A Top Recruitment Leader In North America
Lupa Founder Joseph Burns was named a Top 100 Recruitment Leader in North America by Atlas x Hoxo, in recognition of our people-first way to hire.
A Better Way To Build Teams In Latin America
Most recruitment firms in the region sell you speed and volume, flooding you with resumes and treating Latin America as a source of cheap labor. For us, Latin America is a source of ambition, backed by the best senior recruiters in the region who know your industry and how to spot the people who'll actually thrive in it.
We understand the appeal of hiring in Latin America for cost savings. But instead of throwing resumes at the wall to see what sticks, we pull from a database of pre-vetted applicants matched to every job description and deliver only the hand-picked candidates who actually fit your needs.
We follow an established data-driven hiring process: we define a performance profile for every role before the search begins, source the best candidate in Latin America for it, and stay with you not just until they join your company, but until they've fully adapted to the role.
There are 3 ways to work with us, and we will help you pick the one that suits you best.
Recruiting
We handpick talent that fits your culture and goals, delivering pre-vetted candidates within a week through our proven process.
Staffing
Everything in our recruiting service, plus we take care of contracts and payroll. Seamless, compliant, and stress-free.
RPO Solutions
We partner with you for a set period and embed our recruiters within your team. Same precision, care, and speed, but closer.
Why Choose Lupa
What makes Lupa Hire different from other staffing companies? The answer is a sophisticated formula we’ve refined over years of searches, built to consistently deliver the best candidates. And overall: we treat your candidates with respect.
Senior Partners, Not Junior Recruiters
We run every search only with senior Talent Partners, our in-house recruiters who specialize in your field and know the Latin American talent market first-hand. They source and vet English-fluent remote professionals across Latin America. Experience makes a difference.
A Tailored Performance Profile
The real risk isn't failing to hire, it's hiring the wrong person. Making the right hiring decision is data-driven, not guesswork, and we put that discipline to work in every search: a tailored performance profile that sets clear standards for what the role actually demands.
Latin America Specific Guidance
We help companies to hire in the region the right way, so they keep coming back. We don’t push a specific model on you based on our own recurring revenue or profit margins. Our strategic guidance and dedicated recruiters helps you pick the best country and hiring modality for your company’s current and future needs.
Technology That Keeps Us Human
We don’t use AI to run bot-led interviews or spam candidates with irrelevant jobs. Instead, our core technology is a closed-loop AI platform built by and for Latin American talent.
What Our Clients Say
Companies that keep hiring with Lupa
"Over the course of 2024, we successfully hired 9 exceptional team members through Lupa, spanning mid-level to senior roles. The quality of talent has been outstanding, and we’ve been able to achieve payroll cost savings while bringing great professionals onto our team. We're very happy with the consultation and attention they've provided us."
“We needed to scale a new team quickly - with top talent. Lupa helped us build a great process, delivered great candidates quickly, and had impeccable service”
“With Lupa, we rebuilt our entire tech team in less than a month. We’re spending half as much on talent. Ten out of ten”
“We scaled our first tech team at record speed with Lupa. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the candidates we were sent.”
“Lupa has become more than just a provider; it’s a true ally for Pirani in recruitment processes. The team is always available to support and deliver the best service. Additionally, I believe they offer highly competitive rates and service within the market.”
"Highly professional, patient with our changes, and always maintaining clear communication with candidates. We look forward to continuing to work with you on all our future roles."
“Lupa has been an exceptional partner this year, deeply committed to understanding our unique needs and staying flexible to support us. We're excited to continue our collaboration into 2025.”
"What I love about Lupa is their approach to sharing small, carefully selected batches of candidates. They focus on sending only the three most qualified individuals, which has already helped us successfully fill 20+ roles.”
"We hired 2 of our key initial developers with Lupa. The consultation was very helpful, the candidates were great and the process has been super fluid. We're already planning to do our next batch of hiring with Lupa. 5 stars."
"Working with Lupa for LatAm hiring has been fantastic. They found us a highly skilled candidate at a better rate than our previous staffing company. The fit is perfect, and we’re excited to collaborate on more roles."
"We compared Lupa with another LatAm headhunter we found through Google, and Lupa delivered a far superior experience. Their consultative approach stood out, and the quality of their candidates was superior. I've hired through Lupa for both of my companies and look forward to building more of my LatAm team with their support."
“We’ve worked with Lupa on multiple roles, and they’ve delivered time and again. From sourcing an incredible Senior FullStack Developer to supporting our broader hiring needs, their team has been proactive, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. It really feels like we’ve gained a trusted partner in hiring.”
Working with Lupa was a great experience. We struggled to find software engineers with a specific skill set in the US, but Lupa helped us refine the role and articulate our needs. Their strategic approach made all the difference in finding the right person. Highly recommend!
Lupa goes beyond typical headhunters. They helped me craft the role, refine the interview process, and even navigate international payroll. I felt truly supported—and I’m thrilled with the person I hired. What stood out most was their responsiveness and the thoughtful, consultative approach they brought.
Talking about Lupa, I would say: these are the people you want to work with. They understand what consultancies are like. They understand that they could work for a month on a req, only to have it pulled because a client contract didn’t go through. You understand our business model, and that is invaluable.

What We Believe
Five principles shape how we work with clients, with candidates, and with each other.
Ethics of Care
People come first. We treat every client, candidate, and colleague with warmth, empathy, and respect. That care shapes the questions we ask, the feedback we share, and the relationships we stay responsible for.
Match Quality
A hire is more than a resume matching a job description. We align skills, motivations, values, and role outcomes so every candidate presentation has a clear reason behind it and a better chance to last.
Learning Focused
Every search teaches us something. We study the market, use scientific evidence, peer-review our work, invite candid feedback, and use what we learn to sharpen the next decision.
Radical Transparency
Transparency is at the heart of the Lupa Way. We believe in honest conversations, frequent updates, and open debate to get to the best solutions. With us, there are no surprises. Just clear communication and mutual trust at every step of the process.
Cultural Competency
Lupa was built in Latin America by people who live and work here. We understand the market and the cultures around it, then translate that context into stronger searches and working relationships.
