Built a fullstack team in LATAM for Series A startup

Client Profile

Plugg’s client, a fast growing tech company, recently raised over $70 million. The company had a difficult time finding dedicated and committed software engineers during a full employment low interest rate economy. Plugg was introduced to the company and explained the concept of nearshoring and how Latin America could be an opportunity for motivated and engaged talent. 

The company was seeking the engineers to come onboard as team members, using all the usual tools such as slack, zoom, and Jira and participate in the daily standups. They were adamant that the team was senior level and contributed their ideas. Plugg advised them to consider Argentina, and the talent blew them away. The engineers were senior, not afraid to speak their mind, and had strong English fluency. Plugg built the client a team of 4 reliable and committed full stack developers and they contributed greatly during a stressful and exciting time.
