Introduction
In today’s vast and vibrant tech ecosystem, a company’s voice is its most powerful asset. It’s not silent code that wins deals, but human connection.
For leaders of tech services companies in North America, Spain, and across Latin America, the challenge isn’t just finding someone who can sell—it’s finding people who can truly connect.
The market has changed. Geography is no longer a cage; it’s a canvas. And on that canvas, Latin America shines brightly, offering passionate, bilingual, and technically savvy talent. But where do you actually find these opportunity hunters for your commercial team?
In this article, we break down the art and science of hiring SDRs and BDRs and review the 5 essential platforms to do it—highlighting in particular how Simera’s technology and Interfell’s human expertise can transform your sales team.
SDRs and BDRs: Two Sides of the Same Growth Engine
Before searching for talent, it’s crucial to understand the roles you’re hiring for. In modern sales organizations, specialization is the key to efficiency.
-
SDRs (Sales Development Representatives)
SDRs are the gatekeepers. Their mission is to manage and qualify the leads that come to you (inbound). Like expert gardeners, they nurture, water, and qualify opportunities so that only the most promising ones reach your account executives. -
BDRs (Business Development Representatives)
BDRs are the explorers. Their nature is outbound hunting. They enter cold markets, break the ice, and generate interest where none existed before. They are the spearhead of your expansion.
“The specialization of sales roles is not a luxury; it’s the engine of predictable scalability.” Aaron Ross, Predictable Revenue
By clearly defining the difference between SDRs and BDRs, you can write sharper job descriptions, choose better platforms, and align your remote hiring strategy in LATAM with your revenue goals.
Why LATAM Is the New Hub for Remote SDRs and BDRs
Latin America has become one of the main hubs of remote talent for companies in the US and Europe:
- Nearshoring advantages: Compatible time zones and cost reductions of 30–70% compared to direct hiring in the US, while maintaining high quality standards.
- A growing generation of remote-ready professionals: Tech and services talent with experience serving global clients and working 100% remotely.
- AI-powered specialized platforms: Hundreds of thousands of LATAM professionals have already been vetted for roles in sales, support, and operations.
For tech leaders, this boils down to something simple: you can build a strong, remote, multicultural, and cost-competitive commercial team in LATAM—if you choose the right platforms and partners.
Criteria for Choosing Hiring Platforms
Before we dive into the top 5 platforms, let’s align on the checklist that should guide your decision:

Choosing platforms and partners that score high on these criteria will directly impact your ability to scale a profitable, compliant, and high-performing LATAM sales team.
The 5 Best Platforms for Hiring SDRs and BDRs in LATAM
1. LinkedIn: The Professional Ocean We All Sail
LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, and LinkedIn Talent Solutions helps companies search for, attract, and manage candidates across a network of over one billion members.
For hiring SDRs and BDRs in LATAM, LinkedIn offers:
- Advanced filters by title, industry, language, experience, and country—ideal for finding SDRs and BDRs with SaaS and international markets experience
- Tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, which help you find talent faster than traditional methods, using advanced search and data
- Increasingly stronger verification features for recruiters and executives, helping reduce scams and improving trust in outreach
How to use LinkedIn well:
Use LinkedIn as a powerful source of talent hunting and employer branding, but avoid relying on it alone. Combine it with specialized partners like Interfell and Simera, who can handle deep filtering, assessment, and the legal/operational side of remote hiring in LATAM.
2. Interfell: The Partner That Looks Beyond the Job Opening
Interfell is an HR consulting firm specializing in remote IT and digital talent, with over 9 years of experience connecting companies worldwide with professionals from Latin America. It operates from the US with an active presence in LATAM and Spain. (demand10.com)
Its core focus is tech and digital talent, increasingly including revenue roles (SDRs, BDRs, Customer Success, Sales Ops) who understand technology products and complex sales cycles.
For leaders of tech services companies, Interfell brings three key layers:
- Specialized recruiting, remote staffing, and talent management
They cover the full cycle: role definition, multichannel sourcing, interviews, support during decision-making, and performance follow-up.
- Long-term relationships with tech services companies
Interfell doesn’t just “fill seats”; it aims to build strong, long-term relationships focused on building and scaling distributed sales and tech teams.
- Data and AI to support better decisions
- And the Interfell Professional Key (IPK), developed with Simera, uses AI to analyze skills, language, and cultural fit.
In other words, Interfell becomes your strategic partner for building and growing high-performance remote commercial teams in LATAM, combining human expertise with Simera’s AI-powered engine.
3. Simera: AI at the Core of the Matching Process
Simera is an AI-powered remote hiring platform that defines itself as “the place to hire global remote talent.” Its engine analyzes over 5,000 data points per candidate to generate automatic, scored shortlists.
Key advantages of SDR and BDR hiring
- AI-powered matching that analyzes thousands of data points—video interviews, skills assessments, work samples, and more—to build highly accurate shortlists
- A platform that integrates the entire process: automated sourcing, evaluation, interviews, and even payroll and local compliance, becoming a true one-stop shop for remote hiring
- Strong focus on critical remote business roles: sales, operations, customer success, marketing, and back office
For your LATAM SDRs and BDRs, this means:
- Pre-vetted talent in terms of skills and English level
- Faster time-to-hire and higher-quality matches
- Clear visibility into candidate strengths through data and structured assessments
When Simera’s AI engine powers Interfell’s IPK, the result is a very strong combination: Expert human judgment + deep data + algorithmic speed—ideal for scaling a remote commercial team in Latin America.
4. Indeed: Global Volume for Commercial Roles
Indeed is one of the largest job boards globally. Search pages for “Latin America Sales Development Representative” and “Latin America Sales Representative” show dozens or hundreds of roles, many tied to B2B sales with a regional focus.
For SDR/BDR hiring in LATAM, Indeed is useful to:
- Measure the demand for SDR and BDR profiles related to Latin America
- See what other companies offer (salary, benefits, hybrid/remote), helping you adjust your value proposition
- Generate a high volume of candidates in a short time when you need to scale quickly
Its biggest limitation is that Indeed does not include EOR, payroll, or strategic support. The real value appears when partners like Interfell or Simera take that volume and turn it into a curated shortlist aligned with your needs.
5. Computrabajo: Deeply Rooted in the Region
Computrabajo is a highly established job portal in Latin America, present in 19 countries and ranked #1 or #2 in several markets such as Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and others.
Advantages for commercial roles
- Large local candidate base in sales, customer service, and services
- A useful tool for feeding your pipeline in specific countries or cities
- Strong brand recognition with local professionals, improving response rates
Limitations
- Less oriented toward global, multi-country remote hiring models
- Less sophisticated in AI and pre-verification compared to platforms like Simera or specialized players
The smart play is to use Computrabajo as a local talent source in specific markets, while Interfell manages specialized filtering, interviews, and alignment with your global requirements.

A Final Thought
Hiring an SDR or BDR in Latin America is not simply “outsourcing” a function; it’s expanding what’s possible. It’s inviting Latin passion, resilience, and talent into the very heart of your technology business.
