Lupa Hire

Lupa Hire is a recruitment agency specialising in connecting North American businesses with exceptional talent from Latin America. Founded by Joseph Burns, an ex-Meta and ex-Capital One engineer who built Rappi's tech team from scratch, Lupa Hire offers three core services: recruiting (where the agency sources pre-vetted candidates within a week), staffing (where Lupa manages contracts and payroll), and RPO solutions (where dedicated recruiters embed within client teams). The company has earned recognition as a top recruitment leader, with Joseph Burns named to the Atlas x Hoxo Top 100 Recruitment Leaders in North America, achieving the number one Silver League position.

Lupa Hire specialises across multiple sectors including technology, finance, accounting, marketing, sales, and customer service. Within technology, the agency recruits software developers, app developers, web designers, AI developers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, and specialists in frameworks such as React, Angular, Laravel, and Python. The company also places professionals in finance and accounting roles, as well as sales and marketing positions, serving clients who need to scale teams quickly without sacrificing quality or cultural fit.

Operating across Latin America, Lupa Hire serves clients throughout the region, with particular expertise in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Costa Rica. The agency differentiates itself through four core pillars: ethics of care (prioritising people-first relationships), match quality (obsessing over true cultural and skills fit), radical transparency (maintaining honest communication throughout), and regional expertise (built by people who live and work in Latin America). With over 300 global clients and more than 1,000 candidates successfully hired, Lupa Hire delivers an average of 40 percent cost savings compared to traditional US-based hiring, whilst maintaining a 120-day replacement guarantee and focusing on long-term partnerships rather than volume-based placements.
