When companies call us

Remote hiring works when the time zone, the written communication and the employment model are right from day one.

You need real time overlap

Your team is in New York, Austin or Toronto and wants colleagues online during the same working day, not overnight handoffs.

Your team runs on writing

Specs, updates and decisions happen in documents and chat. The hire has to write clear English from week one.

You are unsure how to employ the hire

Contractor, local employee through an employer of record, or your own entity. You need a hire who fits the model you choose.

You want people already in Europe

Many Latin American professionals live in Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands or Germany. They already have European work experience and time zone.

A first remote hire in a new country

There is no local team to learn from. The first hire has to work independently and set the standard for the next ones.

Remote hires have not lasted

Earlier remote hires were skilled but went quiet, missed context or left. You want to test for remote work habits, not only skills.

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 remote candidate goes through the five lenses. Remote work raises the bar on two of them: communication and cultural fluency.

Craft. Results the candidate delivered in a comparable role, checked with a former manager who worked with them remotely when possible.
Context. Experience working for a foreign company or a distributed team, and at a company of your stage.
Communication. A written exercise in English that mirrors the job, such as a project update or a short proposal, plus a live conversation.
Cultural Fluency. Habits for async work: how the candidate asks for context, flags risks and makes decisions when headquarters is offline.
Drive. Why remote work with your company, and evidence of self-management in past roles.

Why Tessera Partners

Versus EOR providers

An employer of record makes the hire legal and pays them each month. It does not find or assess the person. We do that part and work alongside the EOR you choose.

Versus generalist agencies

Generalist agencies match keywords. We test how a candidate writes, works across time zones and handles decisions alone, because that decides remote success.

Versus in-house recruiting

Your in-house team may not have networks in Latin America or the diaspora in Europe. We bring both, plus assessment designed for remote roles.

Market notes

Argentina and São Paulo run on UTC-3 all year. Argentina does not use daylight saving time (timeanddate), and Brazil ended it in 2019 (Decree 9.772/2019). Colombia is on UTC-5 (timeanddate) and Mexico City on UTC-6 (timeanddate). That gives US teams a full shared working day.
Contractor or employee is a legal question, not a preference. In the US, the IRS looks at behavioral control, financial control and the relationship (IRS guidance). Local rules apply in the hire's country too. Tessera Partners does not give legal or payroll advice.
Each country has its own labor code. Brazil's CLT defines an employee by continuous, paid and subordinate work (CLT, article 3). Argentina's labor law presumes an employment contract when someone provides services (Law 20,744, article 23).
An employer of record legally employs the worker in their country and runs payroll, taxes and benefits for you. It lets you hire a local employee without opening an entity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much do remote hiring services cost?

Our fee is 10% of the hire's first year base salary. A 750 EUR start fee confirms the search and is deducted from the final invoice. The final invoice is issued when you sign with the candidate and is due within 7 days. Every placement includes the 90 day replacement guarantee at no additional cost.

How fast can we hire a remote professional?

You see a first qualified shortlist within 21 days of the signed role brief. Remote candidates often move faster than relocating ones, because there is no visa or move. Notice periods still apply, so we discuss start dates with each candidate before the first interview.

Should we hire a contractor, an employee or use an EOR?

It depends on the role, the country and how you will manage the work. Classification is a legal question, so we recommend advice from a qualified lawyer or your EOR. We can recruit for any of the three models and confirm with candidates which ones they accept.

What does the 90 day guarantee cover?

If a remote hire does not work out within 90 days, we run a replacement search at no additional fee. During those weeks we check in with you and the hire, which helps solve early issues such as unclear ownership or meeting overload.

Do you only hire people living in Latin America?

No. We also recruit Latin American professionals who already live in Europe, the US or elsewhere. For European companies this often means the same time zone and existing work authorization. We confirm each candidate's location and right to work before the shortlist.

Which languages do your remote candidates speak?

Every candidate works in English, tested on a written task and a live conversation. Most also speak Spanish or Portuguese, which helps with customers in Latin America, Spain or Portugal. We also search for Italian, German and French combinations when the role needs them.
