"Recruiting used to be a challenge, but Lupa transformed everything. Their professional, agile team delivers top-quality candidates, understands our needs, and provides exceptional personalized service. Highly recommended!"


“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 7 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.

How would you handle a scenario where a plugin conflict is causing BuddyPress to malfunction?
Look for a candidate who demonstrates a methodical approach: identifying the conflicting plugins, disabling them to restore functionality, and then re-enabling them one by one while checking for issues. A strong problem solver will also emphasize the importance of reading error logs and community resources for solutions.

Seek out candidates who focus on profiling performance bottlenecks, optimizing database queries, using caching strategies, and minimizing resource-heavy processes. Their answer should include specific tools they used and the impact of their changes.
