Unfortunately, BairesDev does not disclose their costs or margins on their website, which could be due to the complexity of building remote teams. However, as an end-to-end solution committed to transparency, Teilur Talent believes it is critical to understand how much a client pays and how much a developer keeps from that payment. In this article, we attempt to examine BairesDev's pricing structure and provide insights on how Teilur Talent's transparent pricing model can be a great alternative for companies seeking a partner in international tech recruiting.
BairesDev cost for companies in the U.S.
While we could not find where BairesDev specifically outlines their cost structure, we found that Clutch.co provides some information that can give you a rough idea of what you can expect to pay depending on the size of your organization and type of talent you are looking for.
The summary we found concludes that BairesDev costs on average $50 - $99 per hour. For a full-time candidate this would translate to $98,000/yr on the low end and to $190,000/yr on the high end.

After looking in detail through dozens of reviews for some pricing information, we found a review from a client that provides insight into how much BairesDev may charge your organization.
SmartObjx pricing review
First, we'll be examining the review of Russ McClelland. Upon a brief search on LinkedIn, it appears that he is affiliated with smartObjx, a company that specializes in developing cloud-based infrastructure services and software components.
According to the review, the cost for a 1-year engagement in 2021-2022 for two Senior Developers ranges from $200k to nearly $1M. The review also notes that the developers were sourced from Central and South America. Based on this information, our deductions are:
- The client paid each Sr. Developer at least $100,000/yr. This is on the low end of the estimation, and it is possible the client paid even more.
- It is not possible to identify how much of this payment went to the candidate hired by the client.
- The candidates were likely Sr. DevOps engineers with expertise in Azure.
- At Teilur Talent, we estimate that for a Sr. DevOps engineer with expertise in Azure, a reasonable price tag would be $85,000/yr with at least $68,000/yr going to the engineer hired.

Our thoughts on the pricing structure of Toptal
While it's not possible for us to find details about how much of what a client pays ultimately goes to a candidate, we believe clients looking for transparent and straightforward pricing may want to look at other alternatives.
Our opinion is that if they are charging a client more than $12,000 monthly for a developer, they should at the very least be giving $9,600 to the candidate, but it's likely that it's even less than that.
What Hiring Managers Should Ask Before Choosing a Talent Partner
Before partnering with any talent provider — whether Toptal, Teilur, or others — hiring managers should consider asking the following key questions:
- What percentage of the fee actually goes to the talent?
- Are replacement or satisfaction guarantees included in the contract?
- How are regional salary benchmarks determined?
- Is there full transparency in how rates are broken down?
- What is the long-term cost difference between hiring directly and through a platform?
These questions can help businesses make informed decisions and ensure that pricing aligns with both market realities and ethical compensation practices.
Conclusion
In conclusion, transparent rate pricing stands as a cornerstone of trust and fairness in the realm of remote recruiting. By adhering to principles of transparency before any interaction and providing clarity on expected rates, Teilur Talent sets a new standard in the industry, ensuring clients are well-informed and receive equitable value for their investments.
