Last reviewed September 2, 2026
Direct answer
Puente screens experienced professionals from across Latin America, then matches accepted candidates with US companies that want full team members, not low-cost outsourced labor. Candidates go through a six-step process. Companies get a tighter shortlist. The public site exists to help candidates understand the market, see live roles, and make sense of country, role, salary, and platform differences before they apply.

Who is Puente for?
The faster answer is this: Puente is for candidates who already have experience and can operate at a professional English level on a US team, with the EF English Proficiency Index as a public benchmark. If someone needs a first job, training wheels, or volume applications, there are better fits.
Good fit
- You already have 2+ years of relevant experience.
- You can handle client calls, internal updates, and written communication in strong English.
- You want long-term remote work with a US company, not gig work.
- You care more about fit and match quality than sending 200 quick applications.
Probably not the right fit
- You want a public job board with hundreds of listings to mass-apply against.
- You are still building basic English or early career fundamentals.
- You want short-term freelance projects instead of a team role.
- You prefer a low-bar hiring process over a selective one.
How does Puente's 6-step vetting process work?
You complete these six steps in order so Puente and the hiring company can understand your experience, communication, and fit.
- Apply and record a video introduction. Submit your application with a short video introduction so we can assess how clearly you speak English and present yourself professionally.
- Phone screen. Join a short call to discuss your background, level of experience, career goals, and what you want from your next role.
- Recruiter interview. Complete a structured interview about your work history, working style, and ability to communicate clearly in written and spoken English.
- Client interview. Meet the US company so its team can decide whether your experience and working style fit the role and team.
- Background check. Complete a standard background verification before placement so you and the company can begin the working relationship with trust.
- AI tools certification. Complete Puente's free AI tools certification for your specific role before your first day with the company.
The six-step process usually takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on role availability and fit.
