How the search works

Intake

A working call, then a structured intake. We test the real need and agree a signed role brief with you.

Search, days 1 to 21

We start with our network, references and trusted connections, then curated talent pools. Job boards only when they add signal.

Shortlist by day 21

Three to five candidates, each with a written 5-Lens dossier and our recruiter's view.

Interviews and offer

We run scheduling, interview preparation, debriefs, references and offer support.

Follow-through to day 90

Regular check-ins with you and the hire through day 90, backed by the replacement guarantee.

How we evaluate candidates

Every candidate goes through the same five lenses, with written evidence. For hiring in Argentina, they focus on the following.

Craft. Concrete results in the role, confirmed with former managers.
Context. Experience in a company like yours, whether a local business, a multinational or an industrial site.
Communication. Clear communication in Spanish and, where the role needs it, English tested on real work.
Cultural Fluency. The ability to work with headquarters abroad and with teams in other countries.
Drive. Real motivation for the role and your company, beyond the salary offer.

Why Tessera Partners

Versus EOR providers

An EOR employs and pays someone you have already chosen. We find and assess that person. If you have no entity in Argentina yet, we work alongside your EOR.

Versus generalist agencies

Many generalist agencies compete on CV volume. We start with our network and referrals, and present short shortlists with written evidence.

Versus in-house recruiting

Your in-house team knows your culture. We add networks in Argentina and abroad, confidential searches and assessment of bilingual profiles.

Hiring in Argentina

These are the questions foreign companies ask most before hiring in Argentina. Tessera Partners does not give legal or payroll advice, so confirm each point with your lawyer or payroll provider.

Employment relationship: Argentina's Employment Contract Law presumes an employment contract when someone works under another's direction (Law 20,744, article 23).
Contractors: many independent professionals invoice under the monotributo, a simplified tax regime run by ARCA (ARCA, Monotributo). A contractor agreement does not replace employment if the relationship is employment in practice.
Pesos or dollars: local employment contracts are usually paid in pesos. Some roles for foreign companies are paid in US dollars through service contracts or an EOR. Currency and payment method are legal and tax decisions.
Collective agreements: many activities are covered by a collective agreement that sets minimum pay and conditions (Law 14,250). The Labor Ministry has a search tool to find the one that applies.
Notice and probation: employees give 15 days' notice. Employers give one month up to five years of service and two months after that. Probation lasts six months (Law 20,744, articles 92 bis and 231).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a search in Argentina cost, and in which currency?

Our fee is 10% of the hire's first year base salary. A 750 EUR start fee, or its equivalent, confirms the search and is deducted from the final invoice. We invoice Argentine clients in pesos. For foreign clients, we try to invoice in your own currency. The final invoice is due within 7 days of signing with the candidate.

How fast will we see candidates?

You see a first qualified shortlist within 21 days of the signed role brief. For industrial roles or roles outside Buenos Aires, an on site interview round sometimes helps, and we plan it with you from the start. We stay involved through the start date and beyond.

What does the 90 day guarantee cover?

If the placement does not work out within 90 days of the start date, we search again for the same role. There is no additional fee. We check in with you and the hire during that period, so issues come up early.

Can we hire before we open an entity in Argentina?

Yes. We find and assess the person, and your EOR or future entity employs them. We explain the common options so you can compare them, but we do not give legal or payroll advice. We confirm that each candidate accepts the employment model before final interviews.

Do you recruit on site or only remote roles?

Both. We cover on site and hybrid roles in Buenos Aires, Greater Buenos Aires North, Pilar, Córdoba and Rosario, and remote roles nationwide. For plants and logistics sites, we also check commute and availability to work on site. That avoids early turnover caused by long daily travel.

Do candidates speak English?

For roles that work with headquarters abroad, yes. We test English on real tasks, such as a written update or a call with a foreign colleague. Many Argentine professionals also speak Portuguese, which helps teams that work with Brazil. We confirm the level each role needs during intake.
