02 · how it works

The same as building in-house — only easier.

You’re still the one interviewing and choosing the developer. We do everything around it: the search, the vetting, the contracts, the cross-border paperwork, the billing cycles.

03 · the problem

BPOs squeeze the developer.
You then pay for the turnover.

That’s the deal: low pay, high margins, fast turnover. You feel turnover as institutional knowledge walks out every six months. The developer feels it as a wage that doesn’t match the work.

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

Our recruiter installments fully consume the spread over 3 months. sourceBOLD margin is zero until month 4. 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 — technical screen, language assessment, references + work sample, final review — 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

4.2% 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.

06 · trust

Our clients keep coming back.

Engagement extensions tell us more than NPS scores. Here’s what engineering leaders say after their first year.

We replaced a six-week agency funnel with sourceBOLD and had a staff engineer pairing on day twelve. The vetting actually held — first developer was the one.
The funding-gate model gave our finance team the confidence to approve faster. We knew nothing would ship until invoices cleared. No floats, no reversals.
The portal is what sold us. Every contract version, every disbursement, every audit row — there when we needed it. No screenshot updates from sales.

Six questions every engineering director asks first.

Contractors. Every developer is engaged through sourceBOLD on a B2B basis, with sourceBOLD as the contracting counterparty. You get a dedicated developer; you don't take on employer-of-record obligations.
