Jacobo Ortega
By combining recruitment and EOR services, we help tech companies scale quickly and efficiently while navigating the complexities of Mexico’s labor market.
Jacobo founded Everscale Group in 2020 around an unusual combination: tech recruitment bundled with “Subsidiary-as-a-Service,” so a foreign company can stand up a Mexican software R&D team and have the legal entity, payroll, and engineers handled in one place.
That integrated recruitment-plus-EOR model is what’s made Everscale a common first stop for both startups and Fortune 500 firms expanding into Mexico.
