"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."
"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."
“The quality of candidates is great. Your pricing is reasonable. People are great to work with. I can't imagine a better experience.”
"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."

Book a Consultation Call
I help companies hire exceptional talent in Latin America. My journey took me from growing up in a small town in Ohio to building teams at Capital One, Meta, and eventually Rappi, for which I moved from Silicon Valley to Colombia and had to recruit a local tech team from scratch. That’s where I realized traditional recruiting was broken, and how much available potential there was in Latin American talent. Almost ten years later, I still work closely with Latin American professionals, both for my company and for clients. They know US business culture, speak great English, work in the same time zones, and bring strong skills and dedication at a better cost. We have helped companies like Rappi, Globant, Capital One, Google, and IBM build their teams with top talent from the region.
