S2HQ (pronounced "S-two-H-Q") is the brand of Swiftshore™ — a nearshore tech staffing and consulting venture run by ILTIAM LLC.
With the $100,000 H-1B fee making US visas a dead end for most tech companies — especially early startups — hiring from Mexico and LATAM became the obvious move: same time zones, direct flights, world-class engineers.
Hire in Mexico and LATAM. Every engineer holds a valid US visa for travel, works US time zones with a US-grade setup, and can fly to a US office on a day's notice.
Recently funded startups in their initial phase — teams that need full-stack and forward-deployed engineers immediately, at economics that respect burn.
From "SwiftShore™ HQ" came the short form S2HQ — the S-squared of SwiftShore™. It's the logo, and the name everyone actually says.
ILTIAM is an approved member of the Claude Partner Network. Our engineers train and deploy on best-in-class AI tooling.
Instead of scraping job boards, we run a free 6-week Forward Deployment Engineer program. Our bench is people we've trained, tested, and watched ship.
The goal isn't just staffing — it's building a startup accelerator culture across Mexico and LATAM, one deployed engineer at a time.
