When Luis Derechin left JackBe after the exit, executives he’d worked with started calling. They knew he’d built an integrated US-LatAm engineering team. They wanted help doing the same.
He said yes. Then yes again. Then yes enough times that by 2014, it had stopped being favors and started being a practice.
He spent the next several years building nearshore teams for growth-stage companies through a staffing firm — helping operators do what he had once done for himself. The framework that became REMOTE Intelligence™ was already running, even if it didn’t have a name yet.
Working inside another staffing firm taught Luis what was wrong with the model -- not the talent, the structure. Most staffing firms hide their margin. The professionals doing the work eventually find out the firm is making more than they are. That's the day retention starts breaking.
He realized the framework couldn't run on a model with hidden incentives. Selection, integration, performance, retention -- everything REMOTE Intelligence™ depends on -- requires alignment. And alignment requires transparency.
In 2019, Luis and his co-founder Fernando launched NirYu to run the full framework with transparency built in from the foundation. The math had to be visible to everyone -- the client, the professional, the firm.
Five years on, NirYu is the framework running at scale.
More than 20 people work inside NirYu, supporting hundreds of professionals placed with US, Canadian, and European clients across 11 Latin American countries. The framework that started as one founder's experience now runs every engagement, with the same transparency commitment Luis built the company on.
