Hire from where the world's best software talent actually lives.

Real-time teammates from Latin America. Round-the-clock delivery from Simpalm's own office in India. Most clients end up using both.

"I've been burned by outsourcing before. Slow replies, no real accountability, a 'senior developer' who needed more hand-holding than my junior did. I don't want to go through that again."

Sound familiar? You're not alone. Whether you're a three-person startup or an enterprise team vetting a new vendor, we hear this constantly. And it's usually not about the person's skills. It's about who's actually reviewing the work, and who's on the hook when something slips. That's exactly what we built around: real technical review before anyone reaches your inbox, and one team accountable for the hire, not a chain of vendors pointing at each other.

How we build your tech team

Pick the rhythm that fits the work.

Not every hire needs the same thing. Some teams need someone live on the call. Others just need the backlog shorter by morning. We built for both, and neither is the "backup option" for the other.

Real-Time · Nearshore

Latin America

A developer who joins your standups live, pairs in real time, and feels like a teammate on your Slack. Because they're working your actual hours, not a shifted version of them.

Best for: dispersed or fully-remote teams that collaborate live: SaaS companies, product teams, anyone who needs someone in the daily rhythm.
Model: individual nearshore hire, vetted by Ducknowl, embedded in your team.
Time zone: 0-4 hrs from EST/CST.

Round-The-Clock · India-Wide

India

Not a new hire we're vetting for you: Simpalm's own software teams across India, working here 15+ years, before the LATAM staffing business existed. Work goes in before you log off. It's further along when you log back on.

Best for: clients who want overnight execution: larger builds, enterprise teams, work that doesn't need a live conversation to move forward.
Model: dedicated delivery team from Simpalm's own software teams across India, not a fresh placement.
Time zone: works while you sleep, ready by morning.

Most of our long-term clients end up using both: a LATAM teammate for the work that needs a live conversation, an India team for the work that just needs to move.

Not the cheapest region. Not the closest one. Latin America and India, because that's where the engineering depth actually is. We know what it costs when the wrong engineer touches a codebase, and what it's worth when the right one does. That's why we built Ducknowl ourselves, rather than trust someone else's black box to vet the people we place.

Who we place

Every unfilled role is just another bat in the swarm.

You don't need to name the exact title, just start firing. Clear the wave and the real target is waiting behind it: the hiring bottleneck itself. Beat it, and watch it break apart into the roles we've actually filled, as a LATAM teammate or from our India team.

Whoever wins the fight plugs straight into the stack you already run: GitHub · GitLab · AWS · Docker · Kubernetes · React · Node.js · Python · Jira · Slack · Figma · CI/CD

The process

Four steps. Two weeks. Your decision.

1

Step OneWe listen first

You tell us what's not getting built. We ask the questions most staffing companies never think to.

2

Step TwoWe recommend and vet

Ducknowl, trusted by 40+ recruiting firms and 25+ in-house teams, screens for skill. A technical lead reviews the work by hand. No guesswork, LATAM or India.

3

Step ThreeYou decide

We submit who we recommend: a LATAM teammate or the India team we'd assign. You meet them. You make the call, no pressure.

4

Step FourThey start. We stay.

30-day and 90-day check-ins built in. We don't disappear after the placement.

30day

If it doesn't work out, you pay nothing.

We know what a wrong technical hire costs a small team: lost sprints, lost trust in the process, the energy it takes to start over. If within the first 30 days the fit isn't right, for any reason, we replace them at no additional cost. No awkward conversation. No fine print. It's on us.

Common questions

What founders and CTOs ask us most.

+How much does a technology hire from LATAM cost?

On average, 60% less than an equivalent U.S.-based hire, with no benefits overhead, no payroll taxes, and no long-term contract required upfront. Where you land depends on the role, the country, and the skill set, not a tier we assigned before we knew your team.

+Do you only offer talent from Latin America?

No. Alongside LATAM nearshore staffing, we run established software teams across India that already deliver for enterprise clients. LATAM is the right fit when you need someone live in your daily standups; India is the right fit when you want work moving overnight and ready by morning. Many of our clients use both.

+How do you actually vet technical skill, not just resumes?

Every candidate goes through Ducknowl, our own AI screening platform: coding challenges, live technical assessment, and video interviews. Then a real technical lead, someone who has shipped software, reviews their work by hand before anyone reaches your inbox.

+Will I have control over the engineer once they're placed?

Yes. They work as a member of your team and report to you. You direct the day-to-day work; we handle sourcing, vetting, payroll, and ongoing support behind the scenes.

+What about code security and IP?

Every engineer signs an NDA before onboarding, and we follow secure access practices so your codebase and your clients' data stay protected.

+How fast can you find the right person?

Most placements go from first conversation to a candidate's first day in about two weeks. We typically present a shortlist of 2-3 vetted candidates within days.

+What if the engineer isn't the right fit?

That's exactly what the 30-day guarantee is for. If it isn't working, we replace the hire at no extra cost. The risk sits with us, not you.
