FL Betances & Asociados · Dominican Republic · Since 1996
Active clients in the United States, Mexico and Central America.
Offshore teams in Asia save on rates but cost you a day on every handoff. A nearshore team in the Dominican Republic works while you work.
The Dominican Republic runs on Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) all year: the same clock as New York during daylight saving time and one hour ahead in winter. That means full overlap with U.S. Eastern and Central working hours.
Santo Domingo has daily direct flights to Miami, New York and other U.S. hubs, so onboarding visits and quarterly check-ins are easy to schedule.
Engineers join your stand-ups, code reviews and incident calls live. No overnight handoffs, no waiting until tomorrow for an answer.
Candidates we present meet a professional technical-English standard for day-to-day collaboration with U.S. teams.
Roles we staff: software developers (front-end, back-end, full-stack), QA and testing, DevOps and cloud operations, project managers, and help desk / technical support engineers. We also place administrative, operations and accounting professionals when your team needs them.
The clock starts when you define the profile. Three roles with the same profile means nine candidates. If a profile is unusual in the Dominican market, we tell you right away and give you a timeline up front.
At your request, we retrain the professional, fix the issue or replace them. There is no extra fee for the replacement during the first two months, and we only bill for the professional actively in service, at the agreed rates.
You share feedback; we run the review and follow up with the professional, so issues get addressed early.
Talent quality backed by international certifications: FL Betances has been a Certiport partner since 2013 and was named Certiport Regional Partner of the Year LATAM 2026. We can validate and certify talent through Certiport programs such as Microsoft Office Specialist and Microsoft Fundamentals.
With staff augmentation, you direct the work. If you would rather hand off an outcome under service levels, that is managed services — see the comparison below.
| Model | Who directs the work | Employer of record | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff augmentation (FL Betances) | You. Professionals join your team and follow your priorities and processes. | FL Betances, in the Dominican Republic | You need skills or capacity fast and want to keep control of the work. |
| Managed services | The provider runs an ongoing function against service levels (SLAs). | The provider | You want a function, such as a support desk, operated for you. |
| Project outsourcing | The provider delivers a defined scope and manages its own team. | The provider | Scope and deliverables are clear and you are buying an outcome. |
| Independent contractors | You manage each individual directly. | None — the contractor is self-employed; vetting, contracts and classification risk sit with you. | Short, well-defined tasks you can source and manage yourself. |
“In 30 years we have had no court cases arising from how we hire, administer, and end employment relationships with our collaborators.”
Founded in 1996. Placing professionals with companies in the financial, telecommunications and industrial sectors since 1997. We also serve companies operating in the Dominican Republic on-site, remote or hybrid.
With staff augmentation, professionals join your team and you direct their daily work: you keep control of priorities, code and process. With outsourcing, you hand a function or project to a provider that manages the people and is accountable for the result. Choose staff augmentation when you need capacity or specific skills inside your team; choose outsourcing when you want to buy an outcome. With FL Betances, professionals stay on our Dominican payroll, so you take on no employer obligations in the Dominican Republic.
A managed services provider runs an ongoing function, such as a support desk or infrastructure, under service levels and decides how it is staffed. Staff augmentation gives you dedicated professionals who work inside your team under your direction. If you want control and tight integration with your team, choose staff augmentation. If you want a function operated for you, choose managed services.
Consultants usually advise or deliver a defined engagement for a limited time. Independent contractors can be flexible, but you handle vetting, contracts, day-to-day management and the risk of misclassification or local labor exposure yourself. Staff augmentation sits in between: dedicated professionals under your direction, with employment, payroll and local compliance handled by FL Betances as their employer in the Dominican Republic. You are billed monthly only for the professionals actively in service.
We present 3 candidates per role within 3 business days, counted from the moment you define the profile. If the profile is unusual in the Dominican market, we tell you right away and give you a specific timeline before we start.
At your request, we retrain the professional, fix the issue or replace them. During the first two months there is no extra fee for the replacement, and we only bill for the professional actively in service, at the agreed rates. Replacements follow the same timeline as the original search.
No. Your professionals are employed by FL Betances in the Dominican Republic, and we invoice you monthly for the service from the Dominican Republic. We handle payroll, benefits, TSS and DGII filings and local labor compliance.
Tell us the roles, seniority and start date you have in mind, and our team will get back to you.
