10 Best BairesDev Alternatives to Know in 2026

BairesDev is primarily an end-to-end delivery vendor. Its outsourcing model takes ownership of the software you need to build, assigning its own project managers to run the schedule and its own engineers to write the code, then delivering the finished product for your review. When you need a product built and don't have a team to build it, this model makes sense.

It can also place individual engineers into your team under staff augmentation, where your leads set priorities and run the work, or stand up a pod that handles delivery itself under a BairesDev tech PM. But whichever model you choose, nobody joins your company. The engineer stays a BairesDev employee, which sets their pay, their career track, and their next assignment.

An engineer embedded with you for a year knows your systems, your standards, and the people around them, and you only have that relationship for as long as the contract runs. Keeping them past it means employing them yourself, through your own entity in their country or a provider that handles it, so you're taking on international employment compliance directly or adding a second vendor to cover it.

The ten alternatives below take different approaches. Some help you hire the person rather than deliver the work, employing them on your behalf so the role is yours to keep. Others give you contractors from a global network you engage directly, with a defined path to bringing someone in-house if the work turns permanent.

Which one fits comes down to whether you're filling a role you expect to keep or covering work with an end date.

Top BairesDev alternatives at a glance

What to evaluate in any BairesDev alternative

The providers below differ less on whether they can find a good engineer than on what they do around that engineer. Five things account for most of the difference.

• Pricing model and minimums: What triggers the first payment, and what you're committed to once it starts. Minimum terms in this category range from month-to-month to a full year, and converting someone to your own payroll can carry a separate fee.
• Vetting depth and transparency: How many stages a candidate makes it through, whether a person or a model made the final decision, and whether you see the evidence. Some providers hand you a written technical assessment. Others hand you a match score.
• Speed to first hire: Shortlist speed and start date are different numbers, and providers quote whichever is faster. Ask which one a published figure describes, then ask what happens between the two.
• Full-time dedicated hire vs. short-term capacity: Whether the person works only for you, and whether they can be moved to another account. This determines what happens to your product knowledge when the engagement changes.
• Compliance and payroll handling: Who is the legal employer, whether that's an EOR, an Agent of Record, or a contractor arrangement, and whether the provider carries it in-house or through a partner. That distinction decides who is liable if a contractor is misclassified.

How a provider answers these depends on what it's built to sell. A platform designed for short engagements will have a clean answer on minimums and a thin one on what happens after someone starts, and a provider built around long-term hires inverts that.

Each entry below covers all five, with the tradeoffs its model creates.

1. Strider: Best for hiring long-term LATAM engineers with employment handled

Strider matches vetted engineers to your role and you make the hire. The process starts with an intake call on the role, and two days later a shortlist of four or five candidates chosen against those requirements comes back for you to interview and pick from. Whoever you pick reports to your leads from day one, working inside your standups, tools, and codebase on four to eight hours of daily overlap with U.S. hours.

Every candidate in Strider’s 100,000-person network has to pass pre-screening that requires Latin American residency, three years of professional experience, and remote-work eligibility for U.S. companies. English is also graded during vetting by professional teachers scoring recorded speech on the CEFR scale.

Once a search opens, proprietary AI screening narrows the network against your requirements. Then recruiters screen the remaining candidates on their stack and technical skills, while a live interview covers motivation and soft skills to ensure they’re the right culture fit as well.

A subject-matter expert closes vetting out by walking the candidate through a project they shipped, which includes asking live follow-ups that help separate someone who built the thing from someone reciting an answer an assistant produced. The reviewer’s write-up accompanies each candidate on the shortlist, naming what’s worth pushing on in your own interview. That way your engineers spend interview time on getting to know candidates rather than requalifying them.

94% of searches end in a hire, from shortlists of four or five people. Those hires usually accept an offer within two weeks of the initial call, so they're ready to support your current sprint while building product knowledge for next quarter's release.

Strider becomes the legal employer once you choose someone. Nobody in the network is on its payroll before that, so Strider isn't carrying a bench it has to keep billable. That means a full-time hire works with your company alone and has nowhere to be reassigned.

As the employer, Strider handles the contract, payroll, local taxes, benefits, and equipment, and it takes on the compliance risk. Employing someone in Argentina or Mexico means local labor law and termination rules apply, and Strider, not your finance team, answers for them.

After the start date, a named account manager owns the relationship for the length of the engagement, reachable over Slack, and handles what has no obvious home on either side, from rewarding someone after a standout quarter to organizing a team offsite in the region. A customer success team backs them up on onboarding, HR questions, and periodic performance reviews, which is part of why 90% of hires stay.

Strider's model is built around a hire you intend to keep. The vetting, the employment Strider already handles, and the ongoing support all pay off more the longer someone stays on your team, so Strider is strongest for the roles closest to your product.

For a more direct comparison, visit Strider vs BairesDev.

What you get with Strider

• Five-stage vetting: Eligibility, technical screening, English proficiency, soft skills, and a subject-matter expert interview, all completed before you see a name.
• Legal employment included: Strider employs the hire directly, so there's no separate EOR to source or entity to open in their country.
• 9-country sourcing: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay, all at four to eight hours of daily U.S. overlap.
• No upfront cost: Nothing to start a search, and payment only once you've made a hire.
• 30-day fit window: If a hire isn't working out in the first month, Strider works with you to find a better fit for free.
• Role coverage: Front end, back end, DevOps, data, AI and ML, QA, and security, plus product, design, UX research, marketing, and finance.

Strider's pricing

Strider doesn’t list a public pricing card, but you can estimate your costs using their savings calculator, which returns a fully-loaded total. That includes compliance, benefits, equipment management, and ongoing support.

Strider also works with you to find a better fit if the first one doesn't hold up in the first 30 days.

2. Revelo: Best for full-time nearshore engineers on a month-to-month commitment

Revelo places full-time LATAM engineers inside U.S. product teams on monthly engagements with no long-term obligation. You interview the shortlist and choose who joins, while Revelo takes the employment relationship across 18 countries as Agent of Record, covering local contracts, payroll, benefits, taxes, and labor-law compliance.

You describe the role, stack, and seniority, and within 72 hours in-market recruiters hand back three to five candidates picked against that brief. Screening before that point is recruiter-led, covering stack-matched technical assessments alongside English and soft skills, with deeper review by a senior engineer available when you ask for it at the start of a search. The shortlist is curated, so you're reading a handful of profiles with technical background, English level, seniority, and stack depth already established instead of filtering a database yourself.

The first 14 days run as a trial. Past that, there's no long-term contract and no cancellation penalty, so someone you brought on for a launch doesn't have to stay past it. But if you keep them on, quarterly check-ins keep the engagement on track. And if an engineer leaves, the sourcing team backfills the role for you.

Revelo’s network is mostly developers, which means it’s not the place to source design, product, or finance professionals to round out your team. The engineer also stays Revelo's employee for as long as you work together, and moving them onto your own payroll triggers a conversion fee, so the same terms that make an engagement easy to end put a price on making one permanent.

Revelo suits an engineering team adding capacity it can size up or down as the roadmap changes, with someone embedded in standups and sprints rather than working a scoped project from outside.

What you get with Revelo

• Shortlist of three to five matched candidates within 72 hours of sharing requirements
• 400,000+ engineer network across 18 LATAM countries, with a stated top-2% acceptance rate
• 14-day typical time to hire from initial request to start date
• Payroll, benefits, taxes, and local labor-law compliance on one monthly invoice
• Dedicated account manager through onboarding, with quarterly performance check-ins after

Revelo's pricing

Revelo charges an all-in monthly rate with no separate placement fee. It requires a refundable security deposit equal to one month of the engineer’s payment, credited against the final invoice. If the hire doesn’t work out during the 14-day trial, you don’t pay for that period.

3. Near: Best for hiring across several functions with one LATAM partner

Near recruits across business functions from a single Latin American talent pool. Alongside software engineers, it places finance and accounting professionals, salespeople, marketers, customer support staff, operations specialists, designers, and data specialists, which matters when engineering isn't the only department with open roles.

A dedicated recruiter runs each search against a pre-vetted network of 160,000 candidates and sources fresh people for anything the network doesn't already cover. Candidates clear resume review, technical assessments, behavioral interviews, English testing, and reference and background checks before they reach you. The first shortlist arrives in three to five days with video introductions attached, so you see how someone communicates before committing an interview slot, and most roles close within about three weeks.

Near runs two engagement models, which determine who employs the person. Under direct hire, the person goes onto your books, which assumes you already have an entity or an EOR in the country you're hiring into. Under the staffing model, Near holds the employment contract and runs payroll, tax compliance, and benefits administration.

The staffing model puts the employment contract, payroll, tax compliance, and benefits administration on Near's side for a monthly fee per hire. You set the compensation and direct the day-to-day work under either one, and your engineers report to your managers inside your existing development process.

The tradeoff for Near’s breadth is its developer depth. Covering every function across 20-plus countries means 160,000 profiles spread across finance, sales, marketing, support, and engineering rather than concentrated in developers, so a company running engineering searches at volume will find deeper benches at a specialist.

Near suits a company opening roles in several departments at once that prefer one relationship than four, with engineering as one need among them rather than the only one.

What you get with Near

• 160,000+ pre-vetted candidates across 20+ countries, sourced mainly from Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil
• Shortlist with video introductions in three to five days, most roles closing within about three weeks
• Multi-step vetting covering resume review, technical assessments, behavioral interviews, English testing, and reference and background checks
• Direct hire on a one-time recruiting fee, or the staffing model with payroll, benefits, and compliance on a monthly invoice
• 180-day guarantee on placements, with equipment and workspace support available

Near's pricing

Near doesn’t list their pricing, but they do provide the fee structure.

• Direct Hire Model: One-time placement fee at hire, where you own payroll through an EOR or your own systems and pay nothing until you hire.
• Staffing Model: Monthly all-inclusive fee that recurs for the life of the engagement, where Near runs payroll, benefits, and compliance with no upfront fees.

4. Howdy: Best for LATAM hires who want office space and in-person community

Howdy places full-time LATAM professionals with no end date and no minimum commitment, covering engineering, product, design, data, finance, and operations roles. It employs the professional, through either an Employer of Record or a Contractor of Record arrangement depending on the country, and runs payroll, benefits, and equipment. The model is built for teams that intend to keep people.

A remote hire in a city where nobody else works for your company has no workspace, no colleagues within reach, and no reason to feel tied to an employer they've only seen on a screen.

Howdy Houses address that. They are physical offices across LATAM cities where placed professionals work alongside an in-person community, with lunches, events, and development workshops running out of them. A dedicated performance coach handles the other half, covering career guidance and alignment with your team.

Both are there to stop a strong hire leaving in year two because working alone from a bedroom wore them down.

Screening takes a similar approach. Psychologists lead recruiting and weigh whether someone will hold up in a remote role on a U.S. team as heavily as whether they can do the work, and fewer than 5% of the pipeline reaches a placement. Across more than 12,500 placements in eight countries, more than 98% of hires stay through the first two years.

The community those offices create is Howdy's, though. The people in the room with your engineer are other Howdy professionals placed at other companies, which keeps someone in the job without building much attachment to your team.

Full-time placements with no end date are also the only arrangement on offer, and the recruitment cycle runs four to six weeks, so a team that needs someone in two weeks or wants capacity for a single quarter is looking at the wrong provider.

For a company building a LATAM presence it plans to keep, offices, coaching, and employment under one partner outweigh speed to hire. A fully remote team whose hires would never set foot in a Howdy House gets less from it.

What you get with Howdy

• Howdy Houses across LATAM cities including Guadalajara, Mexico City, Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Lima, Montevideo, and Córdoba
• Dedicated performance coach for each professional, drawn from engineering-management backgrounds
• Bundled employment covering contracts, payroll, tax filings, statutory benefits, equipment, and office access
• Psychologist-led recruiting with fewer than 5% of pipeline candidates reaching a placement
• Full-time placements with no end date, no minimum commitment, and no cancellation fees

Howdy's pricing

Howdy offers all-inclusive plans, covering all payroll, benefits, equipment, and more for 15% of the professional's salary.

5. TECLA: Best for filling a role full-time, part-time, or hourly under one agreement

TECLA is built for companies that want nearshore engineers inside their existing teams without taking on cross-border employment administration. You interview and choose the developer, while TECLA remains the Employer of Record. Its all-inclusive rate covers contracts, benefits, equipment, compliance, and ongoing success support.

Every hire opens with a trial period, and a 90-day guarantee runs behind it. Terms are month-to-month, there are no placement fees, and running a search costs nothing until someone starts.

Vetting runs four stages before a profile reaches you. AI screening covers the full network, a real-world technical assessment replaces the algorithm puzzle, a 45-minute recruiter interview covers spoken English and soft skills, and every candidate arrives with a minimum of three verified references. That reference check catches a candidate whose previous manager tells a different story than the résumé does.

Once the trial closes, a 30-day notice applies to any change, so scaling a role back is a decision you make a month ahead rather than the week it comes up. Engagements are also billed hourly rather than as a fixed monthly seat, so a role's cost tracks against reported hours and someone on your side owns approving them.

TECLA fits a team whose roles don't all come in the same size. A staff engineer at forty hours and a designer at twenty run through the same agreement instead of multiple vendor relationships. That's worth less when every role is a straightforward full-time hire, and it doesn't help when you need someone starting this week.

What you get with TECLA

• 50,000+ vetted professionals across 18+ LATAM countries, covering 100+ technologies
• Four-stage vetting with AI screening, a real-world technical assessment, a 45-minute recruiter interview, and three or more reference checks
• Flex Contracts running full-time, part-time, or hourly depending on the role
• Engineers dedicated to your company and managed day-to-day by your own leads, on four to six hours of U.S. overlap
• U.S.-based entity for contracting and invoicing, with equipment, benefits, and background checks bundled in

TECLA's pricing

TECLA prices staff augmentation as an all-inclusive monthly rate per resource, quoted per role, and you pay nothing until you hire.

6. Toptal: Best for getting a pre-vetted specialist working within days

Toptal offers a network of pre-screened specialists who can start working in days. Every applicant passes five screening steps over three to eight weeks, starting with a language and personality interview that 26.4% pass and ending with a test project scored by a senior engineer in the same discipline that cuts the pool down to just 3% of applicants.

The fast hiring speed comes from how Toptal matches you with candidates. All technical vetting happens on general criteria before you start your search, which means they’re not specifically evaluated for their fit against your requirements. That saves a few days of sourcing, evaluations, and fit interviews.

Instead, a human matcher reads your requirements against the admitted pool and introduces candidates in under 24 hours. That introduction acts as the fit test. Then the two-week trial does the rest, ensuring the fit is right in practice and not just on paper. Despite the lack of specialized screening, 90% of clients hire the first person they meet.

What you're engaging is a freelancer. The network spans more than 100 countries with the heaviest concentration in the Americas and Europe, covering developers, designers, product and project managers, marketers, and management consultants, and the same person can work hourly, part-time, or full-time as the work changes shape. Toptal also runs a separate services arm that takes managed delivery across cloud, custom software, mobile, and AI.

Because you're engaging a freelancer, working hours depend on who you're matched with, so state the overlap you need at intake and confirm the schedule before the trial starts.

And in the standard engagement, Toptal isn't the employer of record, so you handle worker classification and local compliance. Employment coverage also exists as a separate product rather than something included in a match, so if you expect an engagement to run for years, decide that early.

Toptal is strongest where specialist expertise and a fast start matter more than permanence, which usually means scoped work or capacity you need for a defined stretch.

What you get with Toptal

• Five-step screening with under 3% of applicants accepted, including a live technical interview and a scored test project
• Introductions in under 24 hours, with a net-new search running one to three weeks
• Two-week trial before an engagement continues
• Multi-discipline network spanning developers, designers, marketers, management consultants, and product and project managers
• Contractual IP transfer passing ownership of all work product to the client

Toptal's pricing

Toptal quotes rates per engagement, whether you're hiring hourly, part-time, or on a full-time contract. However, there is a $79 monthly platform subscription fee, charged once you proceed to talent matching and recurring until you cancel

A negotiable conversion fee also applies if you bring a contractor onto your own payroll.

7. Arc.dev: Best for freelance flexibility with a contract-to-hire path

Arc.dev runs freelance, part-time, full-time, and contract-to-hire arrangements off one talent pool, so the engagement type is a decision you make per role rather than per vendor. Freelance matches close in about 72 hours and full-time hires take roughly 14 days, drawn from 450,000 professionals across 190 countries.

The sourcing work happens through HireAI, a GPT-4-powered matching layer that returns candidates without you building search filters, contacts the closest fits on your behalf, and adjusts as you accept and reject profiles.

What HireAI returns depends on which path you're hiring for, and the vetting behind those two isn't the same. Freelance candidates clear a video-based communication assessment and then a domain expertise interview with an expert in their specialty. Full-time candidates clear the communication assessment and are recommended to employers from there.

Anyone who passed the freelance track can be introduced for full-time roles too, so a full-time shortlist mixes both, and the technical bar behind a given profile depends on which route that person took.

Because the two tracks vet differently, contract-to-hire is the strongest way to use the platform. A freelance engagement opens with a trial of up to two weeks, and if the developer isn't working out, you aren't billed, and the search reopens. Convert the same person to a permanent hire once the work has proven itself, which carries a contract-to-hire fee, and you've tested the fit in your own codebase before committing to it.

Once a full-time placement closes, Arc steps back. You run payroll, benefits, and compliance yourself or through one of Arc's partner EOR providers, since Arc doesn't offer employment coverage in-house. The 190-country pool also carries no default working-hour overlap, so hours are a matching requirement you have to state rather than a property of the network.

Arc.dev makes sense if you want to start small and decide later, and you have the capacity to run international employment yourself once a hire goes permanent.

What you get with Arc.dev

• Freelance, part-time, full-time, and contract-to-hire engagements from a single 450,000-person pool across 190 countries
• HireAI matching that returns candidates in seconds, contacts the closest fits automatically, and learns from your accepts and rejections
• Video-based communication assessment for every candidate, with a domain expertise interview on the freelance track
• Up to a two-week trial on freelance engagements, with no billing if the match doesn't hold
• Dedicated recruiter, custom sourcing, and Lever and Greenhouse ATS integrations on the full-time plan

Arc.dev's pricing

On the freelance track, you pay $0 until you make a hire. Both fee structures are published on Arc.dev's pricing page.

• Freelance: $15 to $110+ per hour depending on seniority and region, with each developer setting their own rate.
• Full-time placement: a one-time fee of 20% of the hire's first-year salary, paid when the placement closes.

8. Turing: Best for self-serve algorithmic matching across a global engineering pool

Turing scores candidates against your role with a model. It ranks on technical fit, seniority, availability, and time-zone overlap, then returns three to five names from a pool of more than three million engineers across 150-plus countries, usually within five business days. A pool that size has depth in hard-to-find specializations, including dedicated tracks for AI, machine learning, NLP, and computer vision engineers.

The assessments feeding that model are automated end-to-end. A calibrated 57-question sequence places seniority, and technical screening covers programming languages, data structures, algorithms, system design, frameworks, and specialization depth. Testing candidates on demonstrated skill rather than résumé keywords is what makes a pool that size searchable at all.

It also means no human technical interviewer is in the standard pipeline. The automated assessments are the only quality control, so you need to run a live technical round yourself on any role where depth or communication style matters. That work comes back to your team, and it's the price of the speed.

Turing commits to four hours of overlap with your time zone, and four hours is a minimum, so same-hours candidates take deliberate filtering to reach from a global pool. Engineers also work as independent contractors and Turing doesn't employ them, so you handle classification and compliance.

If you're stuck on a specialized search and would rather hand sourcing to a ranking engine than run it internally, Turing works, provided an engineering manager is available to do the technical validation the pipeline leaves out.

What you get with Turing

• Shortlist of three to five candidates in three to five business days, drawn from three million-plus engineers across 150+ countries
• Automated vetting covering programming languages, data structures, algorithms, system design, and specialization depth across 100+ technologies
• Calibrated 57-question seniority assessment placing candidates across seven levels
• Dedicated hiring tracks for AI, machine learning, NLP, and computer vision engineers
• Four-hour minimum daily overlap with your time zone, with mandatory daily standups

Turing's pricing

Turing doesn’t publish a standard rate card for its on-demand talent service. You’ll need to provide your hiring requirements and request a custom quote. However, hires come with a 21-day guarantee.

9. Andela: Best for enterprise programs staffed across many countries at once

Andela recruits across 135-plus countries, with a deployable pool of 17,000 engineers drawn from a much larger developer ecosystem. That reach means a program that needs engineers in three regions at once runs through one provider instead of three, and the Talent Cloud handles the whole workflow, from sourcing and qualification through interviewing, management, and payment.

Matching runs through the Talent Decision Engine, which ranks candidates on region, rate, time-zone overlap, availability, and seniority. Technical evidence comes from Andela Qualify, an assessment layer with more than 500 real-world coding challenges that you can configure or add to, and you can play back a candidate's session rather than reading a score.

Interviews happen in the platform, and you can hire individual contributors, take a ready-made team, or hand over a project entirely when you want delivery owned rather than staffed.

For AI programs specifically, engineers come grouped into defined roles. Builders turn requirements into applications, Integrators connect models to enterprise systems and infrastructure, and Scalers run the platform and production layer. Training as a Service sits alongside that to bring your own engineers up to speed on the stack they'll inherit.

The contract terms decide whether Andela fits. Standard engagements run a twelve-month minimum and then auto-renew month to month, and the fifteen-business-day trial at the start is paid rather than risk-free.

Technologists work as contractors, and Andela isn't the employer of record, so you handle classification. Hiring one onto your own payroll triggers a buy-out fee and an obligation to backfill the role. None of that is unusual at enterprise scale, but it means you pay for a year to staff a six-month initiative.

With Andela, an organization that plans in years and staffs across borders gets one provider covering hiring, delivery, training, and payment in 100-plus countries for the price of a twelve-month commitment.

What you get with Andela

• 17K+ deployable engineers across 135+ countries, drawn from a 5.6M developer ecosystem
• Talent Decision Engine matching on region, rate, time-zone overlap, availability, and seniority
• Andela Qualify assessments with 500+ configurable coding challenges and session playback
• Andela Pay running contractor payouts, currency exchange, OFAC checks, and KYC reviews in 100+ countries
• Individual contributors, ready-made teams, or fully managed delivery on the same platform

Andela's pricing

Andela doesn’t publish standard pricing for its talent or managed AI engagements. You’ll need to discuss the role, team, or project with Andela and request a custom quote.

10. Globant: Best for end-to-end vendor delivery at enterprise scale

Globant sells “transformation programs,” also known as outsourced work, rather than engineers. Its 28,500 employees work across five continents and are organized into Studios rather than a general bench, so an engagement starts by matching your program to a practice instead of assembling people from scratch. What you buy is a scoped outcome with the vendor accountable for reaching it.

Handing off a whole program only works when the vendor already knows the territory. Reinvention Studios cover industries including gaming, finance, travel, and sports, and Enterprise Platforms Studios sit on Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP, so the team on your program has shipped in your sector or on your platform before.

That's the difference between a vendor that can build what you specify and one that can tell you what to specify.

AI work runs through a newer structure. AI Pods are subscription service units that pair agentic AI with human oversight, priced against output or consumption rather than hours or seats, so you're paying for a result instead of a team.

That ownership cuts both ways. You don't interview or pick who staffs a pod, and with delivery spread across more than 30 countries, working-hour overlap is common but not guaranteed. Overlap becomes even more complicated because staffing location is Globant's decision, made against its own capacity rather than your standup time.

Globant makes sense when you're committing to a transformation program that needs industry or platform depth alongside engineering capacity, and you'd rather hold one vendor accountable for the result than manage the people producing it.

What you get with Globant

• 28,500 professionals across five continents, organized into industry and enterprise-platform Studios
• Reinvention Studios spanning gaming, finance, travel, and sports, plus Enterprise Platforms Studios on Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP
• AI Pods sold as subscription service units priced on output or consumption rather than hours or seats
• Claude-powered AI Pods through a 2026 Anthropic alliance, running in 40% of Globant's top 20 accounts
• Proprietary tooling including Globant Enterprise AI, CODA for the development lifecycle, and Augoor for code understanding

Globant's pricing

Globant doesn't publish standard pricing for traditional consulting, engineering, or transformation engagements. Pricing is established through the discovery and proposal process.

Its newer Glob.AI model is different: AI Pods use output- or consumption-linked pricing rather than charging by seat or hour.

Strider: The best BairesDev alternative for LATAM engineers hired to fill a specific role, not assigned from a bench

BairesDev is a solid option when a build needs an owner and you don't have one internally. A global marketplace may work better when the work has an end date and the specialist matters more than the seat. But neither one leaves you with a person on your team who's still there in year three.

That's what Strider's hiring model is for. It runs the search against your role, and the person you pick joins your team. Nobody but you decides their next assignment.

Strider carries the employment underneath, including the compliance exposure that comes with employing someone in another country, so the only thing left for your team to manage is the work.
