Traditional recruiting is broken. You know it. We know it. That's why we built something better.
At Lupa, we help US founders and CTOs build world-class teams with Latin America's hidden tech talent, the exceptional engineers who aren't on traditional platforms.
We're not recruiters. We're your strategic talent partner. We dive deep into your business model, understand your growth roadmap, and long-term vision to craft bespoke talent strategies. Our consultative approach means understanding where you're headed, not just where you are today.
300+ companies, from startups to Google and IBM, trust us:
70% cost savings without compromising quality
97% retention rate (industry avg: 60%)
Candidates in <21 days
$15M+ revenue proves our model
We built Lupa in Latin America. Our founder built Rappi's 1,000-person engineering team here. We know where the hidden gems work, how to assess them with Silicon Valley rigor, and exactly how to integrate them into your culture. We speak both languages, literally and culturally.
Beyond talent, we're your operational backbone. We navigate payroll, compliance, taxes, and labor laws across 13 countries so you can focus on growth.
Four ways we can help you scale:
Tech Recruiting: Best for companies ready to employ directly with their own HR infrastructure.
IT Staffing: Best for US companies without LatAm entities who want talent minus the complexity.
RPO Solutions: Best for scale-ups in hypergrowth needing continuous hiring support.
Beyond tech, we also excel in placing exceptional Finance, Accounting, Design, and Marketing professionals who understand the startup ecosystem.
Every engagement includes deep business consultation, cultural alignment, and our signature approach: 3-4 pre-vetted candidates, not 50 resumes.
Stop settling for transactional recruiters. Partner with the team that knows Latin America inside-out and treats your success as our mission.
