By combining AI, a vetted talent network, and the best talent acquisition teams in the region, we offer world-class tech companies a way to work with the best tech talent in Latin America. We offer staffing, dedicated teams, and custom development for companies that want to build great software while getting time zone alignment and higher-quality output.

This varies depending on each job’s requirements, but on average we introduce candidates within a week of starting.

We have 40,000+ senior engineers and 10,000+ tech professionals in 18 different countries across Latin America in our network, and 100,000+ candidates in total reach. We are growing ~10% month-over-month.

We built TECLA as a way for world-class tech teams in the U.S. to scale their teams with top nearshore talent, so we are very aware of what both U.S. companies and candidates are looking for. We also have our own past experience developing cutting-edge software products. We know the candidate side, but we also deeply understand the level of talent that top tech companies need. Most of our clients tell us this is where we really excel compared to other solutions in the market

Our pricing model is an all-inclusive monthly rate per resource or team. This monthly rate includes everything from talent matching, vetting, and managing all of the HR, legal, admin, and performance management for your nearshore team. Head to our Pricing page to get a better idea of what our hourly and monthly rates look like depending on your specific needs

Upwork is made for short-term spot work and it’s very focused on freelance candidates who are juggling multiple projects. Toptal is more focused on short-term (and very expensive) augmentation needs. They are both great if you are looking for some extra hands. TECLA is different. We focus on helping world-class tech companies work with the best nearshore talent on long-term engagements that make each candidate feel a part of the team, without the HR and hiring headaches. We are ideal partners for companies that are looking for long-term, core team members. Our network is made up of talent that is career-driven and not gig-oriented.

Yes, we’ll be your Employer of Record and completely handle payroll, benefits, and compliance, and so much more. You’ll also get a Success Manager assigned who is in charge of making sure your nearshore teams are working at top productivity. We do this by having a fast and effective onboarding process for each team member, focusing on bi-directional feedback, coaching and mentoring, and supporting your team in every way possible. From HR and payroll matters to equipment and more.
