In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche continue their conversation with Agustin Morrone, CEO and co-founder of Vintti, a company improving the remote hiring process for U.S. and Canadian businesses across Latin America.
From his base in Barcelona, Agustin explains how Vintti combines AI, automation, and cultural alignment to build remote teams faster while keeping people at the center.
Vintti’s mission remains clear: help companies hire top Latin American talent in under 21 days, saving up to 60 percent on payroll while maintaining quality and trust. In Part 2, we explore how Vintti’s evolving systems make the remote hiring process smarter and more scalable.
Using AI to Strengthen the Remote Hiring Process
Vintti’s young, tech-driven team approaches work with an “AI-first mindset.” Rather than replacing people, AI removes repetitive tasks that slow down the remote hiring process.
Originally, every interview was manual. Now, AI manages more than half of all first-round interviews, rating English proficiency and technical expertise. Recruiters then step in to evaluate communication style and cultural fit.
“AI helps us focus on what matters most,” Agustin says. “It saves time and allows our recruiters to build stronger relationships.”
Automation Tools That Simplify Remote Recruitment
Vintti automates much of its communication and reporting to improve efficiency. Instead of sending raw resumes, it builds custom, client-ready CVs using AI. Each profile merges data from interviews, LinkedIn, and client discussions into a consistent, easy-to-read document.
Automated follow-ups and feedback loops help recruiters stay engaged throughout the remote hiring process, keeping clients informed without losing the human connection.
Automation drives consistency, but empathy drives connection.
Human Insight: The Key to Remote Hiring Success
AI helps identify top candidates, yet it can’t replace intuition. Recruiters still assess tone, enthusiasm, and motivation—critical elements of cultural fit.
Similarly, Vintti maintains personal conversations with each client to understand company culture before sourcing talent. This ensures every step of the hiring process reflects both human judgment and data-driven insight.
Testing, Learning, and Improving the Remote Hiring Process
Experimentation fuels progress at Vintti. Recruiters rely heavily on LinkedIn but constantly test new tools to expand reach and reduce friction.
“We test, compare, and adapt,” Agustin explains. “If a tool adds value, we scale it. If not, we move on.”
This culture of experimentation keeps the hiring process innovative and resilient.
Cultural Patterns in Global Recruiting
Regional patterns help Vintti understand candidate strengths. Colombian professionals often shine in customer support, Argentines excel in sales, and Mexican talent frequently leads in finance.
However, Agustin cautions against stereotyping.
“Patterns are helpful, but people are unique,” he says.
That perspective ensures fairness and flexibility in every hiring process decision.
Supporting Global Teams After Placement
Once hired, contractors integrate fully into client organizations. Vintti provides behind-the-scenes support—helping with taxes, communication skills, and professional development—while avoiding cultural interference.
Support Principle: Empower independence and provide structure.
This hands-off guidance strengthens relationships and keeps the hiring process transparent from start to finish.
Discipline and Growth in the Hiring Journey
Internally, Agustin looks for self-motivated people who take ownership. He values discipline over motivation, believing that commitment leads to better long-term outcomes.
“Motivation fades, but discipline lasts,” he explains.
This mindset ensures every member of the Vintti team contributes to refining the hiring process daily.
The Future of the Remote Hiring Process
Agustin believes AI will reshape global recruiting. While some jobs will change, others will grow. Vintti plans to:
- Identify new skill trends early.
- Use automation and AI to make hiring faster and smarter.
“Companies that work with AI—not against it—will win,” Agustin concludes.
Key Takeaway
Agustin Morrone’s story shows that the modern remote hiring process depends on balance. AI delivers speed and consistency, while people provide connection and understanding. Together, they build stronger teams worldwide.
