2. Sourcing
Our talent team searches the LATAM network for candidates who match your exact requirements.
3. Vetting
Technical assessment, English proficiency check, and work history review — before you see anyone.
4. Tech Interview
Stack-specific live coding and system design conducted by Motum senior engineers.
5. You Decide
You receive a curated shortlist. Interview your shortlist. Choose who joins your team.
6. Onboarding
Motum handles contracts, payroll, and hardware. Your engineer starts ready on day one.
Why LATAM nearshore
The strategic case for LATAM talent
Latin America has engineers with strong skills, English fluency, and US company experience. Nearshore provides US-quality talent without offshore timezone problems.
Real-time collaboration
Full overlap with US business hours. Your engineers attend standups live, respond in real time, and ship on your sprint cycle — not a day behind.
English-fluent talent
Latin America produces engineers with strong English skills. Our vetting confirms this before candidates reach you.
US product experience
Many LATAM engineers have worked with US companies and clients, knowing their pace, tools, culture, and expectations.
40–60% cost advantage
LATAM compensation rates are much lower than US rates, without the usual offshore quality compromise.
Geographic proximity
Easier travel, shared culture, and similar laws simplify compliance, contracts, and IP management.

What our clients say
“We were post-funding and under pressure to ship. We needed sr. engineers who could walk into an early-stage environment, figure it out fast, and actually deliver. Motum understood that immediately. The team they brought on was contributing in the first sprint and never slowed down.”
Kris Shinn
CTO at Fairground
“We had real technical debt, a platform that needed to scale, and couldn't build the team fast enough internally. Motum had senior engineers embedded within weeks, and they took genuine ownership of the platform from day one. Within months we had modern architecture, solid practices, and a team that could actually move fast.”
Matthew Landon
CTO at Atom Advantage
“Our platform needed serious modernization, and we didn't have the bandwidth internally to tackle it while still shipping. Motum came in, stabilized things fast, and then systematically rebuilt the stack. What stood out was how aligned their engineers stayed with our actual business goals, not just the technical checklist.”
Jeff Neal
CTO at One Health Direct
“We were in execution mode and needed people who could match the pace without hand-holding. Motum had the right engineers embedded in weeks. They fit the team dynamic immediately and kept us moving without missing a beat.”
Chris Place
CEO at Ringo
“We needed to move fast on a product initiative and didn't have the runway to hire full-time. Motum plugged in 5 senior engineers within weeks to accelerate a recent product launch. Same time zone, quick ramp-up. They integrated like they'd been there from the start.”
Vlad Iacob
VP of Engineering at Sketchy
