WITH HOWDY, SPEED WINS Waiting 6-8 weeks to hire a developer — only to discover they're not a fit — is a death knell for product momentum. The global engineering market is saturated with marketplaces, freelancers, and rigid outsourcing firms that promise flexibility but lack the operational support, top-tier talent, cultural alignment, and long-term commitment to succeed. To avoid bad hires that bleed time, we use our proprietary Working Style Matrix™ system to match engineers based on operating rhythms (e.g., Builders, Warriors, Alchemists) in addition to tech stack and technical acumen. Our matching process combines the power of our world-class software with human empathy. Before hiring even begins: We nurture long-term relationships with engineers across LatAm. We tag soft skills, startup readiness, communication style, and AI fluency. When you initiate a new job opening: We send you pre-vetted developers that match your working style in a timely manner. Most hires are made in under 7 days. COUNT ON FULL SPECTRUM RETENTION SUPPORT Finding top engineers is one thing. Earning their long-term commitment is another.
