Our Story

Tecla was founded in 2013 on a simple belief: that world-class engineering talent is everywhere, and US companies should be able to tap into it without borders getting in the way. Our own team is built largely from Latin American talent, so we understand the people we place because we are those people. We've built one vetted network across the region and a team that treats every placement as a partnership, cares about client success, and knows what it takes to build modern products with AI.

What Sets Us Apart

Vetted for the AI era

A dedicated AI-fluency layer screens for engineers who design around AI, build automations, and apply modern AI tools with judgment, not just engineers who have heard of them. It's one of four vetting layers every candidate clears before joining our network.

Fewer than 1% accepted

Every candidate goes through a 4-layer vetting process, including an engineer-to-engineer technical assessment run by senior engineers. Fewer than 1% make it through, so the shortlist you see is already proven on skill, communication, and fit.

Low-risk by design

Talent is employed under our Employer of Record, so payroll, benefits, and compliance never land on you. Every placement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee, and 98% of the talent we place stays with the teams they join. (225 char)

Commonly Asked Questions

The clearest signal is whether the people we place stay. 98% of the talent we place remains with the teams they join, and most of our engagements grow over time, often starting with one hire and expanding into a full team. We don't measure success by how fast we fill a role, but by how well that person integrates, performs, and lasts. A hire that leaves in three months isn't a win, no matter how quickly it was made. That's also why every placement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee, a commitment we rarely have to use.

Our talent works in your time zone, so collaboration happens in real time, not on a 12-hour delay. Engineers join your standups, code reviews, Slack channels, and ticketing systems as full members of your team, and you manage their day-to-day work directly, just as you would an in-house hire. On our side, we handle everything around the employment: payroll, benefits, equipment, and compliance under our Employer of Record, plus ongoing check-ins to make sure the engagement stays on track. You get the working relationship; we carry the operational weight.

Every candidate goes through a four-layer vetting process, and fewer than 1% are accepted into our network. First, our proprietary screening model reads each application for skill, depth, and fit. Then a recruiter evaluates communication, English fluency, and culture fit. Next, a senior engineer runs a technical assessment, examining how the candidate writes code, reasons about architecture, and defends their decisions, engineer to engineer. Finally, an AI-fluency screen checks whether they genuinely build and ship with modern AI tools. Each layer filters harder than the last, so the shortlist you see is already proven.

Every placement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee, so if a hire isn't the right fit, we find a replacement at no additional cost. In practice, it's rarely needed: 98% of the talent we place stays with the teams they join. That retention is the real measure of how well the vetting works, the guarantee is there for peace of mind, but the goal is to get the match right the first time so you never have to use it.

We staff vetted technical and digital talent across Latin America, from a single specialist to a full embedded team. That spans software engineering, AI and machine learning, data, DevOps, QA, product, and design. We're especially focused on teams building with modern AI, since our vetting is built to find engineers who work fluently with today's tools. Whether you need to add capacity to an existing team, replace a departing partner, or build a nearshore team from scratch, we're set up for it. And when you'd rather have the outcome than assemble the team yourself, Tecla Labs, our AI arm, can build the solution directly.
