AI-powered recruitment and RPO for tech talent in Brazil and Latin America
Associated Nerd is a boutique recruitment and RPO firm using AI to accelerate hiring cycles for technology and design roles. The tech stack reveals a dual-engine architecture: a data pipeline layer (Python, SQL, BigQuery, Airflow, Prefect, dbt) powering candidate analytics and media data validation, paired with operational tools (Salesforce, SAP) for client management and delivery. Active projects around Guepardo tax integration with SAP, campaign optimization, and data architecture evolution indicate a shift from pure recruitment toward building internal data infrastructure—suggesting the firm is maturing from service delivery into a tech-enabled operating model.
