The challenge
66degrees needed a stable, high-quality engineering team in Costa Rica that could grow alongside their business as a leading Google Cloud partner. The challenge wasn't just hiring — it was building a culture that retained top talent for the long haul.
What we built
Crest Partners has managed every layer of 66degrees' Costa Rica operation for over a decade — from legal entity and payroll to culture programs, career development, and retention. We've recruited and onboarded multiple cohorts of engineers, architects, and technical leads.
The outcome
Less than 1% involuntary turnover across 11+ years of partnership. The Costa Rica team has become deeply embedded in 66degrees' product and client delivery — not a satellite office, but a core part of the company. This engagement is a proof point for what long-term operational excellence looks like.
