What we do

Three services, few searches at a time. Everything else we decline, because a boutique that takes everything stops being one.

Replacement guarantee of 6 months

Executive and confidential search

Leadership and specialist hires that cannot be advertised. Market mapping, discreet approach, and a principal who sits in the interviews with you.

Replacement guarantee of 3 months

Senior technology direct hire

Engineering, data, product and IT roles across Latin America, hired directly by you. English screened before any profile reaches your inbox.

Fixed scope, no headcount

Hiring function build-out

We set up your process, pipeline and tooling so your team can hire in the region without us. Useful when the next 20 hires matter more than the next one.

How we work

The same four steps on every search, whatever the seniority.

  1. Briefing call

    Thirty minutes with the person who will actually run the search, not a salesperson.

  2. Mapping and direct approach

    We go to the people who are not applying anywhere, across the region.

  3. Shortlist of three

    Three qualified profiles in 3 to 10 working days, with a second wave if the first misses.

  4. Interviews to offer

    References, salary alignment and offer negotiation, with the principal in the room.

Will, Phil and Bill

Three AI agents carry the logistics. Will keeps clients updated, Phil runs candidate operations, Bill handles billing. Every message they send says it came from an agent and was reviewed by Breno Cordeiro. The judgement calls, the interviews and the shortlist stay human.

When you need people on a local payroll

Hiring in Latin America without an entity

We do not place contractors ourselves. When a role needs local employment, one of our compliance partners employs and pays the professional through its own entities across Latin American countries, and we run the search.

Track record

Client names stay confidential, including the ones that ended well. These are real searches, described the way we would describe yours to someone else.

United Nations agency

Seven years of continuous support and a confidential three-person team, hired across three continents.

Global automotive technology group

Twenty infotainment engineers in under four months, exclusive and confidential, for a product launch that could not slip.

California IT integrator

Country manager plus 35 professionals over five years, building the Latin American team.

Pharmacy retail group

More than ten confidential leadership hires in four years, on exclusivity, during a national expansion.

US creative agency

Thirty-five hires over five years across technology, design and delivery.

Data intelligence company

Two confidential commercial executives, one in Colombia and one in Mexico, to open both markets.
