The short answer

Pick NeuronHire if you're filling a hard engineering role and want an engineer to run the technical interview before you ever see a profile. Pick Revelo if a shortlist in 48 to 72 hours matters more. Both are LATAM-only, both bill month-to-month, and both let you hire the engineer directly.

Choose NeuronHire if…

  • You're a 15 to 200 person startup filling a hard engineering role without an in-house recruiter.
  • You're hiring a hard-to-find specialist, like an agentic AI engineer, an AI product engineer, or a data, DevOps or security engineer, where a polished résumé and real depth are easy to confuse.
  • You want every candidate screened by an engineer, with notes on their technical skills before you meet them.
  • You'd rather wait a few extra days for a shortlist that's already been tested.

Choose Revelo if…

  • You need candidates in front of you within 48 to 72 hours.
  • You want to ballpark the budget from a published price before the first call.
  • You'd like a longer trial: Revelo's runs 14 days, and you only pay if you hire.

Why NeuronHire

Why engineering leaders pick NeuronHire over Revelo

What changes when engineers run the vetting, and how we keep your commitment low.

Engineers run every technical interview

As of October 2026, 80% of the NeuronHire team has engineering backgrounds, and every technical interview is run by an engineer. Candidates work through technical challenges and real-world scenarios before their profile ever reaches you.[9]

Built for hard-to-find roles, not volume

We send 2 to 3 engineers per shortlist, not a long list to sort through. Each search is built around one role, and much of our work today is in specialized AI roles: full-stack AI engineers, agentic systems engineers, backend AI engineers. Every profile comes with our notes from the technical interview.

AI for sourcing, humans for decisions

Our in-house platform handles sourcing, pipeline management and AI matchmaking. Every evaluative and technical interview, and every hiring recommendation, is done by people.[9]

Low commitment, with a way out

Month-to-month billing, no long-term contract and a 7-day trial: if it's not working, we replace or refund. If the engineer works out, you can hire them full-time with a conversion fee agreed upfront.[6]

Deep dive 1 of 4

Who runs the technical interview at Revelo vs NeuronHire?

It's the first thing I'd ask any hiring partner, because it decides what lands on your calendar. At NeuronHire, an engineer runs every technical interview. Revelo describes a careful screening process, but it doesn't name who runs the technical tests, and its own comparison pages call the pre-screen recruiter-led.[9][8][4]

NeuronHire

Engineers screen before you do

  1. 1We align on your stack, hiring goals, team culture and comp range on a kickoff call.
  2. 2Our platform sources and matches from thousands of LATAM engineers.
  3. 3Candidates work through technical challenges and real-world scenarios, and an engineer runs the technical interview.
  4. 4You get 2 to 3 engineers within 7 days, each with notes from our technical interview. You can still run your own technical interview to dig into anything specific.
Revelo

In-market recruiters curate the shortlist

  1. 1You share your requirements.
  2. 2Candidates are identity-checked and skills-tested, with soft-skills and English-fluency interviews.

How does Revelo pricing compare to NeuronHire?

Revelo wins on transparency, and I'd rather say it plainly. Its pricing page lists $111k to $128k a year for a senior full-stack engineer with 6+ years, so you can ballpark the budget before a call. We share pricing on the first call, with no hidden fees.[2][6][9]

NeuronHire

Priced on the first call

  • Pricing shared on the intro call, no hidden fees.
  • Month-to-month billing, no long-term contract.
  • Pause whenever, and scale up or down as your roadmap changes.
  • Benchmark salaries first with our LATAM salary calculator.
Revelo

Published ranges

Deep dive 3 of 4

What happens if a hire doesn't work out?

Both give you a way out in the first weeks. Revelo's trial is longer: 14 days, and you only pay if you hire. Ours is 7 days, and if it's not working, we replace or refund.[6][8][1][4]

NeuronHire

7-day trial, replace or refund

  • If it's not working in the first 7 days, we replace or refund.
  • Replacements come at no extra cost, and we keep you posted on the timeline.
  • After the trial, your contract sets the warranty window for replacements.
Revelo

14-day risk-free trial

  • No cost if the match doesn't work out in the first 14 days.
  • Revelo backfills the role.

Deep dive 4 of 4

What support do you get after the engineer starts?

Here the two models differ more than they compete. Revelo bundles payroll, benefits, taxes and compliance into one rate across 18 countries. We support payroll and compliance through EOR partners where needed, and put our effort into keeping the engineer around.[9][8][1][3]

NeuronHire

Retention built in

  • Retention support: compensation, wellness perks and upskilling.
  • Payroll and compliance support, with EOR partners where needed.
  • Hire the engineer full-time whenever you're ready, with a conversion fee agreed upfront.

When Revelo may be the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right partner than the wrong one with us. In a few situations Revelo is the better call, and it's worth being straight about them.

  • You need candidates this week. Revelo advertises a shortlist in 48 to 72 hours; ours takes up to 7 days.
  • Your budget needs a number before the first call. Revelo publishes price ranges and a savings calculator.
  • You're hiring at volume across many stacks. Revelo reports 2,500+ client companies and a network of 400K+ engineers. If you're filling one or two hard-to-find roles instead, a smaller shortlist built around that role usually fits better.
  • You want payroll, benefits and compliance bundled into a single rate across 18 countries.
