How Q2 Built and Transferred a 57-Person Mexico Tech Hub 

In short:  CodersLink gave Q2 a way to start building its Mexico organization before Q2’s own local entity was fully established. The team could begin hiring and operating in Monterrey while CodersLink handled the recruiting and employment infrastructure needed to support the expansion.

Phase 1  — Validate the operating model:

•  Assessed Monterrey as the target location for Q2’s Mexico expansion.

•  Provided local market context around salaries and available technical talent.

•  Supported planning around compliance, employment requirements, and the future entity transition.

•  Established the Build-Operate-Transfer structure around Q2’s long-term ownership goal.
  
  

Phase 2 — Build and operate the team: 

•  Recruited and vetted talent across technical, product, implementation, and business functions.

•  Managed payroll and employment infrastructure while the Mexico operation was being established.  

•  Supported onboarding logistics, including computers, office equipment, and personalized welcome kits.

•  Adapted recruiting and operational support as Q2’s hiring needs expanded.

Phase 3 —  Prepare the entity transfer:

•  Built the team while Q2 developed its own Mexican legal entity.

•  Supported the operational transition from CodersLink-managed employment to Q2 ownership.

•  Maintained continuity so the existing team could continue operating through the transition.
•  Completed a documented 24-month pilot-to-entity progression.

Key decision: Q2 chose to build capacity before its Mexico entity was fully operational. CodersLink provided the recruiting and employment infrastructure needed to launch the team immediately while preserving a path to eventual ownership by Q2. 

The Team:  What began as a way to reduce hiring pressure in Austin became a substantial Mexico technology operation. CodersLink supported Q2 across recruiting, employment infrastructure, logistics, and the transition toward an independently operated Mexico entity. The internal 2026 portfolio records 57 roles hired through the engagement.

The Metrics:   The Q2 engagement developed from an initial Mexico expansion into a 57-person technology hub, with CodersLink supporting the team from launch through the transition toward Q2’s own entity.  

→ Metric #1 —  57-person Mexico tech hub 

• •  CodersLink’s 2026 case-study portfolio records 57 roles hired across engineering, product, business, QA, design, architecture, and implementation functions. 
    

→ Metric #2 —  24-month pilot-to-entity progression 

• •  The engagement followed a documented 24-month path from CodersLink-supported launch and operation to Q2’s own Mexico entity. 

→ Metric #3 —  45% cost saving 

• •  CodersLink’s current approved external case-study language records a 45% cost saving for the Q2 Mexico hub engagement. 

What this enabled

• Q2 began building its Mexico team before completing its own local entity

• The organization expanded across engineering, product, business, design, and implementation functions

• Recruiting and employment infrastructure were handled during the build phase

• The existing team could transition toward Q2 ownership rather than being rebuilt after entity formation

• Q2 established a long-term technology operation in Monterrey from a functioning team rather than starting the entity from zero
