We augmented our US-based software engineering team since we started in 2022. We have worked with Nexton engineers from Brazil, Argentina and Colombia. They have contributed  extensively with our core software development, production support, DevOps, and test automation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Nexton engineers have been an integral part of our software development team since 2022. Their time-zone alignment, strong English proficiency, technical expertise, and familiarity with our software stack have made them core contributors to our Product and Engineering organization. Together, we have built a resilient, efficient, and comprehensive clinical platform that our company, staff, and patients can rely on. The Nexton team continues to help us deliver innovative capabilities while maintaining the quality, reliability, and scalability of our platform.

Our Nexton engineers deliver their work timely and several have gone above and beyond expectations. 

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

Nexton has been a trusted partner for many years. They genuinely care about connecting companies with high-caliber talent and helping startups succeed. Their team has consistently been responsive, attentive, and committed to addressing any needs or concerns we have brought to them.

While invoicing is generally smooth, it has occasionally required some back-and-forth. Streamlining this process would be one area for improvement.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Traffic by Intent is am AI-powered performance marketing company that manages large-scale paid search programs for our clients, with an in-house engineering team building the automation and tooling that runs those programs. I lead the engineering team and own our technical hiring, which is how I worked with Nexton.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nexton?

We needed to hire a senior software engineer.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nexton has been sourcing and pre-interview screening candidates for us.

What is the team composition?

We've been working with 2–5 members of Nexton's team.

How did you come to work with Nexton?

Someone referred Nexton to me.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2026, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We've hired a candidate through Nexton, and they've had a strong performance since joining. The candidate has been with our team for eight months, and they've been meeting deadlines and contributing meaningfully.

For example, the candidate has taken ownership of a legacy internal tool that had become fragile and rebuilt it as a production service our operations team now relies on daily. The candidate carried it from prototype through validation with real users, handled shifting requirements from non-technical stakeholders gracefully, and owns production issues themselves, including diagnosing and fixing a critical failure the same day it appeared. The rebuild replaced hours of manual work per engagement with an automated workflow.

Moreover, the candidate has authored the design proposal for the system's next generation and presented it to the team for comment. That progression from executing assigned work to proposing architecture is exactly the growth we hoped for when we brought them on.

How did Nexton perform from a project management standpoint?

Nexton's project management has been organized and low-overhead. The team has run a clear process from discovery to kickoff, kept a short standing sync on the calendar so nothing drifted, and followed up proactively when the ball was in our court rather than letting things stall. We never set a hard deadline, but from kickoff to a completed hire with a background check in hand took about eight weeks, spanning the holidays, which beat our expectations. Candidate flow overall was steady, and the operational pieces like background checks were handled without us having to ask. Our primary forms of communication have been virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive or unique about them?

Nexton's consistency in following up and tracking threads has been impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nexton's pipeline consistency could improve. Candidates tend to arrive in cohorts instead of a steady stream, so we sometimes have difficulty staggering interviews. It would be better if we could have a few candidates in the first round, some in the second round, and a few in the final round instead of everyone arriving all at once at one stage or another.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of Snowday, a search platform that helps teens, parents, and educators easily find high school extracurriculars, summer programs, internships, courses, and competitions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nexton?

We needed to hire a head of operations and finance.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nexton helped us define the role better, recruit, manage the first screening interview and the first project test, send me notes and info, and manage the pipeline of candidates. They also helped me think strategically in choosing the best candidates.In terms of deliverables, they provided a shortlist of candidates and interview reports.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Nexton.

How did you come to work with Nexton?

I knew Diego, the founder, and heard good things about Nexton.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March to August 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We hired someone who was good, but we did a trial, and it didn't work out. Then, Nexton helped us find someone else who has turned out to be a much better fit, and I'm very happy.

How did Nexton perform from a project management standpoint?

Nexton delivered on time and had very strong project management skills. In terms of communication, we used email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Nexton worked the way I wanted to work — they communicated everything succinctly on Slack. The team was very efficient but delivered high-quality work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We wasted time and money on the first trial hire, so preventing that from happening would have been preferred. However, Nexton was very good in this situation, and we got to a place where I'm delighted.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a senior engineering manager at PathPoint. We’re an online platform that enables insurance agents to quickly quote and bind E&S insurance coverage for small businesses through a single, streamlined submission process.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Nexton?

We needed to hire a software engineer for one of my teams.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Nexton has sourced and placed an engineer for us. The engineer works on the Pathpoint platform as part of the supply expansion team, contributing to product development and maintenance work. Their work involves implementing requested updates, fixing issues, debugging, and helping move code through review. The engineer uses our existing tech stack and tools, including the application codebase, GitHub-based code review workflow, and the team’s usual development and debugging tools.

What is the team composition?

We work with one engineer from Nexton.

How did you come to work with Nexton?

Someone referred Nexton to me.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2026, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Nexton’s support has helped us keep product development moving, complete requested code changes, resolve bugs, and maintain engineering velocity. Success is reflected in shipped updates, closed issues, reviewed and merged pull requests, faster turnaround on engineering tasks, and added team capacity for ongoing web application development and maintenance.

How did Nexton perform from a project management standpoint?

Nexton’s role has been more focused on sourcing and supporting the placement of the engineer rather than managing day-to-day project delivery. Project management, prioritization, and timelines are handled internally by our team. From that perspective, Nexton has delivered on their part by helping us find and onboard the engineer. The ongoing work is managed through our internal engineering process rather than by Nexton directly.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What stands out most is Nexton’s ability to help us find engineering support that fits into our existing team and workflow. Since we manage the day-to-day product and engineering work internally, the most valuable part of working with Nexton has been the sourcing and placement process rather than traditional project delivery. The engineer has been able to contribute within our existing stack, tooling, and review process, which has made the support useful without requiring a separate project management layer.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nothing major comes to mind.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Nexton has been instrumental in pinpointing and pre-screening crucial engineering talent to drive forward our software product development, a key factor in our business's success and expansion.

On the second anniversary of our partnership, we have been able to grow our engineering organization to include 6 top-notch engineers from 4 countries in Latin America, all with super technical skills, great written and spoken English, charismatic, enthusiastic, and all-around great human beings. 

This is possible only if you have a great company doing a lot of the heavy lifting which is what Nexton has done for us. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

1) Hiring: The hiring and proper introduction of engineers to our company and culture. Six engineers in less than 2 years. 

2) On-time software delivery: The ultimate success metric is our team's actual successful delivery of software products. Delivery has happened on time and on budget. 

3) On-going pipeline: Nexton delivered an updated pipeline of candidates and, through automation and keen human attention, provided updates multiple times a week on every candidate that we chose to interview. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

While an entire team behind Nexton communicated with us daily, I was also assigned a focal person to be the project manager. She was available whenever needed, willing to listen, respond, and tackle our multiple demands with a high level of precision, professionalism, and follow-ups. From a project management standpoint, you can't get any better than this. Always everything has been delivered on time as as advertised. 

What was your primary form of communication with Nexton?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

• Automated integrated communication bots with our Slack. 
• Their responsiveness and keen attention to detail were impressive.
• A very consistent flow of candidates from many different countries. 
• I felt like I didn't have to say much, and they understood what we wanted. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Nexton could have done differently?

Some candidates had stronger pre-interviewing. Nexton delivers a steady pipeline and does a great job of filtering candidates before they get to us. We are a small, technically advanced software organization, so we rejected many candidates. There is always room to improve in this area and it is difficult to do.

Nexton demonstrated stellar project management throughout our engagement. They were spot-on with their timelines, consistently delivering on key milestones within the agreed-upon time frames:

• Timely Delivery: Whenever they promised to provide candidate profiles or schedule interviews, Nexton delivered without fail. Their ability to adhere to schedules significantly expedited our hiring process. For instance, they promised candidate profiles within a week and consistently met or exceeded that timeline, showcasing their efficiency. 
• Responsiveness to Needs: Nexton's responsiveness was exceptional. Whenever we had additional requirements or needed clarification, they were quick to respond and adapt. They were flexible and accommodating, making adjustments to their search criteria based on our evolving needs.

They went above and beyond to grasp not just the technical requirements but also the essence of our company culture.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Nexton could have done differently?

Our experience with Nexton was overwhelmingly positive. The only thing that I think would have been a little more helpful is if they could enhance their support in navigating country-specific regulations during the onboarding process. Providing more tailored guidance or resources regarding local employment laws, tax regulations, and other compliance-related aspects could better equip both the hired candidates and the hiring company.
