I'm a Canadian engineer who's lived in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca for nearly a decade. Hola is the tool I wanted when I was trying to figure out where the good remote jobs are.

Which companies actually hire remote from down here? Which pay rates that reflect the person, not the country? Which treat the timezone overlap as the advantage it is? The answers existed — scattered across Slack threads, LinkedIn posts, and half-remembered conversations. Nowhere in one place. Nowhere vetted.

So I started keeping a list. The list got researched. Then structured. Then other people asked me for it. Turns out I wasn't the only one who needed it.

Every decision runs through one filter: does it get you closer to a job worth having? If it doesn't, it doesn't ship.

The research is the product. The companies on the feed aren't a CRM scrape — they're the ones I'd apply to myself.
