The problem

Every week a key position sits empty, someone else is doing two jobs. Projects slip, teams fall behind and your best people start to burn out.

Mexico’s executive talent isn’t on job boards or LinkedIn. It’s working inside your competitors, performing and well paid. Looking for it with a job posting is fishing with a broken net.

Tech talent is among the most sought-after in Mexico. People with leadership experience, such as development managers, architects or IT directors, get constant offers, and many already work remotely for US companies that pay in dollars.

On top of that, tech CVs are full of acronyms that say nothing about whether someone can lead a team. The challenge isn’t finding someone who knows a tool, but someone who can lead with it.

Frequently asked questions

How do you vet a tech candidate?

With structured interviews using STAR methodology and competency-based assessment, focused on real experience and how the candidate has led teams. Detailed technical validation, such as a coding test, is best done by your own team at the finalist stage.

How do you compete with remote offers paid in dollars?

Salary doesn't always win. In the briefing we define what makes your position attractive (scope, stability, growth and the project itself), and we use that to approach candidates. Our support through negotiation helps close the offer without losing the finalist.

How long does the process take?

The average for mid-level positions is 28 days from briefing to accepted offer. C-level positions take 35-50 days, depending on specialization.

What guarantee do you offer?

A process guarantee agreed by contract from the start. The terms depend on the level and type of position, and they're set before the search begins.

How is ZEHR different from a job board?

We don't post openings. We run an active, confidential search among candidates who aren't looking for a job: that's the talent you never see on job boards.

What levels do you recruit for?

Mainly management, director and C-suite roles. We also support scaling startups that need their first key hires.
