Cloud Employee vs. BEON.tech

Nearshore Excellence Meets Global Integration

LATAM has become the go-to destination for US companies seeking timezone-aligned software development capacity. Providers like BEON.tech provide solutions in this space, connecting experienced LATAM engineers to North American teams.

But as engineering demands evolve, CTOs increasingly seek hybrid global models that combine nearshore collaboration with offshore scalability, cost transparency, and long-term retention.

Cloud Employee delivers precisely that: an embedded global augmentation model across LATAM, the Philippines, and Europe, designed to remove hiring friction and preserve delivery continuity.

BEON.tech in Context

Founded in Argentina, BEON.tech positions itself as a nearshore partner for companies scaling software teams in US time zones. Its core strength lies in connecting organisations to LATAM engineers with cultural alignment and modern technical skill sets (BEON.tech Services).

BEON.tech Core Services

1. Staff Augmentation – BEON provides dedicated LATAM engineers who integrate into client teams to extend capacity.
2. Contract-to-Hire – Enables clients to work with BEON engineers before transitioning them to full-time internal roles.
3. IT Recruitment Services (LATAM) – Recruitment for organisations hiring directly within the region.
4. Human Data & AI Training – Provides human-in-the-loop data labelling teams for AI model training and validation.

These services give BEON flexibility across employment types, catering to companies that want to mix staff augmentation with in-region recruitment or specialised AI data work.

How BEON.tech’s Staff Augmentation Compares to Cloud Employee

Like Cloud Employee, BEON also supplies vetted software engineers who integrate into client teams, maintaining time-zone alignment and agile collaboration.

However, Cloud Employee differentiates in three core ways:

• Engineering talent operates across two core regions - LATAM and the Philippines, enabling hybrid nearshore/offshore scaling.
• It offers transparent all-inclusive pricing, eliminating variable markups.
• It sustains 97%+ retention of more than two years, supported by dedicated HR, L&D, and engagement infrastructure.

In short, while BEON.tech optimises for proximity, Cloud Employee optimises for permanence - embedding engineers as integral members of your in-house team, supported by a transparent global operating framework.

Cloud Employee’s Approach: Embedded, Transparent & Retention-Focused

Cloud Employee specialises exclusively in staff augmentation, delivering full-time engineers who act as part of your team from day one.

Every candidate is vetted through a CTO-led process including pair programming, and cultural-fit interviews. Engineers are employed by Cloud Employee, removing operational burdens such as HR, compliance, and payroll while ensuring stability.

Key Features of Cloud Employee’s Model:

• CTO-led vetting and testing (live pair programming + culture-fit interviews and coding tests)
• 1–2 week average time-to-hire for engineers ready to integrate immediately.
• Transparent pricing:
  
  • LATAM engineers ≈ US $6,000/month
  • Philippines engineers ≈ US $4,500/month
    Includes salary, HR, compliance, benefits, and infrastructure - no hidden fees.
• Dedicated, full-time engineers managed directly by the client.
• 97%+ retention supported by HR and structured learning programs.
• Multi-region (LATAM + Philippines + Europe) for synchronous or 24-hour delivery.

For founders and CTOs, Cloud Employee offers the precision of direct hiring with the scalability and cost efficiency of a managed augmentation partner.

Shared Principles, Distinct Delivery

Both Cloud Employee and BEON.tech focus on connecting US organisations with highly skilled LATAM engineers. The key distinction lies in global scope, pricing transparency, and retention systems.

Both companies prioritise cultural fit and technical quality. Cloud Employee adds cost clarity, rigorous vetting including pair programming, and global flexibility, giving engineering teams a wider operating model.

Executive Insight

Nearshore delivery is valuable, but without transparency and retention, scale is short-lived. Cloud Employee combines the speed of nearshore with the depth and stability of global embedding.

Conclusion

BEON.tech provides nearshore staffing for US and Canadian companies through LATAM-based engineers. Its services include staff augmentation, contract-to-hire, and IT recruitment.

Cloud Employee, in contrast, focuses on embedded staff augmentation with transparent pricing, dual-region coverage, and CTO-vetted engineers dedicated to one client.

For technology leaders prioritising cost clarity, retention, and long-term integration, Cloud Employee provides a more scalable model - one that extends the best of nearshore delivery into a truly global framework.
