Why hire a software engineer in Latin America?

Cost of Hiring Software Developers

One of the biggest advantages of hiring software engineers in LATAM is cost efficiency. When you compare the average salaries of developers in the U.S. to those in LATAM, you can save a lot of money without compromising on quality.Here's a quick breakdown of what you can expect to pay for software engineers in different regions of LATAM:

Junior Developer: $3,125/month

Mid-Level Developer: $4,375/month

Senior Developer: $5,625/month

Time Zone Compatibility

One of the main concerns when hiring remote developers from overseas is the time zone gap. But when you hire software engineers in LATAM, especially those working in EST/PST-compatible time zones, this concern practically disappears. In fact, working in the same or similar time zones has been shown to increase productivity by 4.4%, according to recent research on distributed teams.Here’s how close some LATAM countries are to U.S. time zones:

Mexico: Central Standard Time (CST) — just 1 hour behind EST / 2 hours ahead of PST
Colombia
: GMT-5 — same as EST, ideal for East Coast teams
Peru: GMT-5 — same as EST, offering great overlap with U.S. work hours
Chile: GMT-4 — typically 1 hour ahead of EST, depending on daylight saving

Cultural Fit

Cultural fit is essential to building a successful team, and Latin American (LATAM) developers often align well with U.S. teams in terms of work ethic and communication style. Many Latin American countries have strong ties to the U.S. through trade, media, and historical influence. This means that developers in these regions often speak English fluently and understand U.S. business culture.

Additionally, Latin American countries tend to have a more flexible and collaborative work culture, making them a perfect match for agile development methodologies. Developers are accustomed to working in international teams, particularly in tech industries where cross-border collaboration is common.

Got questions? We've got answers.

1

How is Teilur Talent different from other tech recruiting companies in LATAM?

At Teilur Talent, we take a mission-focused approach to recruiting, ensuring that our candidates are aligned with your company's vision and goals. Unlike other tech recruiting companies in LATAM, who may focus solely on technical skills, we prioritize the cultural fit and dedication of our team members to your company. For this reason, we do not support project contractor or freelancer roles. Instead, we focus on fully devoted team members who will help you achieve long-term success.

2

How does Teilur Talent attract and retain the best talent compared to other companies?

At Teilur Talent, we offer our candidates competitive salaries that are 2x to 3x higher than what tech companies would pay locally. This allows us to attract top talent and retain highly motivated and loyal team members. Additionally, we focus on finding candidates whose values align with the purpose, vision, and mission of our clients. This approach ensures that our engineers and tech talent are not just coding and completing task rather, they become part of a greater purpose, which gives them meaning and helps us attract and retain the best talent.

3

What are the typical tech roles that Teilur Talent recruits for?

At Teilur Talent, we specialize in recruiting for a wide range of tech roles that are typically in high demand. These include positions such as DevOps engineers, AI Developers, QA analysts and engineers, back-end and front-end developers, data scientists, product managers, business developers, and technical sales positions. Essentially, we recruit for most roles that are needed in B2B and B2C tech-focused businesses.

4

What are Teilur Talent's fees and pricing structure?

At Teilur Talent, we believe in transparency. We charge a flat rate fee of 20% of what the client pays. This way, our clients know exactly what they are paying for and how much the candidate gets. As an example: If a client hires a software engineer for $60,000 per year ($5,000 per month), Teilur's monthly fee would be $1,000 (20% of $5,000). We don't believe in hidden fees or unwanted surprises, so we disclose all costs upfront to both candidates hired and companies. When exploring other alternatives, make sure they are transparent about their pricing. We believe this is paramount for the benefit of all parties involved in this new era of remote work.

5

What is the candidate screening process at Teilur Talent, and how do you ensure a good fit for my company?

At Teilur Talent, we take candidate screening very seriously. We use a multi-layered approach to find the best candidates for our clients, starting with screening thousands of candidates from our internal and proprietary networks. We leverage AI technology to assess whether a candidate matches the technical skills required for a given job opening. We also perform additional personal evaluations to ensure that the candidate has the soft skills, culture fit, and English language skills required to excel in their new role. Our rigorous screening process ensures that only the best candidates make it through to our clients, saving them time and helping them find the best talent for their teams.
