California’s Silicon Valley has long dominated the tech industry as the hub of global tech innovation, attracting much of the globe’s tech talent. But over recent years, tech hubs have been popping up globally, challenging the status quo. One region giving Silicon Valley a run for its money is Latin America, which is home to some of the rising tech startups.

Over recent years, the tech industry has grown exponentially and is expected to grow further in the future. But, no matter how empowering, progressive, and exciting the tech scene may seem, there’s one sector it’s lagging behind on: gender diversity. Here's how to address it.

It’s no secret that Latin America (LATAM) has experienced unprecedented economic, technological, and entrepreneurial growth in the last few years. The LATAM software industry is especially booming, generating revenue worth $22.1 billion in 2021.

Hiring freelancers and contractors lets companies target professionals with specialized skills, delegate projects efficiently without employing or training new employees, and even grow into untapped international markets.

Tech stacks should be specifically designed according to every company’s IT requirements and goals. While frontend design often takes the spotlight, having a robust, powerful backend is essential for building high performing apps.

Most startups’ budgets for recruiting and maintaining full-time talent are often prohibitive. The looming recession will further strain the company’s hiring budget, affecting your growth plans. So, you must take temporary relief strategies during such economic times to ensure that you survive and thrive while keeping an eye on the overall business goals.

Throughout the year, tech companies have laid off workers and put the brakes on hiring. Even tech giants famous for having deep pockets and near-limitless amenities for employees, including Twitter, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, and more, have announced layoffs and hiring freezes. Here's how you can help recession-proof your startup by partnering with a professional tech recruitment agency.

In an ever-competitive economy, businesses are looking for traditional hiring alternatives to save on costs. Among the hiring approaches that companies consider include staff augmentation and consulting. It’s common for startups to compare both alternatives when determining how to best achieve their development goals and objectives.

During a recession, keeping your operations stable and hiring based on need is vital. Although most startups' instinctive responses would be to halt hiring or postpone essential projects, this doesn't have to be the case. According to talent acquisition professionals, keeping your long-term goals top of mind, pursuing projects that produce ROI, and retaining existing talent are advisable.

Discovering the ideal tech professionals for a specific software development project can be tough. Luckily, businesses can leverage the benefits of IT staff augmentation in order to round out their dedicated teams and ramp up their next project. Here’s how this talent solution offers companies a competitive advantage and powers the most ambitious product goals.

Recruiting a full-time developer can cost a company between $28,548 - 35,685 dollars per hire. Many startups prefer to enlist the services of a professional software developer recruitment agency to get guidance and support for sourcing the best talent for the company. An agency will hasten the pursuit of your future employee and help scale the hiring process.

In a labor market as tight as the one we are in today, staff augmentation services are a great way for your engineering leaders to scale their teams quickly and effectively with top global talent.

Hiring new employees for any company can be pretty challenging. But for tech startups, it can be even more difficult. Hiring is slow, and this can be especially risky for a startup that needs to ramp up its hiring plan fast due to recent funding.

When something goes wrong with a Node.js application, developers require on-the-ground insights to track down and fix the bug. To that end, it’s important to choose an effective Node.js monitoring tool.

The idea behind remote staff augmentation is to fill skill gaps in projects using talented remote workers. It’s becoming a buzzword in IT because it allows companies to keep control of a project while hiring a top remote worker to take on key elements of a project.

When it comes to choosing remote global teams, there are two schools of thought. You can select remoters within matching time zones of your company. For example, if you’re a U.S. company, your distributed team could be located in Latin America so that you have up to 8 hours of overlap. Or, you can opt for opposite time zones, such as managing a distributed team in China with 0 hours of overlap.

When you first start working from home, you may imagine chilling on the couch in your pajamas with your laptop. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Except for the couch isn’t actually that comfortable after an hour and your pajamas aren’t really that great for getting work done.
