We founded our talent agency in 2023 to connect competitive LatAm engineering talent with US startups. We focus on product startups and venture-backed companies, including YC companies. We source Frontend, Backend, Fullstack, and Staff Engineer talent.

We offer direct hiring, placing interview-ready engineers directly into client teams. Our Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) provides a dedicated hiring partnership. For staffing, we place talent on our books to manage payroll and compliance. Our Payroll & Employer of Record services handle contracts, onboarding, and compliance for hiring across LatAm.

Our engineers are vetted by other engineers. We operate on a results-only payment model; clients pay upon candidate signing. Gabriel Benmergui, a former Staff Engineer and engineering manager with experience at OpenSea, Robinhood, CircleMedical, and Scribd.com, founded the company.

Our goal is to be a “no-BS hiring partner,” helping startups hire engineers efficiently without prolonged interview processes. We focus on providing “top of market” talent: ambitious, high-ownership engineers prepared to thrive in startup environments.

Our core values include radical transparency regarding objectives, numbers, and decisions. Our culture promotes a results-oriented approach and a growth mindset, committed to transforming careers and scaling companies. We operate with a “No Bullshit” philosophy and have “strong opinions because we are strong.”

We are a founder-led company; our founder is a former engineering manager. We have between 1-10 employees.

For our recruiting team, we foster a culture of in-person collaboration, aiming to build close, long-lasting relationships among team members. Our team is ambitious and driven.

We consider recruiters “first-class citizens” whose work is fundamental to our success. They receive constant support from leadership and engineering to understand the industry and improve internal tools. Some roles, particularly within recruiting, operate on a hybrid model, requiring an onsite presence (e.g., 4 days a week) in locations like Palermo, CABA.

We offer competitive compensation, with recruiters receiving high commissions (approximately U$S 1000 per placement). We invest in our talent by providing hardware, office resources, education, and an internal support team for recruiters.

Our results-based organizational structure allows for uncapped income and growth opportunities. Employees benefit from structured onboarding and clear milestones. Certain roles, such as those in recruiting, may operate under a hybrid work model in CABA, Buenos Aires.
