As we explore this intricate web of talent acquisition costs, it becomes evident that while FlatWorld seeks to streamline the hiring process, clarity around pricing remains a critical concern for many. In this scenario, amidst the myriad of tech temp agencies, Teilur Talent emerges as a beacon of transparency, providing clear, upfront information about costs, thereby offering a straightforward path for companies looking to hire remote talent from Latin America.

FlatWorld Cost for Companies in the U.S.

FlatWorld, operating within the spheres of remote talent acquisition, adopts a flexible approach to pricing that does not specify upfront costs, as these depend on agreements made with the candidate during the hiring process. The company charges a fee ranging from 15% to 20% of the candidate's annual salary throughout the recruitment phase. While there are no initial commission fees, FlatWorld’s website reveals a variety of subscription plans for hiring services. 

These start from a $0 plan, which is limited to a single user and role. As the monthly price increases, restrictions ease, scaling up to 20 users and offering unlimited roles among other benefits. This monthly charge is an additional cost on top of the percentage taken from the annual salary of the hired candidate.

This pricing model can lead to increased costs for companies, particularly those with restricted budgets, as the combination of a percentage-based fee and additional subscription costs may not be the most economical choice. For organizations looking to optimize their hiring expenses while still accessing top-tier talent, this approach may prove challenging.

In contrast, Teilur Talent presents a straightforward and cost-effective solution by charging a single fee of 20% of the candidate's salary, with no initial charges or hidden additional costs.

FlatWorld Pricing Review

While exploring various platforms for reviews, a notable mention was found on Glassdoor, boasting a 4.8 rating from 10 reviews. Although these reviews primarily focus on employee experiences rather than client-side pricing, they offer a glimpse into the company's operation and compensation levels. For instance, a Legal Advisor's salary was noted at approximately $132,000 annually.

Upon reviewing FlatWorld's pricing structure, it's evident that costs may rise notably when compared to alternatives like Teilur Talent. FlatWorld adopts a model that not only includes a monthly membership fee for access to pre-selected and aligned candidates but also imposes a fee tied to the annual salary of the hired candidate. This approach raises concerns about the overall financial efficiency and transparency of their service.

1

How is Teilur Talent different from other tech recruiting companies in LATAM?

At Teilur Talent, we take a mission-focused approach to recruiting, ensuring that our candidates are aligned with your company's vision and goals. Unlike other tech recruiting companies in LATAM, who may focus solely on technical skills, we prioritize the cultural fit and dedication of our team members to your company. For this reason, we do not support project contractor or freelancer roles. Instead, we focus on fully devoted team members who will help you achieve long-term success. If you are looking for freelancers to complete one-off projects, you probably are better off going to companies like fiver.com, toptal.com or upwork.com.

How does Teilur Talent attract and retain the best talent compared to other companies?

At Teilur Talent, we offer our candidates competitive salaries that are 2x to 3x higher than what tech companies would pay locally. This allows us to attract top talent and retain highly motivated and loyal team members. Additionally, we focus on finding candidates whose values align with the purpose, visoin, and mission of our clients. This approach ensures that our engineers and tech talent are not just coding and completing task—rather, they become part of a greater purpose, which gives them meaning and helps us attract and retain the best talent.

At Teilur Talent, we specialize in recruiting for a wide range of tech roles that are typically in high demand. These include positions such as DevOps engineers, QA analysts and engineers, back-end and front-end developers, data scientists, product managers, business developers, and technical sales positions.

What are Teilur Talent's fees and pricing structure?

At Teilur Talent, we believe in transparency. We charge a flat rate fee of 20% of what the client pays. This way, our clients know exactly what they are paying for and how much the candidate gets. As an example: If a client hires a software engineer for $60,000 per year ($5,000 per month), Teilur's monthly fee would be $1,000 (20% of $5,000). We don't believe in hidden fees or unwanted surprises, so we disclose all costs upfront to both candidates hired and companies. When exploring other alternatives, make sure they are transparent about their pricing. We believe this is paramount for the benefit of all parties involved in this new era of remote work.
