For Companies
Wizhire is run by a single partner based in Bogotá, Colombia.
David Rincon — Founder. Senior technical recruiter with a track record placing engineering talent across North America, South America, and Europe. Clients have included Uber, Withings, Perfaware, and TurboAI, .
We work with CTOs, Heads of Engineering, VPs of Engineering, and technical founders at Series A, B and C startups — companies where engineering quality directly drives business outcomes and a bad senior hire costs 6–12 months of recovery time.
Our clients have typically been burned before: by agencies that don't understand the stack, by RPOs running volume plays, or by processes that drag for months and still produce wrong-fit candidates. They need a partner who can evaluate technical depth — not just screen for keywords — and who compresses the decision cycle without sacrificing rigor. Wizhire is built for that constraint profile. We are not the right partner for high-volume hiring without a defined profile. We are the right partner when you know what "good" looks like in your stack — whether you need one Staff engineer or ten Semi Senior engineers — and you need a partner who evaluates for signal rather than just filling seats.
Wizhire is not an RPO. We do not run volume pipelines or spray resumes. We are not a generalist staffing agency. We do not work with companies that need undifferentiated volume without a defined hiring bar. We are a single-partner boutique firm for technical searches where evaluation quality and decision confidence matter more than candidate volume.
Our strongest geographic coverage is Latin America, with particular depth in Colombia, Argentina, Brasil, Mexico, Peru, and Chile. We specialize in placing LatAm engineers — operating in US time zones, communicating in English, with Staff and Principal-level technical depth — with US-based and European companies hiring remote talent. We also source globally across North America and Europe when roles require it. David is based in Bogotá, Colombia, with deep professional networks across the LatAm engineering and technology ecosystem.
Wizhire has purpose-built hiring frameworks — leveling systems, seniority rubrics, and interview scorecards — for the following technical disciplines:
Software Engineering: Backend, Frontend
Data and AI: Data Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, AI Engineering
Infrastructure and Reliability: Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps Engineering, Platform Engineering
Security: Cloud Security Engineering, Application Security (AppSec) Engineering, Network Security Engineering, DevSecOps Engineering
Product and Design: Technical Product Management (TPM), Product Design
Each framework defines IC and management tracks from entry-level through Staff, Principal, and Distinguished, with compensation benchmarks for Latin American markets and structured interview scorecards.
