Roles we've placed
Built for startups
that move fast.
We focus on fast-growing tech companies that need the right hire — not a stack of resumes.

Hiring is broken.
We make it simple.
What founders and CTOs tell us before they work with us.
"I don't know how to find good engineers in LATAM."
We've spent 10+ years building the network you don't have time to build. We source, screen, and deliver.
"We can't afford to spend months hiring."
We focus on quality over volume. You get a curated shortlist — the right candidates, not the most. Timeline depends on the role's complexity.
"We've paid recruiters and got nothing."
We only get paid when you hire — 30 days after they start. Zero risk, zero retainers.
"We have an internal recruiter but too many open roles."
We plug in as an extension of your team — handling the search and screening while your recruiter focuses on what's already in the pipeline. More roles closed, less bottleneck.
How we work —
start to finish.
A high-touch, end-to-end process. We stay involved from the first conversation to post-hire follow-up.
Role alignment & definition
We collaborate to define the job profile, key requirements, and culture fit — going beyond the job description to understand what success really looks like for your team.
Targeted search & outreach
We proactively identify and engage talent through our LATAM network, proprietary database, direct headhunting, social networks, and referral program.
Screening & shortlist delivery
We conduct in-depth interviews and English validation, delivering a curated shortlist of candidates who are a strong technical and cultural match — quality over volume, always.
Interview support & closing
We coordinate the interview process, manage candidate expectations on both sides, and support you through the offer and negotiation to a successful close.
Post-hiring follow-up
We check in after onboarding to ensure a smooth integration. Payment is due only after your hire is settled — so you invest only when it's working.
Every critical role
your startup needs.
