Meet Carlos Diaz

A Founder Who’s Been in Your Shoes

Carlos Diaz created Talento after 28+ years in technology and recruitment. From launching products under investor pressure to leading teams across travel, ecommerce, and SaaS, Carlos saw a major flaw in the way startups were being staffed. Talento was born to fix it, replacing cookie cutter hiring with strategic team design and practical, product focused consulting.

FAQs

Your Big Questions, Clearly Answered

From No Code to hiring order, we help you make smarter decisions early, so you scale faster, with less friction.

  • Should I build my MVP in low/no code?

    Yes, if speed matters more than scale (for now).
    Low/no code is perfect when you want to test an idea quickly, gather feedback, and keep costs low.
    It’s ideal for MVPs that don’t require complex tech or deep integrations.
    But once your idea proves traction or needs custom logic, it’s time to bring in engineers and scale properly.

    At Talento, we help you build the right team when you outgrow templates.

  • When should I hire vs outsource?

    Hire for your core. Outsource the rest.
    If it’s central to your product, IP, or long term value, hire.
    If it’s short term, experimental, or not your core, outsource or freelance.
    Use this as a guide:

    • Hire: product dev, long term roadmap, technical leadership
    • Outsource: branding, compliance, landing pages, integrations
    • Freelance: one off design sprints, testing, data wrangling

    Need help balancing talent? We find the right fit, whether permanent or contract.

  • Who should my first technical hire?

    A product minded generalist who builds, not just talks.
    Your first hire should be a full stack engineer who’s comfortable owning features end to end, cares about user experience, and thrives in ambiguity.
    Look for someone who can work closely with you, challenge ideas, and get things done without layers of process.

    Not sure how to spot one? That’s where we come in. We’ve been CTOs, we know who to trust.

  • When do I need a product team?

    As soon as feature prioritisation gets fuzzy.
    If you’re getting traction, overwhelmed with requests, or struggling to decide what’s next, it’s time.
    Start small with a Product Manager and UX Designer who can help translate business needs into smart, user friendly solutions.

    Talento helps you hire product teams that ship and listen, not just add layers.

  • What delivery methodology should I follow?

    Start with Scrum. Scale with Team Topologies.
    Scrum gives you focus, speed, and structure. Perfect for early stage teams delivering MVPs fast.
    As you grow, borrow from Team Topologies to avoid bottlenecks: align teams to value streams, reduce dependencies, and manage tech complexity.

    We match you with talent who work well in agile, not just talk about it.
