Hiring is broken.
Nearshoring is how smart companies fix it.

Swiss hiring takes 4–6 months, costs a fortune, and often ends in a mismatch. We give growing companies a third option: senior engineers from Spain, embedded in your team, at 40–60% lower cost — without the wait.

Why apeirum

Not cheaper.
Just smarter.

We're not a cheaper version of Swiss hiring. We're a fundamentally different model — one that removes the constraints of local hiring without removing quality, accountability, or control.

Senior engineers only — 5+ years minimum
No juniors handed to you after the pitch. Every engineer individually vetted.
100% IP yours, written into every contract
No shared ownership, no proprietary frameworks, no strings when the engagement ends.
CET timezone — real collaboration, not async lag
Spain runs on the same timezone as Switzerland. Same standups, same sprint ceremonies.
No long-term commitments — scale up or down as needed
Flexible engagements without HR overhead. Adjust team size when your roadmap changes.

Why Spain

Swiss standards. Without the Swiss price tag —
or the Eastern-European trade-offs.

Spain's engineering ecosystem has grown up fast (Microsoft's $2.1B AI and cloud investment is one signal), and we've been building with it since 2020. But cost isn't the only reason we chose Spain over the usual nearshore destinations. See the honest comparison: Spain vs. Eastern Europe →

💵

40–60% lower cost

Senior engineers at a fraction of Swiss salaries — same quality, far lower overhead.

🛡️

Stable & EU-based

Fully inside the EU — clean GDPR, data residency, and IP. No war-zone or non-EU contracting risk to manage.

🌍

Talent that stays

Spain's quality of life keeps senior engineers in their seats — lower churn than high-volume Eastern-European shops, so your team keeps its knowledge.

🎓

Deep talent pool

30,000+ engineering graduates a year, and we know who the best ones are.

FAQ

Questions before you reach out.

The things CTOs and founders usually ask before the first call.

How is this different from a recruitment agency?
Agencies hand you CVs and disappear. We stay involved — vetting candidates, supporting onboarding, and running monthly check-ins. If something isn't working, we fix it. A recruiter's job ends when you sign. Ours doesn't.
What if the engineer isn't the right fit?
We include a risk-free pilot on every engagement. If the match isn't right in the first few weeks, we fix it β€” at no additional cost. We'd rather find the right person than bill you for the wrong one.
Do we own the code and IP?
100%, written into every contract. All work product β€” source code, documentation, architecture decisions β€” is assigned to you upon creation. No shared ownership clauses, no grey areas, no surprises when the engagement ends.
What seniority levels do you work with?
Senior only. Every engineer we place has a minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in their stack. We don't pitch seniors and deliver juniors β€” the people you meet in the interview are the people who do the work.
How quickly can a team actually be live?
Most teams are live within 2–4 weeks of the first call. That includes scoping, candidate selection, your interviews, and onboarding. The bottleneck is usually your interview availability, not ours.
