The hard part at this stage
Your first ten hires decide what the company becomes, and you are choosing them with almost no signal.
The early-stage problem
Calibrated against who actually exists
Founders write the job description they wish they could fill. We show you the profiles that are genuinely available at your budget in each country, so the search starts from reality instead of from the ideal.
Rate bands before the offer
What the role pays in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, so the cash and equity split is a decision rather than a guess.
A shortlist in days
First vetted profiles inside about a week, because at this stage a two-month search is a quarter of a runway.
We tell you when not to hire
Sometimes the answer is a contractor for one quarter, not a full-time hire. We say so and show the cost of both, even when the smaller engagement is the smaller fee for us.
What we recommend at this stage
Three ways to make your first LATAM hire
At this size the question is rarely which model is optimal, but which one lets you start this month without locking anything in.
What changes at this stage
Hiring before you have a recruiting function
Founder-led hiring
You are still the recruiter. We do the sourcing and screening around that.
Cash discipline
Salary bands and total cost up front, so a hire never surprises the runway.
Same working day
LATAM overlaps US hours, so your first hires are in the room, not on a handoff.
A path forward
Contract today, EOR when it works, your own entity when the volume justifies it.
