Build your team in Medellín.

An office-based role, a hybrid role, and a remote role based in Medellín call for different searches. State the workplace location and attendance expectations early. If occasional meetings or travel matter, explain their frequency and who coordinates them so candidates can assess the arrangement.

For a fully remote position, consider whether city residence is essential or simply a preference. A clear reason for the location requirement helps keep the search relevant. Evaluate candidates on the work they can demonstrate rather than assumptions about a city or its workforce.

A developer search should describe the product, stack, development workflow, and scope of technical ownership. Discuss a relevant project, how the candidate tested it, and how they collaborated with others. Decide in advance whether the role includes production support or scheduled on-call work.

For virtual assistants and coordinators, focus on recurring task volume, written communication, and judgment about priorities. A short scheduling or documentation exercise can reveal how someone asks clarifying questions and handles conflicting instructions. Assess the language required for the work directly.

Agree a schedule using named time zones, including any seasonal changes in the hiring team’s location. Set expectations for meetings, independent work, response times, and escalation. Candidates should understand these commitments before reaching the offer stage.

Name the manager who will own onboarding and feedback. Prepare equipment, approved account access, process documentation, and a first assignment with a clear definition of completion. Discuss the engagement arrangement and compensation parameters before a search advances so that offer conversations are grounded in an agreed brief.
