About

Who We Are

Local Excellence and Global Reach

ScrumBytes is a talent acquisition firm built for companies that need senior technology hires without the overhead of big-agency fees or the risk of bad fits. Every candidate is pre-vetted by our own engineers.

With presence across the USA, Canada, and Latin America, we source and screen talent aligned to your timezone, tech stack, and culture — so you hire right the first time.

"We don't just send resumes. We send candidates we'd hire ourselves."

WHAT WE DO

Talent acquisition that actually delivers

We don't blast resumes and hope for the best. Every candidate is sourced, screened, and technically interviewed by our own senior engineers before they ever reach your calendar.

Executive Search

VP of Engineering, CTO, Director of Product — we find senior leadership talent through targeted outreach, not job boards. Discreet, thorough, and fast.

Senior Engineering Hiring

Staff engineers, architects, tech leads — we source experienced builders who can ship from day one. Every candidate passes our own technical bar before reaching yours.

Technical Screening

Our senior engineers run real technical interviews — architecture, problem-solving, and hands-on assessment. You only see candidates who meet the bar, not just fill the pipeline.

Contract-to-Hire

Not ready to commit? Start with a contract engagement and convert to full-time when you're confident. We handle the transition seamlessly.

Embedded Recruiting

We plug into your hiring workflow as an extension of your team — managing sourcing, screening, and scheduling so your engineers stay focused on building.

Talent Pipeline Development

Planning to scale? We build a warm pipeline of pre-qualified candidates aligned to your roadmap — so when a role opens, you're not starting from zero.

TEAM STRATEGY

Rightsourcing: build the team your budget actually allows

Not every role needs to be in San Francisco. The best engineering teams today are intentionally blended — senior North American leaders paired with high-caliber LatAm engineers. Same timezone range. Dramatically better cost efficiency.

🇺🇸 🇨🇦

North America

Strategic & Leadership Roles

  • VP of Engineering / CTO
  • Engineering Manager
  • Principal / Staff Engineer
  • Technical Program Manager
  • Architect & Tech Lead

Full client alignment, stakeholder-facing, critical decision-making. These hires justify the premium.

🌎

Latin America

Senior Engineering & Specialist Roles

  • Senior Backend / Frontend Engineers
  • Full-Stack Developers
  • DevOps / Platform Engineers
  • QA / Automation Engineers
  • Data Engineers & ML Engineers

Timezone-compatible (EST–PST overlap), strong English communication, and deeply technical. 40–60% cost savings vs equivalent US hire.

Timezone Alignment

LatAm engineers overlap 6–8 hours daily with US East and West Coast. Real-time collaboration, no async bottlenecks.

40–60% Cost Savings

Senior LatAm engineers deliver equivalent output at significantly lower cost — without offshoring risk or quality trade-offs.

Cohesive Team Culture

We screen for communication quality, English fluency, and cultural fit — so your blended team feels like one team, not two.

Scale Faster

Hire your North American lead first, then build out the team beneath them with pre-vetted LatAm engineers. Grow without sacrificing quality.

No surprise invoices or hidden markups. We price fairly, scope clearly, and tell you upfront what it costs. Your budget is treated like it’s ours.
