Hire the Top 1% of Developers in Latin America.

Howdy.com makes hiring in Latin America simple, scalable, and commitment-free. Our partners enjoy unmatched flexibility, with no long-term contracts, no cancellation fees, and easy-to-adjust week-to-week engagement terms. Whether you're testing out one hire or building a 50-person team, Howdy adapts to your needs. Every company is unique, and we treat you that way.

Howdy steers clear of long-term contracts, rigid commitments, and hidden penalties. Instead, we offer a straightforward model: You only pay once your first hire starts at a flat weekly rate. Our no-surprises structure makes it easy to scale your team up or down as your needs change.

How our week-to-week engagements work

Howdy lets you pause, adjust, and end engagements as needed. Here's how it works:

  • Within the first seven days of hire. Terminate immediately without any fees.
  • First 30 days. End an engagement with notice.
  • After 30 days (teams under 10). Provide 14 days' written notice
  • After 30 days (teams of 10 or more). Provide four weeks' written notice.

No cancellation fees. Ever.

We’ve built this system to support long-term partnerships without forcing them. And if you need a different rhythm, just let us know. We’ll tailor our timelines to work for you.
