Make engineering hiring processes efficiently

Silver.dev Advisory is a retained hiring advisory for founders and engineering leaders building engineering teams in LatAm.

We help you improve hiring systems and processes—so you can hire effectively at scale

Hiring engineers shouldn't feel this chaotic

Yet most teams hiring in LatAm face the same problems:

  • Unclear role scope and seniority
  • Interviews that generate noise instead of signal
  • Conflicting opinions inside the team
  • Slow decisions—or fast ones they later regret
  • Expensive mis-hires that cost months to undo

Uncompetitive hiring processes compound issues - your company will growth in proportion to your talent quality.

  • Months of lost execution
  • Team morale and velocity
  • Re-hiring and replacement costs
  • Founder and EM burnout

Advisory exists to maximize your hiring processes for optimal ROI.

The hardest part isn't sourcing. It's knowing you're making the best out of your resources.

Silver.dev Advisory exists to guide you through the process of building the hiring machine

We work alongside you to design, calibrate, and continuously improve how you hire engineers, from strategy to final offer.

You stay in control.

We help you hire with clarity.

Who This Is For

  • Seed to Series B startups
  • Companies hiring engineers in LatAm (especially Argentina)

How This Relates to Recruiting

Silver.dev Advisory is independent from recruiting services—consult our fees here.

Advisory governs decisions and systems

We help you make better hiring decisions, not just execute searches.

Recruiting executes searches when needed

Some advisory clients later engage Silver.dev for contingency searches. Many don't.

No free sourcing

We're not doing recruiting under the guise of advisory. The advisory stands on its own.

No blurred incentives

We're aligned with your hiring success, not placement fees.
