Twenty minute call with one of the founders

A founder who has held the role runs every interview. No recruiters. No account managers. When you ask about a candidate, you speak with the person who paired with them.

No. Most engineers work with us as independent contractors, and engineers based in Peru may be employed by us directly. None are your employees. We manage the contract chain so IP assignment and confidentiality obligations flow through to you. Contractors handle their own local taxes and social security.

You pay one all-in hourly rate per engineer. We quote it on the call after we understand the stack and seniority. A rate without a role tells you only whether we are cheap. We are not the cheapest.

Latin America combines deep engineering markets with four to six hours of overlap with US working hours. Design discussions happen live, not over a 14-hour round trip. We also know this market well enough to assess engineers in context, not from resumes alone.

Say no. You pay nothing for the search, interviews, or a shortlist you decline. If we cannot find anyone we would personally vouch for, we tell you instead of padding the list.

During the first 30 days, cancel with no notice or exit fee. You pay only for days worked. After that, if the engagement stops working, we vet a replacement against the same six axes and introduce them within 5 business days.

Yes. Before you sign, your tech lead pairs with the candidate on your own problem, on camera. There is no charge and no limit on candidates. Our write-up gives you evidence; it does not replace your judgment.

AI-assisted development is one of our six vetting axes. On a task we choose, we watch the candidate work with an assistant, inspect its output, and reject bad suggestions. Blindly accepting generated code fails. Refusing to use AI at all fails too.
