Techifide helps Architecture, Engineering and Construction – AEC technology companies build dedicated nearshore software engineering teams in Brazil, combining deep industry knowledge, technical recruitment expertise and a cost-effective nearshore hiring model for software development.
Unlike general recruitment agencies or traditional software outsourcing companies, Techifide understands both the technologies used to develop modern software applications and the specific challenges facing businesses operating in the construction industry.
From BIM and digital twins to construction project management platforms and AI-powered engineering applications, AEC technology requires engineers who can solve complex problems and understand the industries their software serves.
Here’s what makes Techifide different.
1. We Understand AEC Technology Because We’ve Built It
Techifide’s experience in the AEC industry goes beyond recruitment.
Our leadership has more than 20 years of experience in software development, architecture and technology delivery, including the development of software solutions for the construction industry.
Our CEO, Ivan Gasparetto, has a background in software engineering, software architecture and Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Before focusing on nearshore engineering recruitment, Ivan developed BIM Direct, a construction technology solution recognised through industry awards associated with RICS and BIM4SME.
This technical background gives Techifide an understanding of the challenges faced by AEC software companies.
We understand that building a construction technology platform is not simply about finding developers who know React, Python or C#.
It’s about identifying engineers who can work with complex systems, industry-specific data and software products designed for construction professionals.
Why it matters: When a client describes their technical requirements, we understand the technologies, architecture and industry context behind them.
2. We’re Software Engineers Recruiting Software Engineers
One of Techifide’s biggest differentiators is our technical background.
Traditional recruitment agencies often evaluate candidates based on keywords, job titles and years of experience.
We approach recruitment differently.
Our technical experience allows us to understand the complexity of engineering roles and evaluate candidates beyond the technologies listed on their CVs.
For example, two candidates may both have eight years of experience with C# and .NET.
However, one may have spent their career developing relatively straightforward business applications, while the other has designed complex distributed systems serving thousands of users.
Their CVs may look similar, but their technical capabilities can be very different.
We focus on understanding these differences.
Our recruitment process considers:
- Technical knowledge and practical experience.
- Problem-solving capabilities.
- Software architecture and system design experience.
- Communication skills and English proficiency.
- Professional maturity and autonomy.
- Alignment with the client’s technical environment.
Why it matters: Clients spend less time interviewing unsuitable candidates and more time speaking with engineers who match their requirements.
3. We Have Experience Supporting Real AEC Technology Companies
Techifide has helped technology businesses expand their engineering teams, including companies operating in construction technology.
Our experience includes partnerships with Motif and Contruent.
Motif
Techifide helped Motif recruit 15 engineers over a 12-month period, supporting the expansion of its software engineering capabilities.
This required identifying engineers across different technologies and experience levels while maintaining a consistent recruitment process.
Contruent
Techifide has supported Contruent, a company developing capital project management technology, in expanding its engineering team.
Working with companies developing complex AEC applications gives us practical insight into the skills, experience and professional capabilities required in this sector.
Why it matters: Our experience is based on supporting real engineering teams, not simply advertising recruitment services to the construction industry.
4. We Help Companies Build Their Own Teams, Not Outsource Their Products
Traditional software outsourcing typically involves delegating a project or development responsibility to an external company.
Techifide operates differently.
Our nearshore staff augmentation model helps clients recruit engineers who become integrated members of their existing development teams.
These engineers participate in the client’s engineering processes, work with their product managers and contribute directly to their software products.
The client retains control over:
- Product strategy and priorities.
- Software architecture.
- Technical decisions.
- Development processes.
- Engineering management.
- Team structure and responsibilities.
We focus on finding suitable engineers and supporting the commercial and operational relationship.
This approach is particularly valuable for AEC technology companies developing proprietary software.
Over time, engineers develop a deeper understanding of the product, its architecture and the industry challenges it addresses.
Why it matters: Companies can expand their engineering capacity without giving up control of their technology or product development.
5. We Give Companies Access to Brazilian Engineering Talent
Brazil has a large and established software engineering workforce.
Techifide helps international companies access this talent without having to build their own recruitment operations in Brazil.
Our recruitment activities focus on identifying engineers who combine technical expertise with the communication skills and professional experience required to work successfully in international teams.
We also understand the practical challenges of recruiting remotely, including evaluating English proficiency, validating professional experience and identifying candidates who can work independently.
Brazil offers an additional advantage for US businesses: compatible working hours.
Brazilian engineers can collaborate with North American colleagues during substantial portions of the working day.
This enables real-time communication, technical discussions and participation in daily engineering activities.
Why it matters: Clients can expand their teams internationally while maintaining close collaboration between engineers.
6. We Help Companies Reduce Engineering Costs Without Compromising Recruitment Standards
Hiring experienced software engineers in the United States can be expensive.
Brazil offers an opportunity to access experienced engineering talent at competitive compensation levels.
Based on Techifide’s experience supporting international engineering teams, our partners have achieved average annual savings of approximately $100,000 per engineer.
These savings vary depending on the role, compensation expectations and engagement arrangements.
However, reducing costs is not our only objective.
We believe that hiring an unsuitable engineer at a lower rate can ultimately become more expensive than hiring the right person.
Poor technical decisions, additional management requirements and delays in product delivery can quickly outweigh initial compensation savings.
That’s why our recruitment process focuses on technical capabilities, communication and professional suitability.
Why it matters: Our objective is to help clients improve the economics of software development while maintaining strong engineering teams.
7. We Understand That Every Engineering Team Is Different
Not every company needs the same type of engineer.
A startup building its first product may need highly autonomous engineers who are comfortable working with uncertainty and changing requirements.
An established enterprise software company may need engineers experienced in complex architectures, formal development processes and collaboration across multiple teams.
Similarly, an AEC technology business developing BIM applications may require different technical capabilities from a company building construction financial management software.
We take time to understand these differences before recommending candidates.
Our recruitment approach considers not only technical requirements but also the company’s working environment, management structure and expectations.
Why it matters: Successful recruitment depends on finding engineers who can thrive in the client’s environment, not simply matching a list of technologies.
