Frequently Asked Questions

By combining technology, tools, and the best recruitment professionals in the region, we offer world-class tech companies a way to source and connect with top tech talent in Latin America. We offer recruitment and candidate sourcing solutions for companies that want to hire candidates directly (direct-hire). If you want us to be your employer of record and also take care of admin, legal, HR, or payments, we also offer a staff augmentation solution.

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.

Our leadership team built TECLA as a way for world-class tech teams in the U.S. to scale their teams with LATAM talent, so we know what both employers 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.

We build custom pricing solutions for clients depending on their needs. We are the most flexible way to hire in Latin America. We aren’t a product development shop or agency. We are a talent acquisition partner to our clients, so we can work in a variety of ways depending on what is best for each individual company.

We focus our efforts on helping companies hire long-term, full-time, talent. It’s the same process for both recruitment and staff augmentation. The only difference is that in staff augmentation TECLA becomes the employer of record for all of your hires. We take on HR, admin, legal, payments, and anything else you need to be fully compliant when hiring in Latin America. In recruiting, companies are doing the hiring on their own, so they must have their own processes in place to hire talent in Latin America (i.e. payments, contracts, legal, etc.).

Upwork is made for gig-work and it’s very focused on freelance talent, while Toptal is more focused on short-term augmentation needs. They are both great if you are looking for some extra hands. TECLA, however, focuses on helping world-class tech companies expand their own recruitment into Latin America. 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.

Our partner Plane handles payroll, benefits, and compliance for all of our hires. You can use Pilot to easily hire and pay full-time employees and contractors in 100+ countries throughout the world.
