Conexión
For candidates
Most professionals don't end up on a recruiter's website by coincidence. Probably, something is already on your mind. Your growth, your future, your family, or simply the feeling that it may be time for a new chapter.
Checklists and scripts get you through a process. They don't tell us who you actually are or what you actually want. So we talk. Properly. The genuine conversations are where the good matches come from.
We are direct and transparent because we value your time and professionalism. Yes, some of our message can be disappointing or confronting. But it is always done with the utmost respect and focused on growth.
We're small on purpose. Small means you get attention from senior people, not handed off to a coordinator. We use the best technology available so we can spend our time on the part that matters: the human side.
He wasn't on anyone's radar. Working in an adjacent industry, technically excellent, with cross-cultural ease that's hard to spot on a CV. A Dutch manufacturer entering LATAM needed exactly that. Today he's the primary contact for every Latin American client and a trusted voice inside the global technician group.
He had built strong operations for years. Quietly excellent. A Dutch floriculture company needed to bring Bogotá and Medellín under one leader. The original brief described a Dutch operator. We asked questions, and things changed. He unified the Colombian operation, built out the team, and the business is growing faster than it has in years.
A Curaçao tech firm couldn't unlock growth. The island didn't have enough developers. The company had thought about hiring in Colombia. But held back. We had honest conversations about how it works in practice. The first hires we placed have since become the anchor of a Colombia-based team.
She had a strong track record in energy and deep LATAM relationships, but no clear next move. A Miami-based energy company needed a CCO to enter new countries. We took time to understand both sides. She's now CCO for LATAM, building the regional strategy from the ground up.
No autoresponders, no ghosting.
No CV review. We want to understand where you are and where you're going.
We never share your details with a company without your explicit permission. Ever.
Most of the professionals we work with weren't. That's the whole point.
PERUVIAN, BASED IN BOGOTÁ
Jen leads most of our hospitality, floriculture, and NGO searches. Born in Perú, she spent years in the Dominican Republic hiring for one of the island's largest resorts. She has also founded and run a restaurant delivery business and managed the opening of a restaurant from scratch. Candidates sitting across from Jen aren't talking to a recruiter who has only ever recruited.

Dutch, based in Bogotá since 2021
Robert moved to the US as VP HR for North America at a Dutch company, then ran a 175M USD operation as Executive VP Americas. He founded Conexión in 2020 to build the firm he wished he'd had access to back then: less formal, more transparent, with a recruiter who has actually run a business and made hiring decisions under real pressure.
