Hire the top 1% of talent in LatAm in less than 21 days

I'm Luiz Cent, and it's great to meet you. 

If you landed here, I invite you to pause. LinkedIn is full of people trying to sell you something, and I am one of them, but only if you are buying. 

For over a decade I've been hiring talent internationally, as a hiring manager, as a business owner and as a consultant. Building top performing teams, fully remote has been a passion of mine for years and now it's our business. 

If you are looking to hire top talent, consider LatamCent, a nearshore staffing agency I founded helping USA-based companies discover the top 1% of talent in Latin America. We've helped VC backed, PE backed, and bootstrapped b2b companies find top talent in less than 21 days at 50-70% less than prices in the USA.

Taking the learnings from thousands of hires, our talent partners understand your business and goals. We've helped over 17 b2b tech companies hire Go to Market (Sales, CS, Marketing) and Engineering Talent in LatAm.

Previously, I led sales at Quolum, as a player-coach in the SDR/AE function. In less than 3 months we tripled our conversations and pipeline with half the resources. Through those conversations we re-positioned ourselves in the market, testing pricing strategies, and eventually pivoted from selling fintech to the CFO to selling cybersecurity to CISO. 

The 6 months at Quolum was a mini MBA, from board reports to Nexus/Sequoia, to selling ideas internally, it was as fast-paced as it could be taking early morning calls with India and late night calls with Australia. At Quolum I learned I never want to be a VP of sales again lol. 

Before joining Quolum, I led and grew the customer success and sales team at Mailshake, a product-led sales org that achieved over 100% YoY growth and 5+ million ARR. 

I also have a background in e-commerce growth, conversion rate optimization, SEO, and behavioral email marketing, having worked with 30+ eTailers and leading CRO programs for Optimizely's enterprise clients.

But my passion is entrepreneurship, having built eCommerce agencies, eCommerce stores, and hundreds of websites, keep shipping until one of them hits Product Market Fit. 

If you're in Miami Beach, come co work.

RevOps is quietly becoming one of the most requested roles of 2025.

We’ve seen a surge in demand from SaaS companies looking to clean up their data, improve forecasting, and connect marketing, sales, and customer success under one system of truth.

Most founders don’t realize it, but once they pass 30–50 employees, the cracks start to show:

- Leads fall through the cracks.
- Pipeline reporting becomes unreliable.
- Reps waste hours updating CRMs manually.

That’s where a great RevOps hire changes everything.

The top skills companies ask for:

✅ HubSpot or Salesforce automation
✅ Data visualization and reporting (Looker, Tableau)
✅ Process design across GTM teams
✅ Forecasting and revenue analytics
✅ Integration management (Zapier, Clay, Make, n8n, Trayio, etc.)

If you’re scaling a SaaS business and your team’s spending more time fixing systems than selling, you’re probably overdue for a RevOps hire.

💡 We’ve been helping clients across the U.S. find top RevOps talent in Latin America,  fluent in English, fast, and fully aligned with U.S. time zones.

Want to see what that looks like?

Comment “RevOps” and I’ll share examples of profiles we’ve placed recently.

We've been obsessing over AI in recruiting, not to replace recruiters, but to 10x them.

1. We are flooded with unqualified inbound applications, how can we use AI to cut through the noise?

2. We send thousands of outreach message every month, how can AI help us improve the response rates?

3. We run thousands of interviews per quarter, how can we use AI to analyze and improve them?

Our entire team LatamCent has made AI it's recruiting assistant, from sourcing to interviewing, to letting clients know where the market stands, AI is helping improve the processes.
