Why Seed Money Consulting Chose Latin American Talent

Seed Money Consulting was drawn to the Latin American talent market for several reasons:

  • Resourcefulness & Strong Work Ethic: Candidates showed a strong drive to succeed.
  • Client-Facing Skills: Since the role involved direct communication with clients, cultural fit and communication skills were crucial.
  • Access to Top Talent: There is an abundance of high-caliber professionals in Latin America actively looking for opportunities.

Seed Money Consulting’s Advice for Hiring in Latin America

Based on their experience, Seed Money Consulting emphasizes three crucial factors for successfully hiring in Latin America.

First and foremost, companies should never settle for meet-the-minimum-requirements employees. It is essential to seek candidates who not only meet the job description but also align with the company’s culture and values. A strong cultural fit ensures long-term success and enhances team dynamics.

Another key consideration is prioritizing client-facing skills. Since many roles require direct communication with clients, hiring candidates with strong English proficiency and cultural alignment is vital. This helps maintain smooth interactions, build trust with clients, and uphold professional standards.

Finally, working with the right recruiting partner can make all the difference. An experienced local partner can efficiently vet candidates, verify their professional background, assess English language proficiency, and provide insights into competitive salary expectations. Having a knowledgeable partner streamlines the hiring process and ensures access to top-tier talent in the region.
