Driven by his passion for building web and mobile products, in 2010 our founder, Andrés Max, started Ideaware. We started working with fast-growing startups in Silicon Valley. We started as an agency, but in 2015 we pivoted to a staff augmentation firm working out of Colombia. We’ve hired hundreds of amazing people to work as employees and also staffed our partners with the best talent.
Partners, not clients
We invest in long-term relationships, working with our partners to not only support their hiring needs, but also providing support everyday.
We're transparent
We work with our partners in full transparency, every step of the way we communicate and discuss any issues.
People, not software
We're not an auto-matching software. We listen to your needs, screen, test and bring you only the best candidates that fit your team.
We work from experience
Our team has both the long term experience as well as a huge network of qualified professionals to help you.
