Wizdaa
Wizdaa helps startups build remote engineering teams with vetted Latin American developers and manages onboarding, payroll, benefits and taxes for them.
Wizdaa, founded in 2021, builds remote engineering teams for startups by connecting them with vetted developers from Latin America. The company operates across the United States and Latin America and screens for engineers who can work within U.S. time zones. It is a certified minority-owned company.
Its Developer Vetting & Matching Service applies a six-stage screening process covering technical assessments, English fluency and cultural fit, selecting from what the firm describes as the top 1% of engineers and matching them to client startups. Beyond matching, Wizdaa provides team scaling infrastructure to place a single engineer or stand up an entire engineering team.
The company also handles the back office: onboarding, payroll, benefits administration and taxes for placed remote developers. Its stated scale figures include an average developer rate of $30 per hour and client savings of 30% or more compared with traditional hiring. Technical domains span technical recruiting, engineering staffing, remote team building, technical assessment and vetting, payroll and benefits administration, and HR operations.
Wizdaa positions its work as mission-driven, aimed at helping startups extend their runway and overcome hiring constraints, with an emphasis on cultural fit alongside technical excellence and on giving founders a hands-off experience so they can concentrate on shipping product.
