Hello. We're ChapinTech
At ChapinTech, we empower U.S. technology organizations to expand efficiently by sourcing, attracting, and integrating top-tier nearshore talent from Guatemala. Our focus is on providing the necessary services for seamless integration and growth, ensuring your team is dedicated, culturally aligned, and committed to your long-term success.
Our Background
We understand what it takes to build outstanding software products. Our founders have led technology organizations in the U.S., driving disruptive innovations through best practices. This experience has shaped our approach, emphasizing the importance of dedicated teams over short-term outsourcing solutions.
Our Approach
Building great software requires long-term commitment by fully aligned teams sharing the same goals, culture, and priorities. Traditional outsourcing models often fall short, offering consultants for single projects rather than committed, long-term team members who fully integrate into your organization.
ChapinTech offers the transparency and services that allow you to maintain similar control over your nearshore team as you have at home. This eases full integration, leading to higher productivity, better morale, and more innovation. Our extensive experience in software engineering, wide network in Guatemala, and deep understanding of local business norms help you efficiently find, attract, and integrate the best candidates. Additionally, hiring in Guatemala allows you to access top-tier talent at very attractive costs, ensuring you add great people who make a significant impact.
Our services:
-
Employer of Record Services: We legally employ your team, ensuring compliance with local regulations and norms.
-
Recruiting Services: We help you understand the local talent market, and find and hire the best candidates for your needs.
Our approach allows you to enter new markets gradually, adopting a test-before-invest strategy that limits risk without hindering potential growth.
Why Guatemala?
We chose Guatemala as our talent market for several compelling reasons. Its proximity to the U.S.—just a short flight from major cities—facilitates easy communication and collaboration. Guatemala boasts a young, increasingly tech-savvy population that is familiar with and admires U.S. culture. The country is home to universities with excellent computer science departments, such as Universidad Del Valle, Galileo, and Francisco Marroquín, ensuring a steady stream of highly qualified graduates. Additionally, Guatemala offers a business-friendly environment and a workforce with a strong work ethic, at a significantly lower cost than in the United States.
Leveraging our deep business network in Guatemala, along with connections to academic and technology centers, we are well-positioned to help you find and attract the best talent. At ChapinTech, we are committed to making your near-shoring experience seamless, efficient, and successful.
