HOW EACH MODEL WORKS

Our Service Models

See what each engagement looks like in practice—from setup to ownership.

Embedded Product Teams

Add engineers fast with flexible nearshore capacity.

What it solves

When delivery demand spikes, you need proven talent without long hiring cycles.

How it works

Align on role → curated candidates → start & integrate → ongoing support.

Key benefits

  • Start fast
  • Flexible scaling
  • Reliable continuity
  • Same-time-zone collaboration

Example use case

Add 2 backend engineers in 2–4 weeks to accelerate roadmap delivery.

MESHubs

Build → Operate → Transfer a nearshore team in Mexico.

What it solves

You want to build a nearshore hub, but without taking on the full complexity of hiring, operations, and team stabilization from day one.

How it works

We build, operate, and eventually transfer a dedicated nearshore team—so you gain ownership over time without slowing product delivery.

Key benefits

  • Structured path from launch to ownership
  • Reduced operational risk
  • Scalable team growth
  • Local expertise in Mexico
  • Long-term continuity built in

Example use case

Start with 3 engineers, scale to 10, then transfer to your payroll over time.

Nearshore RPO

Recruiting capacity that plugs into your hiring process.

What it solves

When hiring demand grows, your internal recruiters can’t keep up with pipeline generation and screening.

How it works

We run sourcing and screening, then hand qualified candidates to your team to interview and close.

Key benefits

  • More pipeline, less internal load
  • Consistent screening process
  • Faster time-to-shortlist

Example use case

Fill 5 roles per quarter with dedicated recruiting capacity and weekly pipeline reviews.

FAQs

Need clarification?

Embedded Product Teams are best when you need to scale delivery fast with ready-to-go engineers who integrate directly into your existing team.

MESHubs are 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.

Timelines depend on the engagement model, but speed is a core strength across all options:

  • Embedded Product Teams: typically 2–4 weeks from kickoff to engineers joining
  • Nearshore RPO: usually 2–3 weeks to activate recruiting and begin candidate delivery
  • MESHubs: operational setup in 45 days, significantly faster than building a local entity

Our SCALE system is designed to reduce time-to-impact without sacrificing quality.

CodersLink manages the heavy operational lift—including talent sourcing, vetting, recruiting workflows, payroll, compliance, and HR operations (depending on the model).

Your team stays focused on:

  • Product priorities and technical direction
  • Final hiring decisions
  • Day-to-day collaboration with the team

The level of operational responsibility you retain depends on the model you choose.

Yes. Many clients start with Embedded Product Teams or Nearshore RPO to move quickly, then transition into a MESHub as their team grows and their nearshore strategy matures.

Our models are designed to be flexible and evolutive, not locked into a single long-term structure from day one.

All models are powered by CodersLink’s SCALE system, which includes:

  • Access to a 45,000+ engineer community in Mexico
  • A 5-layer vetting process covering technical, communication, cultural fit, and references
  • Ongoing calibration, performance monitoring, and replacement support if needed

This ensures consistent quality, low attrition, and continuity even as teams scale or change.
