For Expats in Colombia

Your First Reliable Colombian Hire in 30 Days

Without LinkedIn ads, no-show interviews, mediocre candidates, or compliance mistakes that come back to bite you later.

If you're an expat in Colombia trying to hire locally, you've probably noticed something strange:

You're not short on applicants.

You're drowning in the wrong ones.

Resumes look fine. Interviews get scheduled. And then…

  • No-shows
  • Ghosting
  • Mediocre follow-through
  • Or someone who performs just long enough to qualify for severance

If hiring in Colombia feels broken, it's not because you're doing something wrong.

It's because the system you're using rewards noise, not signal.

The Real Problem

Most hiring methods in Colombia are designed to:

  • 1Maximize applicant volume
  • 2Push resumes, not reliability
  • 3Protect the platform, not the employer

That's why expats end up interviewing dozens of people who were never serious to begin with.

You're panning for gold.

Everyone else is selling you dirt.

Founder's Story

I learned this the hard way.

I spent thousands of dollars on:

  • Ads
  • Hiring platforms
  • Assessment tests
  • My own time interviewing

And what did I get?

Not bad hires.

Zero hires.

Worse than that—I was being fed mediocre candidates.

People who looked acceptable on paper but couldn't follow through in real life.

Candidates who wouldn't show up. Or vanished the moment things got real.

Then I discovered the darker layer:

People who intentionally underperform just long enough to qualify for liquidación, then check out completely—because the system lets them.

That's when it became clear:

This wasn't a talent problem.

It was a filtering problem.

The Turning Point

I spoke with a friend who had been recruiting in Colombia for over five years.

He'd built and staffed entire call centers for professional services—hundreds of employees.

"

Everyone makes these mistakes their first year.

He already had a system.

One that filtered for behavior before resumes.

He helped me hire my first employee.

She wasn't average.

She wasn't "good enough."

She was an A-player.

That's when we realized something important:

Other expats are stuck exactly where I was.
