Tech recruitment exists for four specific problems

If one of these is burning your team's time right now, this model was built for you.

200 applicants

The noise

Post a developer role and the pipeline floods — most of it unqualified, all of it demanding attention. Volume was never the problem. Signal is. We source directly instead of posting, so the pipeline starts qualified.

10+ eng hours

The interview tax

Every unvetted candidate who reaches your engineers costs sprint time — screens, take-home reviews, debriefs. Multiply by a noisy pipeline and hiring becomes your team's second job. Our vetting spends our hours to protect yours.

0 lines of code

The keyword screen

A generalist recruiter matches words on a CV — “React,” “Python,” “AWS” — without ever evaluating the work. Our screens are run by technical recruiters using hands-on assessment, so “matched” means demonstrated, not mentioned.

Declined offer

The comp guess

Offers built on US intuition miss LatAm reality in both directions — too low and your finalist walks, too high and you've set a precedent. Live salary data across 20+ markets means your first offer is the credible one.

What “vetted” means, dimension by dimension

Every profile that reaches you has been matched against your brief on five dimensions — each one verified, none of them taken from a CV on faith.

Your stackTested hands-on
Demonstrated, not mentioned. Screens run in the role's actual stack — a live exercise or portfolio deep-dive with a technical recruiter, never a keyword scan.
Your seniority barCalibrated to it
Your definition of senior, not ours. Code review, system design, and scope of past ownership — scored against the scorecard you approved at kickoff.
Working EnglishInterviewed live
Assessed in conversation. Every candidate discusses technical work in English with us — meetings, writing, code review — before any certificate is taken at face value.
Your working daySame time zones
Overlap by geography, not effort. LatAm candidates share 6–8 working hours with US teams natively — confirmed against your actual meeting cadence, not a promise to adapt.
Your comp bandMatched to market
No guessing at offers. Expectations verified against live salary data across 20+ LatAm markets — typically 30–50% below US benchmarks for equivalent seniority.
The result3 interviews : 1 hire
That ratio is the product. Every gate above exists so that the profiles reaching your calendar are already decisions — not filters your engineers run for us.

The search, end to end

Permanent hires, role by role — on your payroll, on your terms

Tech recruitment is the classic search, done properly: you open a role, we deliver a vetted shortlist, you hire directly onto your own payroll. No embedded team to fund, no monthly contract to manage — a per-role engagement with a per-hire outcome.

It sits deliberately between our other models. Need capacity this month with the option to flex? That's staffing. Hiring continuously at volume? That's RPO. Building your permanent team one right hire at a time? This page.

The reframe

Most companies buy recruiting as sourcing — more candidates in the pipeline. Tech recruitment done well sells the opposite: fewer, better interviews. You're not paying us to find people. You're paying us to make every hour your engineers spend interviewing end in a decision.

Two weeks from kickoff to shortlist

  1. Brief and scorecard (days 1–2). Stack, seniority bar, comp band, and team context — approved by you before sourcing starts.
  2. Direct sourcing (days 2–7). We approach qualified engineers across 20+ LatAm markets — no job-board volume, no inbound noise.
  3. Technical screen (days 5–10). Hands-on assessment in the role's stack plus a live English interview, run by a recruiter who knows the technology.
  4. Shortlist (day 10–14). Three to five profiles with assessment notes, comp expectations, and availability — each one interview-ready.
  5. Offer and close. We benchmark the offer against local market data, manage the negotiation and notice period, and stay through the start date.

Your engineers enter the process exactly once per candidate: at the final interview, where their hour decides.

A success fee — paid only when someone starts

The model is contingency: a one-time fee per hire, due when your new engineer signs and starts. No retainers, no subscriptions, no cost for a search that doesn't close.

The larger saving is structural. Because the hire is a LatAm-based engineer on a local package, the salary itself typically lands 30–50% below US benchmarks for equivalent seniority — a saving that repeats every year the person stays, not once at signature.

And the hidden line item — your engineers' interview hours — is where the 3:1 ratio pays out: fewer interviews per hire means the sprint keeps moving while the search runs.

The risk stays on our side of the table

Replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves within the guarantee window, we rerun the search at no additional fee. Our incentive is a hire that stays, not a fee that clears.

Shortlist accountability. If the first shortlist misses your bar, we recalibrate and rebuild it — the fee is contingent, so a weak shortlist costs us, not you.

Candidate experience, protected. Every approach and rejection runs professionally under your employer brand — the engineers you don't hire remain engineers who'd still recommend you.
