How we work with talent →The 5-Lens Method
A published framework for senior LATAM hiring. Every shortlisted candidate is defended through five independent lenses, each scored 1–5 with written evidence.
Craft
Role-specific expertise, output quality, and measurable impact.
Context
Proven experience at the same stage, pace, and operating cadence as your company.
Communication
Clear async writing, live verbal precision, executive presence, and role-level English.
Cultural Fluency
Ability to navigate European and US norms in feedback, escalation, autonomy, and decision rhythm.
Drive
Purpose, ownership, resilience, and motivation aligned to the role, the team, and the stage.
Boutique standards, in numbers.
We built Tessera because we made the journey ourselves.
We built Tessera because we made the journey ourselves.
We built careers across LATAM and Europe before building the company we wished had existed along the way.
We know what it takes for ambitious LATAM professionals to thrive internationally. We know what companies need before they trust someone with senior responsibility across borders. And we know what becomes possible when both sides are matched thoughtfully.
Tessera was built to make that process more thoughtful, more human, and more effective — on terms both sides are proud of.
The promises we make on both sides — published, signed, and binding on us.
-
We answer every application.
Including the rejections. Within seventy-two hours. The staffing industry's defining failure mode is silence — we refuse to participate in it.
-
We disclose salary bands before you apply.
If a client refuses to share the band, we don't take the search. Pay clarity is the floor of dignity.
-
We never send a candidate to a company we wouldn't work for ourselves.
We vet clients harder than competitors do. Some companies pay well and treat people poorly. We walk away from those.
-
We give written feedback on every final-round outcome.
Even when the answer is no. Especially when the answer is no.
-
We back every placement for ninety days.
Three times the industry standard. If a placement doesn't work, we re-search — at no fee — until it does.
