International hiring, without the overhead

Build globally. Avoid the overhead.

Finding strong engineers is only the beginning. Compensation, contracts, payroll, equipment, compliance, and ongoing local support each add work before a new teammate can contribute.

Teros handles that work in one place. We source and vet engineers, help you calibrate the role and compensation, and run the local employment operation.

You interview the finalists, choose who joins, and lead their work. We make the rest easier.

How we support your team

Fastrack from open role to rockstar onboarded.

Pillar 01

Get a focused shortlist—not a pile of résumés.

Meet engineers vetted against the role and your standards.

We calibrate the role, seniority, compensation, and team context before searching our regional network. Every introduction is screened against what you agreed—not just matched on keywords.

EX/01
In practice

A Series B customer scoped a senior backend role on Monday. By Friday, its leaders were reviewing two relevant engineers instead of sorting through a broad stack of résumés.

Pillar 02

Choose every person who joins.

We source, vet, and shortlist; you make the hiring decision.

Together, we select the right engagement model—full-time, fractional, or embedded directly into your squads. Our default is full-time engineers who become lasting members of the team, with an average tenure of 3–5 years.

EX/02
In practice

Engineers hired through us in 2021 are still on those teams. They join the same standups, contribute to the same repositories, and review code alongside US colleagues. They report to your engineering leads while Teros supports payroll and employment behind the scenes.

Pillar 03

Leave the headaches to us.

Our team is on the ground in Buenos Aires and Montevideo.

You gain US business-hour overlap, access to a deep engineering talent pool, and a local team that can support onboarding, retention, and employment needs personally.

EX/03
In practice

When a senior engineer in Buenos Aires had a visa question, our local operations lead met with them that afternoon. When a Montevideo hire needed equipment on day one, it was delivered to their door. That direct support is part of how we work.

How it works

From role definition to start-date set in 5 days.

Step 01 Monday

Define the role together

We meet with your engineering leaders to understand the team and align on level, compensation, and engagement model.

Step 02 Tue – Wed

Meet vetted candidates

We source from our regional network, vet against your standards, and introduce a small group of relevant engineers.

Step 03 Your timeline

Run your interview process

Your team interviews the candidates using its own process and decides who is the right fit.

Step 04 After selection

Welcome your new teammate

Once you choose a candidate, we coordinate the offer, contracts, payroll, equipment, and compliance.

“We started working with Teros during a critical phase of growth and they've consistently delivered. The engineers are thoughtful, pragmatic, and operate with real ownership. They ramp fast and contribute meaningfully. Teros is not a vendor for us — they are a core part of Honeyjar.”

“Teros has been a strong partner as we've scaled our engineering organization. The team brings senior-level judgment, moves quickly, and integrates seamlessly. They care about architecture, security, and long-term maintainability — not just shipping fast. It's rare to find a partner that feels like an extension of your team this quickly.”
