10 Years Connecting
Companies Building the
Future With the Right Talent
I started Tecla with a small network of engineers across the US and South America, beginning in Peru, my home country, to help world-class companies hire the best technical talent. Over the years, we've grown into one of the most trusted AI talent networks in the industry, with vetted professionals across all major US tech hubs and 18+ countries in Latin America.
What sets us apart today is that we are one network and one partner for both onshore and nearshore AI hiring. Whether you need a senior AI engineer in San Francisco, a nearshore product team in São Paulo, or a blended team across both, we have the flexibility to fit any model. Staff augmentation, dedicated nearshore teams, executive search, or a custom mix that works for you.
We believe in quality over quantity. That's why we're recognized as one of the best recruiting firms to build a Latin America engineering team, and every year we continue to refine our vetting process to make sure our clients are always impressed by the quality of the people they can hire through Tecla

Why Go With Nearshore Over Offshore?
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, when you hire LATAM devs 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.
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.
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.
