02 · how it works

Nearshore developers — the same as building in-house, only easier.

You’re still the one interviewing and choosing the developer. Everything around that choice is ours: we source and vet the shortlist, hold the contract as your single US counterparty, carry the cross-border tax and payment paperwork, and run the billing — one US-dollar invoice per developer, and developers are paid only after it settles.

They start working

Integrated into your team. One US invoice each month. We handle the rest.

Day 21

What we handle so you don’t have to

Step five said we handle the rest. Here it is in full — the money, the compliance, and the day-to-day operations behind a live engagement, handled on our side, not yours.

Money
  • No float, no frontingEvery developer payout is bound to a settled invoice, so money out is always downstream of money you’ve already approved.
  • One US-dollar invoiceOne predictable USD charge per developer on the 15th — no foreign wires, no multi-currency reconciliation, no FX line items on your books.
  • Cross-border payment, carriedWe pay each developer in their own local currency on our regular payout schedule; your finance team never touches an international transfer or an exchange rate.
Compliance
  • Tax paperwork off your booksWe collect and review each developer’s tax form (W-9 / W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E) before anyone is paid, so the withholding and 1042-S reporting is handled by us, not your AP.
  • One US counterpartysourceBOLD is the contractor of record on every engagement — you sign an MSA and SOW with one US company and take on no cross-border employment exposure.
  • Verified before day oneGovernment-ID checks, an approved tax form, and signed contracts all clear before a developer is work-ready.
  • Provable record of everythingA tamper-evident audit trail logs every state change and every dollar; access is role-scoped, with mandatory MFA and sensitive data encrypted at rest.
Operations
  • One live dashboardEngineering, finance, and legal each log into one portal for real-time status on submissions, contracts, onboarding, invoices, and disbursements — no chasing status over email.
  • Rate changes, handledWhen a rate changes mid-engagement, you sign one SOW change order and we true up the difference automatically — a prorated charge on an increase, a credit on a decrease.
  • Clean 30-day offboardingEngagements are month-to-month; when you scale down, we run the wind-down — termination, final billing, and access teardown — on 30 days’ notice.
03 · the problem

BPOs squeeze the developer.
You end up paying for turnover.

Raw deal: low pay, high margins, fast turnover.
You feel it: paid knowledge walks out every six months.
Dev feels it: a wage that doesn’t match the work.

We do it differently — and the math works for everyone.

Our professional services installments fully consume the spread over 2 months. sourceBOLD margin is zero until month 3. We make money only when retention works — so we vet for it.

04 · what makes us different

Three reasons engineering directors stop running their own hiring loop.

01

Vetting that earns the BOLD label

A four-gate gauntlet — communication assessment, technical screen, systems interview, live pairing — filters out roughly 96 of every 100 applicants before any brief reaches your desk.

02

Money you can trust

Every developer payout is bound to a settled client invoice. No fronting, no float, no surprise reversals. Built-in audit chain logs every dollar with cryptographic integrity.

03

Time-zones, not hand-offs

We source exclusively across the Americas, giving you 4–8 overlapping working hours with US teams. Same standups, same Slack rhythm, no overnight async tax.

05 · the vetting gauntlet

3.9% of applicants ever reach a client brief.

The funnel shown is the average trailing path through our four-stage process. We hold the line so your interview pile doesn’t.

Developers who became essential.

What our clients say about the developers we placed — and the partnership around them.

These guys found great talent who are now an essential part of our team and operations. It’s a relief knowing we can rely on them to supply quality developers as we continue to grow and expand.
Our business wouldn’t be the same without the amazing developers they have provided! We couldn’t be happier with our team and how well the remote structure is working.
They reduced the cost and time to market for my website. Without their knowledge, experience and caring, I don’t know where my company would be right now.

Six questions every engineering director asks first.

Contractors. Every developer is engaged through sourceBOLD on a B2B basis — sourceBOLD is the contractor of record, the contracting counterparty on every engagement. You get a dedicated developer; you don't contract the individual or take on employer-of-record obligations.
