Purpose-built for engineering hiring in LATAM

What's wrong with using an HR agency for tech hiring?

Nothing is inherently wrong with HR agencies; they're well-suited for generalist roles. The problem is that engineering hiring requires a completely different skillset: understanding technical stacks, evaluating code quality, assessing system design thinking, and knowing what 'good' looks like at different seniority levels. Generalist HR agencies rarely have this depth, which leads to poorly-screened candidates and wasted engineering time in interviews.

How is NeuronHire's vetting actually better than an HR agency?

NeuronHire uses a multi-stage vetting process: sourcing from a pre-screened network of 400+ LATAM engineers, an engineer-to-engineer interview, a practical coding exercise tailored to the tech stack, a system design assessment calibrated to the seniority level, and a standardized deep English proficiency evaluation. HR agencies typically stop at a CV review and one HR call.

Do HR agencies even cover LATAM well?

Most HR agencies that claim LATAM coverage are actually US or European firms with limited LATAM footprint, often covering 1–2 major cities. NeuronHire is LATAM-native, with recruiting infrastructure across 8+ countries and relationships with engineering communities, universities, and tech companies throughout the region.

Is the fee structure really that different?

HR agencies charge a one-time placement fee upfront, you pay whether or not the hire works out long-term. NeuronHire uses an installment model tied to the hire's tenure: smaller payments spread over time, only while the engineer stays. For a team making 5 hires per year, this means lower upfront exposure, better cash flow, and fully aligned incentives on both sides.

Can NeuronHire handle senior and specialized roles?

Yes. Our network spans all levels from junior to staff/principal, and our technical vetting is calibrated by role and seniority. We regularly place senior backend engineers, ML engineers, DevOps specialists, and technical leads, roles that HR agencies struggle to vet accurately.
