Success stories from our clients
Dozens of companies are building outstanding teams in Latin America, the Lupa Way. Meet them:
"What I love about Lupa Hire 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.”
"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."
"We came to Lupa with a need to hire key tech and AI positions in Latin America. Our target when working with them was to find the best of the best in the region and they delivered. Their approach goes beyond what you'd expect from a headhunter with an incredible focus on match quality."
"Before Lupa Hire, we struggled to find a vendor who could match both the volume and the quality we needed to build out our senior development team in Mexico. Lupa Hire gave us real visibility into the pipeline and consistently sent us candidates who actually fit, not just resumes, but people who understood product engineering. It's made a real difference in how fast we've been able to grow the team."
“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 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."
“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.”
"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."
“The quality of candidates is great. Your pricing is reasonable. People are great to work with. I can't imagine a better experience.”
