At the same time, Latin American human capital is highly competitive, very well trained and, unlike what happens in other locations such as Asian countries, can work in time zones similar to those in the United States.
A Latin American developer today has excellent opportunities to join projects of enormous importance and global reach. And although the first impulse is to do it under the freelance modality, there is a more solid and stable alternative and with greater benefits: formally join the team of the organization in which you are going to work with the support of a company that provides managed remote work services. .
This gives you the best of both worlds: the flexibility and independence of working from your own home with the security and containment of being part of a group of people with whom you can work collaboratively, discuss alternatives or solve problems. problems that arise.
Although this process may vary from company to company, in general terms, if a developer wanted to be part of an engineering team of companies with high potential based in the United States, following this innovative model, the phases that they should go through can be summarized as follows: following:
1. Initial interview
A first interview in which a simple development exercise is carried out: basically, it serves as a filter to identify minimum technical capacities in the applicant. We call this meeting full screeningsince it allows to obtain a generic and superficial vision of the talents of those who apply.
2.Live coding
Those who pass the first instance reach a second step, almost always carried out through a video chat, in which they are given a technical interview and a more complex task is required: complete an algorithm live. (live coding) to compute a certain problem and obtain a result.
In this meeting a key figure appears for the future relationship of the developer who is applying with the work team of which he is going to be a part: a professional who accompanies him in the development of his career and who will help him achieve his purpose within the company. organization in which he works.
3. Soft skills
If the first two phases were successfully passed, the management interview is reached, focused on soft skills. Today, software development is a critical task for companies of all sizes and in all industries. Applications and data management are at the core of all organizations and their importance grows as business digitizes.
