From workforce gap
to job-ready hire
in six steps.
We've built the process so your team spends time evaluating candidates — not managing visa paperwork or chasing immigration status updates. We don't send resumes. We send vetted candidates who've cleared a technical screen, a credential check, an English assessment, and a reference check before you ever talk to them.
Intake & Scoping
A focused call — 30 minutes — to define the role and assess fit before anyone invests more time. We ask about the discipline, seniority level, required certifications or software, project type, site location, and when you need someone on-site. We work from a pipeline of engineers we've already vetted — so sourcing starts against people we know, not a cold search.
- Role scoping: discipline, experience level, software proficiency, any sector-specific certifications
- Project context: sector, location, expected duration, team structure
- Visa pathway confirmed based on your timeline and candidate nationality
- If cross-border hiring isn't the right fit for your situation, we tell you here — before either side commits
Candidate Sourcing
We search our active pipeline first — engineers we've already vetted or worked with in prior engagements. If we don't have an immediate match, we open a targeted search. We brief candidates on the role, compensation, location, and what relocation involves before they advance — candidates who aren't genuinely committed to the move don't reach your shortlist.
- Active pipeline spans engineers across Mexico, Canada, and Chile
- Candidates briefed on project context, site expectations, and relocation requirements upfront
- Only candidates who confirm genuine interest in relocating are advanced
- Typical sourcing window: 1–2 weeks from intake
Vetting & Shortlist
Every candidate clears a six-step process before you see them. You receive a shortlist of 2–4 candidates with a written summary of each — credentials, screen results, and our honest assessment. Not a resume stack. If the shortlist isn't right, we go back and source again.
- Degree and credential verification against accreditation body records (CACEI, ACREDITA CI, or equivalent)
- Technical interview conducted by an engineer with relevant sector experience
- English proficiency assessed at B2 minimum — spoken and written, directly evaluated, not self-reported
- Reference checks with prior supervisors on comparable projects
- Work history verified for the past five years
- You receive a one-page summary per candidate: credentials, screen results, and our recommendation
In-Person Visit
Before visa filing begins, you have the option to meet your shortlisted candidate in person. We coordinate the visit end-to-end — travel, scheduling, and logistics — so your time with the candidate is spent on evaluation, not organisation. It's an optional step, but one that consistently turns a shortlist decision into a confident hire.
- Candidate travels to your site or a mutually convenient location for 2–4 days
- We coordinate flights, accommodation, and scheduling on both sides
- No visa action required for the visit — candidates travel on their existing documents
- Use the time however works best: a site walkthrough, working sessions with your team, or a structured technical assessment
- If you decide to proceed, visa coordination begins immediately after the visit
Visa Coordination
Once you select a candidate, we take over the immigration process entirely. We draft all required documents, coordinate review with licensed immigration counsel, and manage the process through approval. You sign where required — typically one document. We track status at every stage and alert you to milestones and any issues before they affect your schedule.
- TN: support letter drafted and counsel-reviewed; border crossing port selected based on approval track record; candidate briefed on crossing procedure
- H1B1: LCA filed with the Department of Labor; I-129 petition drafted and submitted to USCIS; consulate appointment scheduled and coordinated
- Premium processing available for H1B1 if timeline requires
- You are notified at each milestone — no chasing for status updates
Placement & Soft Landing™
Getting the visa approved is the easy part. Relocating to a new country — often with a family, no local network, and a first week on a new job site — is where placements succeed or quietly fall apart. Soft Landing™ is our 90-day program to make sure the engineer actually settles, not just shows up. We stay alongside the person, not just in touch with the employer.
- Pre-arrival orientation: U.S. workplace norms, site culture expectations, practical relocation logistics — so day one isn't also orientation day
- Housing and schooling guidance: we help the engineer and their family find neighborhoods, understand school enrollment, and navigate the basics of setting up a life — not just a job
- Buddy system: we connect each new arrival with other engineers we've placed in the same region, so they have a peer network from day one instead of starting from zero
- Community building: as our network grows in each market, we facilitate connections between placed engineers — shared experience is the fastest path to real roots
- Regular check-ins with the engineer focused on how they're settling — cultural adjustment, family adaptation, anything making the transition harder than it needs to be
- Employer contact point: we stay available to your HR or site lead for anything logistical on their end — visa questions, renewal timing, role changes — without overstepping into work that's rightly under your management
How long does it actually take?
Timeline depends on the visa pathway. TN moves faster — adjudicated at the border, no USCIS queue. H1B1 requires a federal filing but remains lottery-free.
Timelines are typical for well-scoped roles. Actual duration depends on candidate availability and employer response speed. We track every stage and flag delays before they affect your schedule.
