Rodrigo Alonso Ponce Márquez
@rodrigoalonsoponcemr
I build high-performing technical teams for US clients across LATAM through full-cycle IT recruitment.
What I'm looking for
I've recruited technical talent for Unosquare, Encora, Velozient, and US-based clients, filling software engineering, DevOps, and QA automation roles across LATAM. I manage the full hiring lifecycle, from requirement intake and sourcing through candidate advocacy and offer negotiation.
At Unosquare, I was promoted to Recruitment Lead within months, managed a team of four recruiters, and improved team performance by 20% across data accuracy, pipeline quality, and cycle time. I delivered an average of 16 technically vetted, hire-ready candidates each month and closed placements in one to two weeks from first contact to signed offer.
At Encora, I consistently met or exceeded a four-placement monthly quota, reaching nine hires in peak months. I helped grow the Bolivia office from 53 to 200 employees while recruiting across Java, JavaScript, .NET, PHP, Python, Ruby, DevOps, AWS, QA, mobile, and business intelligence roles.
Today, I deliver project-based recruitment for Bolivian companies and partner directly with hiring managers on role calibration, market conditions, salary benchmarks, and targeted sourcing strategies. I work comfortably in Spanish and English using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean and X-Ray search, ATS platforms, and AI-powered recruitment tools.
