Why Latin America
How quickly can you build a development team in Latin America?
Hide answer
Building a development team in Latin America is faster than you might expect.
Timeline for first developer:
| Phase | Duration |
|---|---|
| Requirements + kickoff | 1-3 days |
| Candidates presented | 5-10 days |
| Interviews complete | 7-14 days |
| Offer accepted | 1-3 days |
| Notice period | 14-21 days |
| Total to first start | 4-6 weeks |
Scaling timeline:
| Team Size | Timeline |
|---|---|
| 1-2 developers | 4-6 weeks |
| 3-5 developers | 6-8 weeks |
| 5-10 developers | 8-12 weeks |
| 10+ developers | 3-4 months |
Factors that affect speed:
Faster:
•Common tech stacks (React, Node, Python)
•Mid-level seniority
•Flexible requirements
•Fast client interview process
Slower:
•Niche technologies
•Very senior/architect roles
•Specific industry experience
•Multiple interview rounds
Why LATAM is relatively fast:
•Large, active talent pool
•Developers comfortable with remote work
•Established recruiting infrastructure
•Notice periods shorter than Europe (2-3 weeks vs 1-3 months)
Parallel hiring:
For larger teams, hire in parallel—source multiple roles simultaneously rather than sequentially.
BEON.tech typically presents first candidates within 1-2 weeks and can scale teams to 10+ developers within a quarter.
