Why this seat is hard to fill.

Teams where a junior coordinator cannot carry the delivery pressure and a US senior hire costs more than the seat is worth.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the senior project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Seniority in this seat is earned in public, so their own leadership knows exactly what losing them costs.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • A senior judgment call around client pressure, delayed work, and team capacity.
  • Written executive summary from messy project and account notes.
  • A tools screen tied to the surfaces the seat actually runs on: project boards, docs, and reporting.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • You need a senior professional without adding a US salary line.
  • Your delivery seat has client-risk exposure.
  • You want the search run by people who have hired for this seat themselves.
  • You need junior admin capacity.
  • You want a project manager with no client contact.
  • You are not ready to interview senior professionals quickly.
