Thank you so much Jay, you were so professional and helped a lot thought all the process!

Jay was so helpful, the communication was so fluid and clear.

I was advised by Jay about how to conduct the interview and be aligned with the client requirements, fortunately there was a match between my experience, knowledge and what the client was looking for.

Jay was very kind and professional, he is the best recruiter I met and thankfully he found me!

Exceptional support throughout my hiring journey

I had an incredible experience with Awana, thanks to Jairo (Jay). From our very first conversation, he helped me recognize my strengths and refine my resume to better showcase them. Throughout the entire hiring process, Jay checked in at every stage, not just to provide updates but to genuinely see how I was feeling and how things were going.

Even after I got hired, Jay followed up to make sure I was doing well in my new role. That level of care and commitment made a huge difference and truly showed how much Awana values both candidates and the companies they support.

Awesome Experience with Awana's Supportive Team

My experience with Awana was excellent. From the very beginning, during the interview stage, they were attentive to everything, outlining the next steps, setting realistic expectations, and clarifying my questions. Upon hiring, they sent me the contract and supported me throughout the Onboarding process, the first few weeks, and the first two months. They handled everything with kindness, understanding, patience, and objectivity—qualities I consider important and deeply admire in them. I’m very grateful for their excellent work!

Found a great teammate through Awana

We needed to recruit a highly specific manager role on our operations team. Awana was recommended by a professional connection in Latam. They quickly helped us refine our profile, then source, interview, and hire.

We spoke with half a dozen candidates Awana sent our way, and all of them were high quality. Then Awana graciously accommodated and helped us structure a few weeks of trial projects with our favorite candidate.

The hire we ultimately went with started full-time earlier this month, and so far things have been going very well. We are now working with Awana to help us fill another role on a different team (marketing).

We haven't given up on other sources yet and still plan to source in-house in parallel. Their service is not cheap, but for us finding the right hire is very valuable. Awana knows the talent market in Latam and has been an extremely helpful and knowledgeable partner for us. I'd recommend them as a good option for anyone looking to hire.

Great partnership for recruitment!

The experience that we from MC1 had with Awana was very satisfying due to 3 reasons:
1. Complete understanding of our needs, which resulted in candidates presented with the proper profile.
2. Willingness for collaboration from all the Awana team members.
3. Full-time support throughout the entire hiring processes.
