"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 Hire, 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 Hire 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 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 Hire, 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 Hire. 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 Hire 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 Hire 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."
"What Growth99 loves about working with Lupa Hire is how well they understand our needs. They don't just fill one role; they help us build out a whole team that fits together."
“The quality of candidates is great. Your pricing is reasonable. People are great to work with. I can't imagine a better experience.”

Top RAG Developer Interview Questions
Questions to ask RAG Developers in technical interviews
How do you implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation in production?
Look for explanation of retrievers, vector databases, and prompt construction. Bonus if they’ve used LangChain or similar orchestration frameworks.
What embedding models have you worked with?
Expect OpenAI, SentenceTransformers, Cohere, or custom-trained models. Look for understanding of trade-offs in vector quality and size.
How do you manage document chunking and context windows?
They should discuss chunk size tuning, overlap strategies, and optimizing for retrieval quality.
What vector database platforms have you used?
Look for Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, or Qdrant. Bonus if they can discuss indexing, filtering, and scaling.
How do you evaluate the quality of RAG responses?
Expect mention of grounding checks, factual consistency, retrieval accuracy, and latency benchmarks.
How do you debug hallucinations in a RAG system?
Look for inspection of retrieval quality, prompt clarity, and source document alignment with generated output.
What’s your approach when retrieval returns irrelevant documents?
Expect query reformulation, vector database tuning, re-ranking strategies, and improved chunking techniques.
Describe how you monitor the relevance of RAG responses in production.
Expect mention of human feedback loops, embeddings drift detection, or semantic similarity scoring.
How do you troubleshoot latency in large-scale RAG pipelines?
Look for batched queries, optimized embeddings, and distributed retrieval systems.
What do you do when generation contradicts retrieved sources?
Expect use of grounding logic, answer masking, or formatting that highlights original source evidence.
Describe a time you collaborated across teams to ship a model to production.
Expect coordination with MLOps, product managers, and devs—plus ownership of handoff success.
Tell me about a time your deployment failed—what did you learn?
Look for ownership, alerting improvements, and resilience through iteration.
How do you handle tension between research and engineering constraints?
Expect pragmatism, backlog balancing, and milestone planning.
Describe how you respond when metrics stop improving.
Expect root cause analysis, feature engineering pivots, or label strategy reviews.
How do you manage technical debt in ML pipelines?
Look for scheduled cleanup, modular design, and team-wide knowledge sharing.
- Misunderstands vector search performance trade-offs
- Fails to optimize retrieval for domain-specific needs
- Uses generic chunking/tokenization strategies blindly
- Weak grasp of latency and scoring mechanisms
- Overlooking fallback strategies for poor results

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.
