Can I hire SILA for recruitment only?

Yes. You can use recruiting on its own and keep your own employment, payroll and contracts. Employment and payroll are available if you ever want them, never a condition of the search.

How fast do candidates arrive?

Contingent and contract searches produce a first shortlist in 5 business days. Executive search runs a longlist in about two weeks and a shortlist in four to six. RPO pods go live in 10 business days.

What does recruitment cost in Latin America?

Contingent and contract to hire are success based as a percentage of first year salary. Executive search is retained and staged. RPO is a fixed monthly cost per recruiter pod with no per hire fee, which is the cheapest model once you pass five hires a quarter.

Which countries do you recruit in?

Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic and every other market in the region. One agreement covers all of them, so you can open a role anywhere without a new contract.

Do you replace a hire that does not work out?

Yes. Permanent placements carry a replacement guarantee, and RPO pods rework the pipeline at no extra fee inside the engagement.

Can you recruit roles outside technology?

Yes. Finance, accounting, customer experience, sales, marketing, operations, supply chain, clinical, legal and executive leadership. There is no cap on functions or headcount.
