Teilur Talent helps US companies hire full-time software developers in Latin America, from Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. You get a shortlist of pre-vetted, English-tested engineers in about 5 days, working in your time zone. Pricing is a flat 20% of what you pay; 80% goes to the talent, with no subscription.
Best for: US companies that want full-time developers who join their team for the long term, with pricing they can see line by line.
We handle everything from sourcing to onboarding so your team can focus on building.
The median software developer in the United States earns about $11,300 per month, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (May 2025). A mid-level engineer in Latin America through Teilur costs a fraction of that and works the same hours you do. You pay one monthly amount: 80% goes to the engineer and 20% is our fee.
Time zones that actually overlap
Latin America sits within one to three hours of EST and PST. That means standups happen live, code reviews come back the same day, and an incident at 2pm does not wait until tomorrow morning. This is the single biggest operational difference between hiring in LATAM and hiring across the Atlantic or in Asia.
A deep and growing talent pool
Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico graduate a large number of STEM professionals every year, and many have already worked with US companies. You are not trading quality for cost. You are accessing a market that has not yet been priced like Silicon Valley.
English tested, not assumed
Every engineer in our network is evaluated for English proficiency before you ever see their profile. Communication is where most remote hires fail, so we screen for it first rather than hoping for the best.
Full-time only, by design
We do not staff freelancers or short-term contractors. Every professional we place joins one team, full-time, forty hours a week. Engineers who are part of a mission build better software than engineers who are billing hours across three clients.
What you pay is what you see
The price is all-in: 80% of what you pay goes to the engineer and 20% is our fee. No markups buried in a blended rate, and no subscription.
Excellent time zone overlap with every US time zone and a fast-growing engineering market. A strong fit for teams that want live collaboration across East and West Coast hours.
The closest option for occasional on-site visits and a very competitive market, since local engineers are also hired directly by US companies. Best for teams that value proximity and in-person time.
By far the largest talent market in the region, with depth across almost every stack. English levels vary more widely, so English screening matters most here, and every candidate is tested before you meet them.
A deep pool of senior engineers with strong English. Best for teams hiring senior or lead roles who want experienced developers from day one.
Every engineer is pre-vetted for technical skill, English level and culture fit before you meet them.
Four steps from first call to onboarded team member. No hidden fees at any point.
