ABOUT US

Great talent isn't limited by borders . Neither should your hiring strategy be.

Kala is a recruitment partner helping US startups and SMBs build stronger teams in the US and internationally.

Business is already global. Companies use software built around the world, sell to customers across borders, and work with suppliers thousands of miles away. So why should hiring be limited to a few miles around us?

The world is big, and great talent is everywhere. The challenge is knowing where to look and how to find it. Sometimes that’s in the US. Sometimes it’s across Latin America, Europe or other international markets.

Our job is to understand what each company needs, identify where the strongest talent is, and connect them with people who can make a real impact on their business.

Hire who you need, wherever they are.

The founders

Since 2023, kala has partnered with more than 34 startups and SMBs, helping them build teams across the US and international markets.

Founder

Before founding kala, Ayelén built her career in recruitment, working with companies ranging from Big Four firms to early-stage startups and building teams across product, engineering and strategic roles.

Trinity Galvani

Co-founder & COO

Before founding Kala, Trinity spent 5+ years helping US companies build and scale high-performing teams, from early-stage startups to post-IPO organizations. Her work has focused on leadership, sales, marketing, and other complex and niche searches across the United States. She's experienced recruiting from every side of the table, including in-house, agency, and independent consultancy. Much of her career has been spent as an early hire, including serving as the founding Head of Recruitment for a London-based recruiting agency, where she helped build the function from the ground up. She has also built, trained, and managed high-performing recruiting teams across Latin America, giving her a deep understanding of how to build effective recruiting operations across markets. Today, she brings that experience to Kala, overseeing the processes, systems, and recruiting infrastructure behind every search. Her focus is simple: build a recruiting operation that can scale with our clients without compromising on quality, speed, or the caliber of talent we deliver.

The founders

Based in Buenos Aires, borderless at heart.

After a few travel-heavy years, we decided to establish our main HQ in Argentina and opened our permanent office at WeWork Buenos Aires. But we're still very much cross-border. With team members across Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, the US, and beyond, we're borderless at heart.
