Building trust can sometimes backfire in hiring. When Mexican tech specialists join coding challenges, they often start with casual conversations. It’s a cultural way of building rapport. However, hiring managers from the US sometimes misinterpret this. They may see it as avoiding the technical part of the interview. This misunderstanding leads to: → Overlooking highly qualified candidates. → Dismissing talent because of communication style differences. Instead, hiring managers should: → Appreciate cultural nuances. → Focus on skills, not assumptions. Don’t let cultural differences block top talent. _ Want to drive growth & cut costs? → Go Globy

I met Brian through a connection in Contrarian Thinking, and he really opened my eyes to the potential for nearshoring skilled talent for my post-acquisition strategy. I used to think you could only hire virtual assistants like this, but you can get amazing qualified hires for everything from Project Management to Full Stack Developers through nearshoring companies! Whether you're starting a new business, already running a company, or looking to buy one the ability to streamline operations and decrease staffing costs through nearshoring can really change the game.

Why companies do not understand this, and prefer an external company to be in middle and take it’s portion of the cake, between company and employees payments? Is it not better to direct hire as a contractor, pay better to employees and avoid the costs of having an external company? Just asking!

Today is my last day at Karat. It’s 5 am in Mexico, and I can’t sleep. 😪 Back in 2013, and for the next 10 years, I worked as a Technical Recruiter, partnering with some of the top companies in Silicon Valley and hiring the best engineers through Google-style interview processes. To hire the best of the best, I remember we would conduct around 100 interviews just to hire one person. The interview process was incredibly unfair because some candidates would get really tough interviewers. Even great candidates who simply had a bad day or faced a tough interviewer wouldn't pass the interviews and ultimately wouldn't get hired at the company I was working for. However, these same candidates would go on to land jobs at other top-tier companies like Google and Facebook. But because of a flawed interview process, we would lose out on excellent candidates. On the other hand, there were some candidates who had an easier interviewer, and even though they weren't the strongest engineers, they would pass the interviews and get hired. A friend of mine went through several interview processes at different companies but kept getting rejected because he didn’t have deep knowledge of certain specific technical concepts. However, he's one of the best engineers I know. Despite being turned down by so many companies, he's now working at Tesla as principal engineer, proving that traditional interview processes don’t always recognize true talent. His story is a great example of how flawed interview processes can sometimes overlook incredible candidates. Then I found out about Karat, this great company with an entire engineering team dedicated to creating the BEST TECH INTERVIEWS on the planet. Their work helps companies hire faster while ensuring they are hiring the best engineer for the role. I was really excited to start on the sales team here. Another great thing about Karat is that their interviews are incredibly well-researched. Each interview is conducted by software engineers from all over the world. So, if you're hiring and want to bring on the best of the best—the top engineers on the planet—you need to use Karat services. Sadly, due to a personal matter, I had to resign from this wonderful company. However, if you know someone who is hiring, I highly recommend this product. Nowadays, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to hire because there are so many candidates in the market. It’s very challenging to choose the best one from so many options. I strongly suggest checking out this company. Thanks to these amazing people: Alex Dima, Arjun Karath, Bryan Santana Preston, Austin Heimark, Ron Jethani, Sara Cohen, John Phillip Loof, Madison D. , Melisa Joy S., Hanna Kim for making my job so much easier every day. It’s rare to find a company that is both so professional and has such a focused remote team working toward achieving goals. Teamwork is challenging, but this company has a culture where things truly get done.

🚨 String is looking to hire a front-end or full-stack developer in LatAm! 🚨 👩‍🔧 Could this be you (or someone you know)!? 👨‍🔧 Please DM me if you're interested in 👇 1) Building clean, intuitive, and dynamic web apps using NextJS. 2) Get your hands dirty building backend systems to handle scheduling async events. 3) Iterating insanely fast, making quick decisions about how to build stuff, and having your performance based completely on results. You'll be writing code alongside yours truly to ➡ build new features, fix bugs, and improve the overall functionality of String. Additionally, you'll be working on a new full-stack project with me that, like String, brings dramatic automation and workflow efficiencies to a relatively stale industry. ✅ Of course, there are some requirements for this job: ✅ 1) 👨‍💻 Be willing to have your results evaluated on a daily basis. Don't expect to have a long ramp up period and then have your reviews sugar coated. 👩‍💻 2) 📜 Be familiar with Javascript, NextJs, MongoDB, Node, and Git such that you can hit the ground running and start building things on your own. 📜 3) 🕰 You must be willing to work similar hours to California *startup* working hours. Roughly 9-5 PT, but usually around 10 hours per working day so more like 9-5 and then 7-9. A 1-4 hour timezone difference is fine. 🕰 4) 🔄 It's a big plus if you've built backends for scheduling async events and sending updates to clients via websockets. 🔄 🎥 If you're interested in learning more please, reach out to me with a video that introduces yourself and includes these things: 🎥 1) Who you are and what you've done. 2) Why you're interested. 3) Walk me through an example of something you've built. If it's an entire app, great! If it's just a feature you worked on for someone else, great! Just make sure to walk me through the code and explain what it's doing and demo how it works. I'm excited to hear from you! If you now anyone who fits this bill, will you please ask them to introduce themself too? Thanks everyone!

Many people have been asking me lately about the best countries in LATAM to hire #techtalent. So I thought of sharing a list of the top 3 standout destinations for software outsourcing in #SouthAmerica. Here they go: - Argentina: Software developers in #Argentina stand out for their high proficiency in English, a significant strategic advantage. According to the global EF #EducationFirst test, Argentinians achieve the highest academic scores in the region. The government recognizes the importance of IT outsourcing and frequently revises labor laws to support related initiatives, attracting more international businesses to the country. - Bolivia #Bolivia shares a similar culture with the United States, which facilitates communication and connection between teams. Its more efficient economy allows access to talent at an affordable cost. Bolivia has made significant progress in the technology sector, becoming an #innovation hub in South America. - Brazil The largest economy in South America, is home to many #Fortune500 companies like IBM and HP, and is the leading IT outsourcing hub in the region. With over 500,000 IT professionals and around 23,000 new graduates each year, #Brazil is an excellent place to find software developers. Its advanced technical knowledge and high proficiency in English position it as a strong competitor in outsourcing. #outsourcing #nearshorepartner #staffaugmentation #crossborder

Remote team or not? I myself have been working for a few years but only now at Techstars I actually go to an office every day. I had an awesome time working remote and I honestly got a lot done, specially in terms of software development. More than I could have in an office in my opinion. And if you take the opportunity to travel, you can also get to know many countries and cultures at the same time. It’s epic. Now I am in an office. Everyday. Sitting close side by side with my cofounder and many other amazing people. Sitting there, in the office, I read an article about somebody complaining that companies want you to come back to the office. I was always pro-remote but I started thinking about it. The amount of clearance and alignment when working in person together or being able to just walk over to another persons desk to ask a question is very strong compared to online meetings or chat messages. Or a motivating smile by Brian Daly as he walks past your desk instead of an emoji reaction. On the other side deep concentrated work, like actual software development is very hard for me in the office environment. Being able to work remote is a luxury not a must have. It can help, it can also be harmful. If your company decides to go office only, don’t blame them for it. What do you think? #remote #office
