We place senior LATAM talent at YC and a16z startups where getting the hire wrong costs months of runway you can't recover. 160+ placements. 80% retention at 24 months. Built on human judgment, not automated volume.
We're a boutique hiring firm built specifically for founders at YC, a16z, and Sequoia portfolio companies. We work the senior hires that decide whether a company scales or stalls. Before opening pipeline, we spend time calibrating against the founder's real culture, not the JD. Then we train the talent we place against that exact signal.
The result: 160+ placements, 80% retention at 24 months, and a closed-loop system where what we learn from founders sharpens how we train talent, and what we learn from talent sharpens who we place.
In a market scaling volume without calibration, we operate the opposite way: source less, calibrate more, consult as peers.
We work with founders building from San Francisco, New York, and London, placing senior talent from across LATAM: Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and beyond. 12+ countries, one common bar.

I loved the process with Purrfect Hire! A process that understands the culture of companies and the personality of candidates allows cultural matches to be made from moment zero. In addition to that, candidates feel supported by a team that is attentive at every moment of the process.

Any tool can source. None of them know who'll stay.
AI sourcing scales volume. Recruiters scale time-to-fill. Both miss the metric that actually matters in 2026: stickiness. 46% of new hires fail within 18 months. 89% of those failures are cultural, not technical. The interview isn't where hires fail. Week four is.
We operate at the gap AI can't close. We calibrate against the founder's real culture before opening pipeline, and we train talent against that exact signal. That's not a keyword filter. That's a conversation.
Or tell us where you want to go. The first conversation is fast and honest.
