Carlos Escutia is the CEO of Growrk, a remote IT management company - basically they will make sure your remote hire is equipped with a workstation that is compliant, and will update it and remove it as needed.

Not only do they provision the laptops, but they also are a SaaS that connects with the rest of your HR setup.

Julio Saenz has built offices for 2 of the largest tech companies in the US - Lyft and Zillow! Only he built them both in Mexico City.

Lyft CDMX has hundreds of employees. Zillow already has 50 and that is in 6 months 🤯

I got the privilege to sit down with Julio and distill his wisdom in to a 45 minute conversation! Perfect for that Mexico City rush hour commute 😂 😭

We covered some interesting topics. Including:

• Remote within Mexico or Office?

• What are the qualities of a good Country Manager?

• How Mexicans interview differently than Americans

• How the Mexican Dream is no longer moving to the US, but rather making US money at home.

This episode explores a specific use case of hiring offshore talent. I got the opporuntiiy to speak with Arlton Lowry of Few.io - a 25 person + design agency based in Little Rock Arkansas.

This is a fascinating conversation with Stephen Sper of Salesloft, who helped build a tech focused office in GDL.

Salesloft is a popular sales enablement SaaS tool - with 700+ people. HQ in Atlanta. They got started in Guadalajara in 2018 and now have around 73 people based there. Mostly RoR developers, but they've branched out from there. They even built presences in other parts of Mexico - CDMX, Colima, Aguascalientes....

We'll cover:

• How Salesloft got started in GDL.
• How to build a real culture so that the offshore team feels part of the company.
• Building out more talent pools in places like Colima, Aguascalientes and CDMX.
• Making sure you don't run low on laptops!
• And much more!
