Which one should you pick?
Choose Revelo if…
- Speed and pool depth. A 400,000-developer network and a 48-hour shortlist are things a boutique agency cannot replicate.
- If you need EOR built in — payroll, benefits, local compliance across 18 countries — that is their core product and an add-on for us.
- Month-to-month flexibility if you are unsure how long you need someone.
Choose Nexus if…
- You are hiring outside engineering — finance, operations, executive assistants, marketing — where a developer marketplace has thin coverage.
- You would rather have someone run the search than filter a marketplace yourself.
- You want the salary band published before you start.
For a single engineering hire where speed matters most, Revelo's pool and 14-day average are hard to beat. Nexus is the better fit for non-engineering roles, for teams that want a managed search rather than a marketplace, and for buyers who want pricing visible up front.

Questions people ask
Is Revelo's talent pool really larger?
Yes, by orders of magnitude — they state 400,000+ registered developers. Pool size and placement quality are different things, but if raw availability is your constraint, that is a genuine advantage.
Does Nexus handle payroll like Revelo?
Only on the Staffing plan, where payroll and compliance are included in a monthly retainer. On the Placement plan you contract the person directly. Revelo builds EOR into the core product.
