Stop looking. I'm your recruiter. I have 5+ years placing talent across LATAM and beyond, and tech is my main industry. I've filled roles across 8+ verticals including fintech, ops, sales, and engineering, working with clients in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and the US. I'm also a psychologist. That's not a fun fact, it actually changes the way I recruit. I understand people at a different level, and that shows in the quality of every hire. Here's the thing about great candidates: they're not on job boards waiting for you. The best ones are employed, not looking, and not responding to generic outreach. Finding them requires sourcing, strategy, and a real network. I use LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Upwork, AI-powered tools like Juicebox and Exa, and a pipeline of 5,000+ profiles I've built over years of active work in this market. The numbers: shortlist delivered in 3 to 5 days, average time to hire 18 days against an industry average of 30 to 45, 85% shortlist-to-interview rate, less than 5% offer rejection rate. I'm bilingual English and Spanish, I communicate clearly, I move fast, and I stay on it from first contact to signed offer. If you want results, let's talk.
