Where we source deep.

Six disciplines where we've built durable sourcing depth across LATAM.

Where the search gets hard, we go deeper.

Two verticals where senior, genuinely specialized LATAM talent is scarce — and where a generic search usually falls short.

Specialized

Cybersecurity Talent

Cybersecurity hiring in LATAM has a specific failure mode: plenty of generalists, very few genuine specialists. We source and screen for the difference — across security architecture, cloud, application security, detection, identity, GRC and OT/ICS — so you interview people who can own a security domain, not just staff one.

Oil & Gas & Energy Technology Talent

Vaca Muerta is turning Argentina's energy sector into a technology sector. Modern operators need talent at the intersection of engineering, data, software, automation and cybersecurity — profiles that neither a pure oil & gas search nor a pure tech search reliably finds. We source across that intersection, for companies operating in Vaca Muerta and across LATAM's broader energy sector.

Industrial Cybersecurity

Industrial Cybersecurity Team

An industrial company needed to strengthen its cybersecurity capabilities as its operational technology and connected infrastructure expanded. We sourced practitioners who understood both security and industrial environments — a combination most single-track searches don't find.

Zero Trust & Cloud Security

Zero Trust / Cloud Security Team

A multinational organization modernizing its infrastructure needed senior security specialists who are scarce in any single LATAM market. We searched across the region rather than one country to fill roles a local-only search couldn't.
