Our Principles
We believe that we gather more info by having genuine conversations with candidates. Checklists and scripts block us from uncovering your real potential and ambition.
Having conversations versus interviews.
We are direct and transparent because we value your time and professionalism. Yes, some of our message can be dissapointing or confronting. But it is always done with the upmost respect and focused on growth.
Transparency is showing respect
Conexión is boutique by design. We are very ok with being small, agile and focused. We bring a level of personal attention that most agencies or firms can not deliver. Meanwhile, we work with the latest and best in class technology. This allows us to put all our attention to human interaction.

Real situations. Real outcomes.
A Dutch manufacturing firm entering LATAM
They’d already won projects in the region but needed their first permanent presence: a senior field technician who could support Latin American clients independently and represent the company internationally.
Most firms would have searched the obvious talent pool. We looked at adjacent industries, focused on technical profile and cultural bridging capability, and reached professionals who weren’t on anyone’s radar.
The person we placed is now the primary contact for all Latin American clients, fully embedded in the global technician group and trusted by both sides.
Dutch floriculture company growing in Colombia
They had two separate operations, outside Bogotá and Medellín, that needed bringing together under one experienced operational leader. Someone who could professionalize the structure, build the team, and position the business for its next phase.
Their Dutch HR team had no visibility into the Colombian talent market. We did. We also fine-tuned the original brief; the profile they were describing was built for a Dutch operation, not a Colombian one.
We placed a senior candidate within four weeks. He has been instrumental in unifying and growing the Colombian operation, building a high-performing team of sales professionals and agronomists.
A Curaçao tech firm looking for team expansion
Software development and system administration roles were going unfilled while the business was growing. The island talent pool couldn’t support the demand.
The client had considered building a remote team in Colombia. but held back. Managing a fully remote team in another country felt like a risk they weren’t ready to take. We didn’t push.
We had honest conversations about how Colombian developers actually work their experience with remote setups for US and European companies and professionalism. We helped the client understand what they were really hesitant about, and what the reality on the ground actually looked like. They started with a small group. Then went all in.
US Energy company growing in Colombia
A Miami-based energy company wanted to grow its market share across Latin America, entering countries where it had no presence and strengthening its position where it did. They needed a Chief Commercial Officer who could build and execute a regional sales strategy from the ground up. Bilingual, senior, with a strong energy sector background and the credibility to open doors in markets the company hadn't yet cracked.
We mapped the market and found the right person. We took the time to fully understand the company's strategic vision, objectives, and what they were really looking for in this role.
Our top candidate performed with distinction at every level of the interview process and was hired. The company has its CCO for LATAM.
