Develpreneur: Become a Better Developer and Entrepreneur Redefining Remote Hiring with Agustin Morrone of Vintti (Part 1)
In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche speak with Agustin Morrone, CEO and co-founder of Vintti. The company helps U.S. and Canadian businesses master remote hiring across Latin America. From Barcelona, Morrone shares how his bootstrapped startup is growing fast while staying true to its people-first culture.
Vintti's mission is simple yet bold. The team helps companies build remote Latin American teams in less than 21 days. They often save clients up to 60% on payroll costs. More importantly, they deliver strong talent that fits culturally and professionally. Morrone's vision redefines remote hiring as a human-centered process built on trust and shared goals.
From Argentina to Barcelona: Building a Remote Hiring VisionAgustin Morrone was born in Argentina and now lives in Spain. After earning an MBA, he joined a startup that automated financial planning for global firms. There, he discovered a major problem. Many companies could automate their systems, yet they struggled to find qualified remote professionals.
"There was a shortage of skilled professionals who understood the U.S. market and could deliver real value," Morrone explains.
That insight inspired him to launch Vintti, a company dedicated to remote hiring for North American clients. The focus on Latin America made sense. The region shares time zones, values, and strong English skills. This approach ensures clients receive not only technical expertise but also a cultural match.
Building Trust Through Secure Remote HiringWhen companies hire for finance or accounting roles, data security becomes critical. Morrone explains how Vintti protects both sides of the partnership.
"We never access client data. Clients install their own software and security measures," he says.
The company runs detailed background and reference checks. It verifies professional histories and technical skills. As a result, every candidate meets strict ethical and professional standards. This attention to detail makes remote hiring safe and reliable for both clients and talent.
Culture and Fit: The Heart of Remote Hiring SuccessAbout 85% of Vintti's workforce operates as contractors. However, the company goes far beyond quick placements. Morrone believes the hardest part of remote hiring is not skill—it's culture.
"The toughest thing to find is cultural alignment," he says. "Technical skills matter, but culture determines success."
Rather than keeping a bench of idle candidates, Vintti searches for the perfect match each time. Every placement aligns with a client's values, work style, and long-term goals. As a result, teams perform better and relationships last longer.
Scaling Remote Hiring Through Relationships and CommunityGrowth at Vintti has come through real relationships, not ads. Paid campaigns have been challenging. However, outreach-driven marketing has delivered great results.
"We focus on relationships—LinkedIn engagement, conferences, and meeting clients face-to-face," says Morrone.
This people-first approach gives Vintti a clear advantage in today's remote hiring market. After the pandemic, many leaders wanted personal connection again. Therefore, Vintti's direct and genuine approach builds credibility and long-term trust.
Leadership Lessons in Remote HiringInterestingly, one of Vintti's biggest challenges is its own remote hiring. Morrone personally interviews each finalist to protect company culture.
"As CEO, I see myself as the guardian of our culture," he explains. "I hire people with ambition, alignment, and attitude."
To support growth, Vintti invests heavily in processes and standard procedures. These systems ensure consistent onboarding and operations.
"When you grow fast, it's hard to document everything," Morrone admits. "But once you find what works, you have to capture it and scale it."
Key TakeawayAgustin Morrone's story offers a roadmap for modern remote hiring. His journey proves that success comes from trust, integrity, and strong relationships. Vintti shows that hiring across borders is not just about filling roles—it's about building teams that share values and vision.
