How we vet Latin American developers
Short answer: every candidate goes through five filters before you see them: a match against your job description, a structured interview with an English assessment, technical tests or work samples, a recruiter interview and a final SPK dossier with scores from 0 to 100 for communication, role fit, adaptability and English. You only interview the shortlist, which arrives in about 72 hours.
Five filters, from your job description to the shortlist
- Role intake and scorecardWe turn your job description into a scorecard: must-have skills, seniority by evidence (execution, autonomy or impact), English level, time zone and budget from the salary guide.
- Match against the jobWe search the Simera network and our talent pool, and screen every candidate against the scorecard. Profiles that miss a must-have do not move on.
- Structured interview and EnglishA structured interview checks communication, real experience and motivation, and rates English on the same 0 to 100 scale for every candidate.
- Technical evidenceTechnical tests, practical cases or work samples that match the role. For senior profiles we look at what they shipped and the decisions they owned.
- Recruiter review and SPK dossierA Smart Hiring recruiter reviews the evidence and builds the SPK: executive summary, Smart Scores, interview extracts, test results and logistics (time zone, availability, languages).

Common questions
How do LATAM staffing agencies vet developers?
Good agencies combine a job-specific screen, a structured interview, an English assessment and technical evidence. At Interfell every shortlisted candidate comes with an SPK dossier and comparable scores from 0 to 100.
Do you test English?
Yes. English is rated in the interview on a 0 to 100 scale and shown in the dossier, together with the level the role requires.
Does AI decide who gets hired?
No. AI helps screen and summarize; a recruiter reviews every candidate and you make the final decision after your own interviews.
How long does vetting take?
The first shortlist usually arrives in about 72 hours, because many profiles in our network already have a recorded interview or assessment.
