OUR PROCESS

We Build Rock-Solid Nearshore Teams

Spoiler alert: It starts with happier humans. Happy employees make happy clients. Every time.

We don’t do “good enough,” warm bodies, or resume roulette. At EXSQ LATAM, we build nearshore teams that actually want to be here—and it shows.

Because when employees are supported, fulfilled, and treated like people (not placeholders), they stick around, do better work, and care about your company almost as much as you do.

And if you’re building a center of excellence? Trust us: talent retention isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s the game-changer.

The Secret Sauce to Better Teams

We don’t wait around for unicorns to fall into our laps—we go out and find them.

Our proactive talent acquisition playbook keeps your pipeline full of pre-vetted, ready-to-roll nearshore staffing professionals.

We source through curated networks, trusted referrals, and top-tier job boards—then personalize outreach to cut through the noise. That’s how we get a 98%+ response rate (yes, really).

And we don’t just pass you a stack of resumes. We pre-screen every candidate, so you only meet the ones worth your time.

Once you’re ready to meet them, our hiring process is simple, fast, and built to close top talent before someone else does.

No fluff. No black holes. Just the right people, faster.

Our Hiring Process

From planning to onboarding, our process is built to move fast, land the right talent, and keep them around. AI where it counts, humans where it matters most.

Step One

WORKFORCE PLANNING & ROLE DEFINITION 

 

We start with a strategic calibration session to define role requirements, team structure, and salary benchmarks—solving past hiring challenges upfront.

 

With the support of AI-powered tools, we conduct a more accurate evaluation process, reducing any kind of bias while enhancing the assessment of technical capabilities.

 

With real-time salary data and LATAM market insights, we craft competitive offers.

Step Two

TALENT SOURCING & EMPLOYER BRANDING

 

We tap into a deep, diverse talent pool across trusted platforms, niche job boards, referrals, and our proprietary LATAM pipeline.

 

Thanks to our deep expertise and experience in the industry, our team is able to quickly identify top candidates. Personalized outreach through LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and email by our recruiters ensures strong response rates and genuine candidate engagement.

 

With strategic employer branding that boosts engagement by 50%, we don’t just find top talent—we make them want to work with you.

Step Three

AI-DRIVEN SCREENING & DATA ANALYSIS

 

We carefully review hundreds of candidates to identify a select group for in-depth evaluation.

 

Our team validates each candidate’s professional background, technical knowledge, and soft skills, while also exploring their short- and medium-term goals.

 

This approach allows us to assess not only their potential impact on your company but also their motivation to become part of your team.

 

While AI tools support us behind the scenes, every critical decision is made by experienced recruiters who understand the nuances of talent, fit, and long-term value.

Step Four

COLLABORATIVE INTERVIEWING

 

Recruiter Screening (Round 1):  Our team conducts role-specific technical evaluations to ensure each candidate meets the required skill level—whether it’s coding proficiency, tool expertise, or problem-solving capabilities. We also explore their communication style and professional goals to ensure alignment with your team’s needs and values.  

 

Technical Assessment (Round 2): Optional live interviews, coding challenges, or case studies. Pair programming when needed.

 

Client Interviews (Round 3): You meet the final candidates. We guide the process and share best practices.

 

Offer & Onboarding (Round 4): Salary aligned to market data. Contracts managed for compliant, fast hiring.

Step Five

OFFER, ONBOARDING, DONE

 

Pre-onboarding handled by humans (not bots). We manage payroll, HR systems, and regular check-ins to boost retention.
