Which websites should a busy buyer use?

Choose a website based on the question holding up your hire. A wage benchmark helps with budget approval. A time-zone check helps you set shared hours. Neither replaces a candidate interview or a contract review.

Keep these resources beside the proposals you receive:

• BLS software developer pay for a US wage baseline.
• SHRM recruiting benchmarks for the definition and scope of time to fill.
• IANA North America and South America time-zone records for city-level clock rules.

What do the pay and hiring data say?

BLS reports a median annual wage of $135,980 for US software developers in May 2025. Use that figure as a wage baseline. Ask for a separate breakdown of benefits and service fees when comparing a provider's monthly quote.

SHRM puts median time to fill at roughly a month and a half in 2025. That measure runs from job requisition to offer acceptance for executive and nonexecutive roles. It is not a software-engineering-only benchmark.

For each proposal, record when the hiring clock starts and ends. A shortlist date, accepted offer and first working day are different milestones.

How should you compare nearshore hiring models?

Start with the work you expect the provider to own.

Then check the working schedule. Mexico City stays at UTC-6 without seasonal clock changes, while Tijuana follows US daylight saving time. IANA's North America records document those rules. Ask for the hire's city and agreed hours instead of accepting a country-wide promise of overlap.

What should you ask a provider after reading these websites?

Send the same questions with each role description:

• What does the monthly quote include, and which costs can change?
• Who assesses the skills this role needs?
• Which hours will the person share with our team throughout the year?
• What happens if the hire leaves or fails to meet the agreed requirements?
• What notice, exit costs and handover duties belong in the contract?

Ask for answers in writing so your engineering and finance leads can review the same terms.
