When we started our recruiting initiatives for LATAM developers, it was crucial for us to rely on a company that could provide deep local expertise to help us identify the best software developers in Latin America. The teams at TECLA really go the extra mile to understand our needs, which is what has made our partnership so successful!

Internally, we're moving much faster than we were without the developers TECLA recruited for us and we've been able to implement far more features. Once we brought on our first full-time designer in South America, it made the quality of our user interface, product, and marketing efforts increase substantially.

TECLA's business model and team set our company up with engineers that we have the real possibility of working with long-term and can grow with our business. TECLA came in highly recommended, and their pace from introduction to engagement to presenting candidates was very fast.

Quotes
I started TECLA to help bridge the gap between top software developers in Latin America and world-class companies in the U.S. that understand that great talent is everywhere.

We immediately discovered an increasing need for other types of profiles, such as designers, data scientists, virtual assistants, sales reps, and more.

It’s been many years of hard work, and we’ve succeeded in building one of the most elite communities of talent from hubs like Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru (my home country), Brazil, and over 18 countries in LatAm so that you don’t have to.

When companies ask us how we’ve done this so effectively, I always tell them we’ve used cutting-edge technology to make the recruitment process more human than ever.

Why is Recruiting in Latin America a Smarter Alternative?

Top tier talent

Top-tier Talent

With over a million software developers, Latin America is a huge tech hub with untapped talent. World-class universities, programming schools, tech accelerators, and a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem are constantly improving the level of technical talent in the region, and TECLA is at the very center of it all.

Time zones

Collaborate seamlessly, and in real-time, with your developers in Central and South America. The vast majority of developers and tech professionals in LatAm work between U.S. Pacific Time and one or two hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time. This is a huge advantage for companies that understand the value and benefits of overlapping schedules across their organization.
Timezones
English

English

As work becomes more remote and distributed, fluid English communication in both oral and written forms is imperative. In recognizing this importance, the Latin American developer community at TECLA consistently exceeds expectations amongst our clients.

Soft Skills

Developers in Latin America score highly in soft skills, making them an excellent asset for teams working remotely or in fast-paced environments. Today, software developers are expected to do much more than just code, and soft skills are something we at TECLA are very keen on coaching candidates on to help them improve.
Soft Skills
Cultural fit

Cultural Fit

When recruiting internationally, there are many locations and different continents to consider, but few that provide as high of a level of cultural similarity as Latin America. Tech professionals and software developers in Latin America understand what it’s like to work with U.S., Canadian, and European teams.

Infrastructure

LATAM has come a very long way in the last two years in terms of infrastructure, high-speed internet availability, and the work-from-home model overall. When considering expanding your team internationally, you can count on software developers in Latin America to have access to the equipment and tools needed to work with your team without any technical issues.

FAQs About Hiring Latin American Software Developers

How to find top software developers in Latin America?
Sourcing the best engineering talent in Latin America is no easy feat. The process involves identifying the most qualified profiles, reaching out to them and building personal relationships, screening their experience and English levels, and much more. Partnering with a company like TECLA means you avoid having to do all of this leg work. We’ve built relationships and screened the very best talent in 16 different countries across Latin America so that you don’t have to start from scratch. With competition for LatAm talent at an all-time high, getting access to a network filled with elite candidates who you could have immediate conversations with is a huge benefit to your hiring strategy.
What are some of the top destinations for hiring in LatAM?
Every country in Latin America has different benefits and drawbacks. Ultimately, you can find the right person in any country in Latin America thanks to remote work, but the main tech hubs today revolve around Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia. There are thousands of elite software developers in smaller countries like Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, and Uruguay, but which country is right for you depends on the type of talent you are looking for, budget, cultural considerations, and several other parameters.

Contact us so that we can use your objectives to devise a strategy and hiring plan for you, free of charge.
How much do software development professionals earn in Latin America?
This definitely varies a bit depending on the profile and the job’s requirements. However, the very best bi-lingual software developers in Latin America, like the ones who are part of our network, are on average earning $60,000 - $80,000 annually. This range will also vary greatly depending on if your position offers local payroll benefits.

Contact us and we’ll be happy to give you some more specific salary ranges for engineers, designers, and other tech professionals in countries like Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and many others in LatAm.
