Kristen Marcoe

Director @ Credo AI

I’m very happy with Tecla. Their support has improved our QA process, reduced bug reports by half, and made our onboarding process twice as fast. The team is responsive, cost-effective, and delivers high-quality candidates on time. Tecla has truly become a trusted extension of our internal hiring team.

Meit Shah

Principal PM @ Stash

It was a pleasure working with Tecla. Their team quickly understood our hiring needs and found candidates that matched our technical requirements perfectly. Communication was seamless, and they were always quick to respond and deliver results. Tecla’s attention to quality made the entire experience smooth and efficient.

Mayya Bozhilova

Manager @ Three Space Lab

Tecla successfully found candidates for our team and handled the entire process from scheduling to interviews. They were timely, responsive, and always kept communication flowing through email and messaging apps. I was really impressed with Tecla’s follow-up and thoroughness throughout the process.

Jessica Warren

Head of People @ Chowly

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.

David Bradley

Founder @ QPilot

Internally, we're moving much faster than we were without the remote engineers 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.

Drew Batshaw

CTO @ Waggl

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!

Frequently asked questions

What if the workflow I have in mind is bigger than one sprint?

We'll scope the first valuable milestone that fits inside the sprint, then roadmap the rest for the next phase. We don't stretch the timeline or the price to cover more than one sprint can responsibly deliver.

Do we need our own engineering or AI team for this?

No. Your AI Systems Lead does the building. Your job is to give us access to the workflow, answer questions during discovery, and show up for weekly reviews.

Who pays for hosting, databases, and API costs?

You do, directly to the provider, and in most cases the accounts stay in your name. If you'd rather not manage vendor accounts and billing yourself, we offer a fully managed option for an additional fee, scoped once we know what the system requires.

What happens after the first AI Systems Sprint?

Most engagements move into a two-week expansion sprint, a larger pod if the next opportunity needs more than one AI Systems Lead, or a recurring managed operation if the system needs ongoing monitoring and support. Each of these is scoped and priced on its own once we know what the system needs next.

Is there a shorter or cheaper option?

Not currently. The AI Systems Sprint is a single fixed format: four weeks, $15,000. If your opportunity is smaller than that, we'll still use the full sprint to build it well and roadmap what's next, rather than shrinking the price or the timeline.

How does the Discovery Call work?

It's a short, free conversation to understand your goals and workflows, not a full discovery engagement. If it's a fit, we'll follow up with a Statement of Work confirming the exact workflow we'll build. Price and length are fixed at $15,000 for four weeks.
