Building a high-performing IT team isn’t only about finding skilled individuals. That’s an important part of the process, but there is more to it, especially if you are working with offshore or nearshore talent providers: You need to integrate the new hires seamlessly into your team so that they not only belong to your team but also contribute from day one.
This is where tailored hiring and onboarding enter—it becomes a strategic investment in your organization’s success, more so when you plan to hire talent from LATAM countries.
At DevEngine, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach to LATAM recruitment and onboarding simply won’t work—in fact, it doesn’t. Every organization has its unique culture, values, and specific needs. That’s why we’re dedicated to building staff augmentation solutions that are as unique as your team.
We go beyond job descriptions and take the time to understand your organizational culture, team dynamics, and long-term goals. We want to understand the challenges you face, the skills you need, and the type of individuals who will thrive in your environment.
The critical questions we ask are:
- What are the specific technical skills and cultural attributes you seek?
- What are your team’s preferred communication and collaboration styles?
- What challenges and opportunities does your current workflow present?
- How do you envision new hires integrating into your existing team dynamics?
Finding the Right Talent
It all starts with finding the right talent. Given our presence spanning American continents, we have developed our own proprietary referral system. Next, each candidate undergoes a rigorous technical pre-screening process, including independent technical assignments and comprehensive assessments by our senior engineers. In this stage, candidates are also paired with our senior engineers for a 360-degree evaluation and assessment of not only their technical competency but also their cultural potential to fit within your team.

Tailored Onboarding Experience
We believe in tailoring the entire journey, from candidate identification to post-hire integration. Once we’ve identified the perfect candidates, we don’t stop there. We design a customized onboarding experience that is tailored to their specific needs and your team’s expectations.
This includes:
- Pre-boarding—we provide new hires comprehensive information about your company, culture, team, focus, role, and what is expected of them. If provided, we will also share your company profile with them.
- Personalized introductions—we go beyond clichéd introductions; we aim to foster a sense of belonging and support from the outset. We facilitate personalized introductions to key team members and mentors as well as the new employee.
- Role-specific training—most of the candidates hired come through a rigorous assessment. But not all candidates are 100% perfect. Where there is room, we create customized training programs that equip new hires with the core skills and knowledge about the company to excel in their roles.
- Performance feedback—we establish a clear feedback loop to ensure new hires are aware of expectations and can adjust their performance accordingly.
- HR support—we also handle payroll, benefits, taxes, and other HR-related responsibilities, freeing you to focus on your core business.
Beyond this, we keep ourselves always open to the client’s requirements. Be it the preferred country, spoken language, niche-based skills, or anything else you want, communicate that to us, and we will activate our network.
Because… At DevEngine, we see ourselves as more than just a recruitment agency. We’re your strategic partner in building the perfect team for your needs.
