Hire the best Mexican talent​

At Talexa, we specialize in connecting talented professionals with exciting job opportunities.

Our team is based in Guadalajara, a city in western Mexico that has a reputation as the center of the country’s technology industry and is often referred to as the “silicon valley of Mexico.” The city has a large number of technology companies, startups, and research and development centers, and is home to a number of important technology and innovation events.

What’s so special about hiring in Mexico? Well, it turns out a lot of things 

What’s so special about hiring in Mexico?

Skilled talent

Over the past 20 years, the Mexican federal government has invested in new tech schools, expanded software engineering programs within existing universities, built a city-wide infrastructure, and, through promotion and scholarships, encouraged young people from around Mexico to come and study in Guadalajara.

Their efforts have been successful – students from all over the country and world have flocked to Guadalajara’s 230 universities, which turn out, on average, 18,000 new IT graduates per year.

Time Zone

If you’ve ever worked with a dev team in Asia or Europe, you know the hassles of a 12-hour shift in the timezone. Your staff is just getting in the office, and the outsourcing team has just checked out for the night. Just as they come back online, your staff is already asleep.

Today’s iterative and short-interval engineering methodologies require communication and lots of it. Guadalajara is on central US time.
US-based engineers, product managers, and users can communicate with the development team any time, all day, every day.

Proximity

Every so often, an in-person meeting between all the stakeholders is a must. With over a dozen direct flights between San Francisco and Guadalajara every day, you can leave in the morning and be in Guadalajara in 3 1/2 hours.

Join us for a tasty lunch, spend the afternoon meeting with the development team, and then hit the airport for the evening flight. You’re back in your office the following day. Or better yet, stay overnight and enjoy one of Mexico's most picturesque colonial towns.

Cultural and language affinity

Virtually all Mexican software engineers are fluent in English, and most college coursework is taught in English.

What’s more, Mexicans share a cultural background with the US – they grew up with the same movies, television, and music.
Communication patterns are likewise the same on both sides of the border – “yes” means “yes,” “no” means “no,” and “tomorrow” means “tomorrow.”
