• 5+ years in Talent Acquisition, including 3+ years in technical recruitment.
• Proven success sourcing LATAM talent for U.S. or global clients.
• Established network of senior engineers and technical professionals across LATAM, and the ability to quickly engage new talent through trusted relationships.
• Strong understanding of roles like Full Stack, Backend, Frontend, DevOps, and Data Engineering.
• Expertise with sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, GitHub, or HireEZ.
• Fluent in English and Spanish.
• Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable working independently.
