Background and reference verification
We check history and contact references before the profile enters your process.
Recruitment
International recruiting almost always fails at the same point: you interview, choose and make an offer to someone who then does not qualify for the visa. Our process inverts that order. We verify immigration eligibility before a candidate reaches your desk, so every profile on the shortlist is someone you can actually hire.
We check history and contact references before the profile enters your process.
We assess role-specific competencies and team fit, not just the CV.
We confirm which category applies to each candidate before presenting them, not after.
A five-stage funnel built to deliver a shortlist that is legally eligible, role-validated and ready to sign.

Final shortlist
The H-1B1 comes from the Chile–US Free Trade Agreement, signed in 2003 and in force since 2004, and carries a reserved annual allocation that has never been fully exhausted. For an employer the operational difference is concrete: there is no prior USCIS petition and no lottery, so the case is processed consularly and the calendar stops depending on the US fiscal year.
| Variable | H-1B1 Chile | H-1B General route |
|---|---|---|
| Lottery Whether access depends on a selection with more registrants than visas. | None | Yes, each March |
| USCIS petition Whether the employer must file an I-129 and wait for approval. | No — consular route | Yes, I-129 |
| Annual cap How many visas exist, and who you compete with for them. | 1,400, Chile only | 85,000, global |
| Time to visa From signed offer to the stamp in the passport. | Weeks | Months, tied to March |
| Maximum duration How long you can stay before the category runs out. | No cap, renews yearly | 6 years |
