I've recruited for 200+ US companies. The mistake most founders make? Treating hiring like a transaction. We don't just source, we interview, and you get a file per candidate.
Trusted by founders from 200+ US companies
No generic shortlists. No cookie-cutter pipelines. Every search is run by someone who's actually built engineering teams, so we know what works and what doesn't.
You own the contractor relationship. No ongoing agency fees after placement, just a one-time fee based on annual salary.
Technical assessments, async communication evaluation, startup culture fit, not just keyword matching on a resume.
Growth-focused leaders who need specialized LatAm talent fast, without building a recruiting operation internally.
Same seniority, same quality, LatAm markets are priced differently. You keep the savings without sacrificing talent.
