks, not quarters. Our five-layer vetting is designed to reduce time-to-impact without sacrificing quality.
CodersLink manages the heavy operational lift: talent sourcing, vetting, recruiting workflows, and, where we hold the contract, engineer care and compliance. Your team stays focused on product priorities and technical direction, final hiring decisions, and day-to-day collaboration with the team. The level of operational responsibility you retain depends on the model you choose.
No. Engineers are 100% dedicated to your team and work exclusively on your roadmap. Their contract is with CodersLink in Mexico, not with you, under the model that fits the engagement.
All models are powered by CodersLink's five-layer vetting, which includes access to a 45,000+ engineer community in Mexico (around 300 hold the Top 1% Standard at any one time), a 75-point gate, and ongoing calibration, performance monitoring, and replacement support if needed. This ensures consistent quality, low attrition, and continuity even as teams scale or change.
Every engineer goes through a structured English assessment to ensure they can communicate complex technical ideas and collaborate effectively in sprints.
Flexibility & Risk
Yes. MESHubs is the built-in path: we build and operate the team, then transfer it to your payroll. On Nearshore RPO you employ every hire from day one. Other situations have alternatives a specialist can walk you through.
We protect your momentum. On Staff Augmentation, replacements are unlimited and free for the life of the engagement, with no cap, no minimum tenure and no replacement fee, and we backfill quickly if someone leaves later. On Nearshore RPO, a 90-day replacement warranty applies to every hire while the retainer is active.
Yes. Most relationships start with Staff Augmentation, scale into MESHubs when a dedicated hub in Mexico makes sense, and add Nearshore RPO when hiring volume outpaces the internal team. The models are designed to evolve with you, not to lock you into a single structure from day one.
Legal, Compliance & IP
You do. The engagement contract contains a present assignment of IP to you, worldwide and perpetual.
Yes. Equipment and benefits sit inside the engagement, not billed alongside it. On Staff Augmentation and MESHubs, CodersLink holds the engineer's contract in Mexico through CodersLink MX S.A. de C.V. and carries the classification decision. Whichever contracting form applies, we provide medical and social insurance, home-office reimbursement, equipment, performance reviews and bonuses, inside the engagement rather than on top of it.
It depends on the service, and the distinction matters:
Staff Augmentation and MESHubs: CodersLink holds the engineer's contract in Mexico, and the classification decision is ours to make and ours to carry. Depending on the engagement the engineer is either our employee under Mexican labor law or an independent contractor invoicing us directly. Either way the contract is with us and never with you, and severance, terminations and labor compliance are managed by CodersLink.
Nearshore RPO: you employ the engineer. We run your recruiting engine and the hire is yours from day one.
Whichever form applies, we provide medical and social insurance, home-office reimbursement, perks, performance reviews and bonuses. Our voluntary turnover is 15%, against 18 to 24 months of average tenure.
IP protection and confidentiality agreements are baked into contracts across every model.
Your company directs day-to-day work. Where we hold the contract, CodersLink carries the legal and HR risk, so you get dedicated team members without opening a Mexican entity or navigating labor law yourself.
Pricing & Commercials
One monthly rate per engineer on Staff Augmentation, agreed in writing before you start. We show you what sits inside it before you sign. MESHubs and Nearshore RPO are priced per engagement, and a specialist walks you through the structure on the scoping call.
