In Chile we have an expression that reminds me why I love my home dialect so much: "Vender humo" (to sell smoke) - not quite the same as smoke and mirrors, it conveys that someone, in a spectacular way, manages to sell something that vanishes upon reaching the hands of the buyer, like smoke.

Maybe you’re joking with the “home dialect” reference but that’s a common expression that appears in Spanish dictionaries.

I expect that OP just meant "native language"
it's high talent acquisition, the service is just a byproduct. this reads like an acquihire.
