BetterWay Devs, a boutique IT staffing and recruiting firm specializing in nearshore talent solutions for U.S. and North American companies, ranked No. 40 among Human Resources companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000, a category typically dominated by much larger firms, while placing No. 1,347 overall nationally.
Company Recognized for 262% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation's Most Successful Independent Businesses
MIAMI, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BetterWay Devs today announced it has ranked No. 40 among Human Resources companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, and No. 1,347 overall. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the economy's future. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Patagonia, and fellow nearshore IT staffing firm BairesDev.
The Human Resources category on the Inc. 5000 is typically led by large-scale staffing platforms and PEOs, making BetterWay Devs' No. 40 placement notable for a boutique nearshore recruiting agency competing against companies many times its size. BetterWay Devs also ranked No. 78 among companies in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale metro area and No. 163 among all Florida honorees on this year's list.
BetterWay Devs works with companies across industries and of every size, from nonprofits to fast-growing startups and established companies scaling their engineering, because they're all looking for the same thing: technical talent they can count on for the long run, not just a resume to fill a seat. That approach is built on transparency and real support for the developers behind it, creating quality, long-term jobs for engineers across the Americas, whether that means placing a dedicated team member or running the hiring process from search to offer.
"Before 2021, we were a small software development agency, but we kept seeing the same problem: companies were using suppliers with high rotation; they needed a better way to build long-term relationships with great technical talent," said Pablo Velasquez, CEO & Founder of BetterWay Devs. "That's what led us to rebrand as BetterWay Devs and build our model around transparency and long-term value for both our clients and the talent we place. Ranking No. 40 in Human Resources on the Inc. 5000 is proof that the model works; we keep growing because our clients grow with the talent we provide and then they request more talent, and because those relationships are built to last."
This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and collectively, these companies have added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

"Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement."
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
