Why Bable
The hiring infrastructure is ours. The engineer is yours.
Companies and startups don't need another vendor to manage — they need senior hands on the keyboard, fast, with none of the overhead.
AI-first by default
Every engineer in the pool works with Claude Code, Codex, Devin, Cursor and the rest as core tools — not as novelties. More output per person, same quality bar.
Vetted with our own AI
Candidates go through Bable AI Trainer and Bable Interview before a senior human ever gets involved. Only the top 10% make the pool.
Real experience at every level
From juniors who have shipped production code to VP-level leaders who have run teams — all with verifiable track records.
One monthly fee, everything covered
Contracts, payroll, local compliance, benefits, internal training and even stock-option administration. You pay one invoice; we handle the rest.
Nearshore hours, global reach
Based in Latin America and aligned to US and European time zones, with engineers available for teams anywhere in the world.
Zero risk to start
30-day money-back guarantee and a replacement if the fit isn't right. We would rather lose a month than a client.
What's included
You pay one monthly fee. We run the rest.
Everything a company would normally build an HR, legal and IT function for is already in place at Bable — so a startup can hire like an enterprise, and an enterprise can move like a startup.

FAQ
Staff augmentation, question by question
If yours isn't here, ask it on the call — or ask our support team, any hour.
How quickly can I get an engineer?
For profiles in the pool, you'll see a shortlist within 48–72 hours and the engineer typically starts within one to two weeks. For profiles we source for you, allow two to three weeks.
What exactly does the monthly fee cover?
Everything: the engineer's compensation, local employment contract, payroll and taxes, labour compliance, benefits and perks, equipment, internal training, 24/7 support and our follow-up on delivery. You receive one invoice from Bable.
How do you handle compliance and employment law?
Bable is the employer of record in the engineer's country. We handle contracts, payroll, taxes, social security and local labour law so you have no entity, registration or liability to manage.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Everything produced by Bable engineers for your company is assigned to you under our agreement, including the IP, from the first commit.
Can I offer my Bable engineers stock options?
Yes. We can administer option grants and vesting schedules on your behalf as part of the engagement, so the engineer is aligned with your company's success.
Are perks and benefits really covered?
Yes. Health coverage, paid time off, equipment and the other benefits that keep good engineers around are included in the monthly fee and administered by us.
What does internal training include?
Continuous upskilling in AI tooling (Claude Code, Codex, Devin, Cursor and more), architecture, security and your domain. It happens on our time, so your team keeps improving without a training budget.
How do you vet engineers?
Candidates practise and validate their skills in Bable AI Trainer, are assessed by Bable Interview — our AI interviewer, which covers technical depth, real project experience, problem solving and English — and then do a live 1:1 with a senior Bable engineer. Only the top 10% make it into the pool.
Are they really AI-first?
Yes. Working with AI tools is a hiring criterion, not an add-on. Every engineer uses Claude Code, Codex, Devin or similar tools as part of their daily workflow, and we train continuously as the tooling evolves.
Which seniorities and roles are available?
From junior engineers with real production experience to staff engineers, tech leads and Director/VP-level leaders, across frontend, backend, mobile, AI/LLM, data, DevOps, QA, design and product.
Where are the engineers located?
Primarily across Latin America, aligned with US and European hours — but we source from anywhere in the world and place engineers with teams anywhere in the world.
How does support work? Will I talk to a bot?
Our support team runs on AI agents backed by real people. Agents answer and resolve most questions at any hour; people step in for anything that needs judgement and make sure delivery stays on track. You won't notice the difference, except in response time.
What if the engineer isn't the right fit?
Within the first 30 days you get a full refund. After that, we replace the engineer at no additional cost and manage the handover.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Three months for full-time and part-time engagements, 100 hours for hourly. After the minimum you can scale up, down or stop with notice.
How do I pay?
One monthly invoice from Bable, by bank transfer or card, in USD or EUR. No upfront contract fees or recruiter commissions.
