How Inex built a 13-engineer team without hiring locally

Inex runs a shipping platform that gives Canadian businesses access to carrier rates through a single dashboard. Their product depends on integrations with FedEx, UPS, Canada Post, and other carriers that break the moment someone ships sloppy code.

They had a hiring problem that will sound familiar: growing fast, needing a full engineering team, and finding that local hiring was too slow and too expensive for the pace they needed.

What they did instead

Inex partnered with us through our Growth model. We worked directly with Mauricio Lopez, their Director of Product, to define the exact technical and cultural profile they needed. Then we recruited, vetted, and placed 13 engineers, one by one, each integrated directly into Inex's own workflow.

Not contractors on the outside. Team members with a seat at the table.

Where they are now

Every engineer at Inex today was placed through Betterfit. The team ships features weekly and keeps the carrier integrations reliable, which for a shipping platform is the whole business.

And the number that matters to whoever owns the budget: 63% savings on engineering costs compared to local hiring. Inex puts the difference back into the product.

In Mauricio's words: "Betterfit doesn't just place developers, they built our entire engineering team. Every single engineer at Inex came through them, and the quality has been consistently exceptional."

The takeaway

You do not have to choose between a slow local hiring pipeline and a marketplace full of strangers. A managed placement model gets you full-time, integrated engineers at a cost that leaves room to build.
