While many technology companies require that their employees will return to their offices and emphasize the building of personal groups, they also turn into margins in Latin America to find programmers-especially AI models after training.
ReminderA full stack of controlled developers in Latin America sees a new increase in demand for engineers who can help in LLM training, said co -founder and CEO of Revelo Lucas Mendes. Revelo has more than 400,000 developers on its platform and facilitates the recruitment and payment process for its US customers.
Mendes said this recent increase in demand for Revelo’s talent is driven by the next phase of the AI revolution: after LLMS training.
“There is a struggle for data, and particularly human data expertise, which can really help LLMS be better at very specific high -value tasks,” Mendes said. “Codification is one of these tasks. And what happened last year is that we saw an increase in demand from [companies] Creating fundamental models looking for engineers who can be effective experts and who can provide these human data to help their LLM code better. ”
LLM training recruitment represented 22% of Revelo revenue in 2024.
Mendes added that this demand often looks like companies that come to them to find experts in specific coding languages to help fill the gaps in the posting they are already doing.
Revelo provides employees of US Intuit, Oracle and Dell businesses, including “almost every major AI Hyperscale provider”.

Revelo is not the only company that wants to connect US companies with developers in Latin America. Other companies such as Terminal, Tecla and Chend are just a few with the same goal.
This demand for developers specializing in post -training is only the latest recruitment trend that Revelo has managed to lead since it was founded at the end of 2014.
Mendes said he started Revelo with co -founder Lachlan de Crespigny because the war for talent was tight at that time and thought that if they created a network of talented talents in Brazil, companies could find the talent they needed.
The demand was there and Revelo continued to raise more than $ 48 million in business funds funding from businesses such as Social Capital, FJ Labs and Valor Capital Group. The company was also expanded by Brazil and to wider latam.
The Covid -9 pandemic expanded Revelo’s potential to arrive “massively”, Mendes added. “Suddenly we started entering the US companies who suddenly realized that you could really have high quality distributed teams and have some of these engineers in Latin America,” Mendes said. “What would usually happen is that they will hire one or two and really like quality and especially cost costs and say,” Hi, I want more of them, where do I find them? “”
While the rise of distributed and remote work has begun to fade as companies return to personal work, Revelo has managed to continue to grow. Mendes joked that he hates being the guy who contradicts Buzz, but demand for Latam talent has not been reduced to tech’s movement back to the office.
Mendes said he believes that the demand for US companies for these Latin America developers remained because these developers fall more into the “Nearshoring” category of workers outside the US, as opposed to “offshoring”. He believes that Revelo’s talent is at the same time in the zones, as their customers make these hires much more attractive.
Revelo sees enough demand that he has acquired five other competitors who have focused on Latam talent in the past 30 months Contralto and Parameterwhich were announced in March.
“We are creating worldwide backbone for AI’s age and there will be more acquisitions in the future,” he said.
