Congrats, we're building a similar platform but trying not to be a middle man as much as possible (https://ontwik-dev.com)

Where do you recommend companies first look for talent in LATAM?

Colombia and Argentina are increasingly popular

Sorry I meant from the perspective of how does one find engineers, job boards, platforms etc? Any you recommend?

As the world keeps moving full remote this type of hiring middleware makes a lot of sense, but I have reservations for the trajectory of this model. First, yes, companies in US/Canada and Europe will look for different regions (including LATAM) to source their talent needs. And I do believe that many companies will rely on middleware like this to handle contract and payments. It's great that you're setting up yoursel…

The first problem with the model is that the income cannot come from a small group of clients, because if one cancels the contract everything goes to the floor. example revenue top 10 <70%
