The 75 / 25 split
Our margin is 25%, published on every invoice.
There is no markup to reverse-engineer and no blended rate. You see the hourly rate, the hire sees the same rate, and the split is identical across every role and seniority.
- Benchless: no one waits on a bench to be billed, so candidates are proposed only when the fit is real.
- Lean operations: a small team with AI-assisted sourcing and administration, which is why 25% is enough to run on.
- AI training and coaching for every hire is included, which supports retention through the engagement.

75% · the hire
$45/hr
Paid monthly by nuen on documented international transfers. The hire sees your rate, so the split is known on both sides.
25% · nuen
$15/hr
Sourcing, contracts, payments, compliance.
AI training, included and specified
A role-relevant AI tooling stack, licences and recurring coaching sessions for your hire, scheduled and funded by nuen from its 25%. It is ongoing for the length of the engagement and does not appear on your invoice.
Sample rate for a senior hire. Every other role and seniority is quoted on the same 75 / 25 split when you book.
How we vet
Vetted before they reach your shortlist.
Every candidate clears the same four checks. You meet the two or three who pass, and if the fit is not working we re-match from the vetted shortlist.
01
Craft screen on real work
A working exercise or portfolio review scoped to the problem discussed on the discovery call, not a generic test score.
02
English assessed separately
Fluency is graded on its own. Client-facing and heads-down roles are priced differently, and you pay for fluency only where the role needs it.
03
References verified
Previous engagements confirmed with the managers who ran them, plus identity and eligibility checks before any contract is signed.
04
You interview the finalists
A 5-minute intro call with each of the two or three finalists. If a hire is not meeting performance expectations, we re-match from the vetted shortlist after written notice.
The process
How an engagement starts — in 60 seconds.
One call, a shortlist, a part-time start. Press play for the whole process, or read it step by step.
nuen · how it works
Senior LATAM engineers.Without the full-time bet.
Four steps from first call to a working engagement.
Contracts, IP and classification
One contract with nuen, whatever the team size.
Cross-border contracting, IP assignment and contractor classification are handled on our side of the engagement.
One contract, one invoice
You contract with and are invoiced by nuen, never by individual contractors. We manage the downstream contracts and the monthly payment flow, including documentation for international transfers.
IP assigned to you
A mutual NDA is signed before work begins, with work-product IP assigned to you on everything created during the engagement.
Classification handled upstream
Contractor classification is part of our contracting setup, so the exposure of engaging foreign contractors directly stays off your books.
Access stays yours
The hire works inside your SSO, your repositories and your secrets manager. You provision access and you revoke it, and we are glad to work from your standard MSA.
Biweekly · net-15
One invoice from nuen every two weeks. Contracts and international payments are handled on our side.
Vetted re-match
A re-match from the vetted shortlist after written notice of a fit issue.
1–2 weeks notice
One week part-time, two weeks full-time — to end or reduce hours. No minimum term.
Published buyout
Hire the person directly on salary-based terms stated in the contract from day one.
