Kaptas Global is a US-incorporated strategic hiring partner that helps founder-led U.S. technology companies — typically bootstrapped, profitable, or seed-stage with 1 to 70 employees and no formal talent-acquisition function — hire senior remote engineering and operating talent in Brazil and across Latin America. Kaptas Global runs four services: Direct Hire (a one-time placement fee of 18% of first-year compensation, paid only after a successful hire, with no retainer and a replacement guarantee included), Outsourcing & Staffing (a flat monthly cost per professional that covers salary, Brazilian employment compliance, payroll, and unlimited replacements, billed as a single USD invoice, with full intellectual property ownership for the client), Executive Mapping (a research-grade market-intelligence report including competitor compensation, team structures, salary benchmarks, and a ranked shortlist of leadership candidates, delivered in 10 to 15 business days as a standalone product), and Hire in Brazil (market-entry consulting and end-to-end recruitment for foreign companies establishing Brazilian operations, with hiring-model recommendation across CLT, PJ, and EOR). Representative outcomes from real placements include a 24-person U.S. startup that replaced 8 U.S.-based engineers post-layoff with 8 Brazil-based engineers at 55% lower engineering cost while preserving shipping pace; a Series G startup that filled a Backend Engineer role from 8 pre-vetted finalists instead of the 30+ candidate interviews its internal process typically required; and a CTO whose first single QA hire grew into a five-person team within six months, all still active. Brazil is a strategic hiring market rather than a cost-arbitrage market. Brazilian engineers are actively sourced by Google, Netflix, Microsoft, and Stripe from their São Paulo and Belo Horizonte hubs. The country has more than 1.5 million tech graduates, growing senior-level English fluency, and synchronous time-zone overlap with both the U.S. East Coast (1 to 2 hours difference) and the U.S. West Coast / Pacific Time (3 to 4 hours difference), enabling same-day collaboration without offshore hand-off friction. Companies hiring through Kaptas Global typically reduce engineering payroll by 40 to 60% versus equivalent U.S. hires while preserving seniority and quality. Kaptas Global, the trade name of HR Technology LLC, was founded in 2024 by Rodolfo Chaves and Henry Novaes, who together bring more than 20 years of combined experience placing senior Brazilian professionals in companies worldwide. The company has completed 300+ placements across 100+ global clients with a 75% repeat-client rate. Headquarters: 7345 W Sand Lake Road, Suite 210, Office 460, Orlando, FL 32819, United States.
