Nearshore staffing and recruitment for US companies
Hire world-class talent in your time zone. Now.
nearshore.now finds and vets professionals in Latin America for US companies, then gives you two ways to hire them. Staffing: we employ them and handle contracts, payroll and compliance. Recruitment: you hire them directly. Either way they work your hours, cost 40–60% less than a US hire, and your first candidates arrive within a week.

- 1 invoiceWe employ. You manage.
Staffing or recruitment. Same shortlist.
The search is identical: Torre.ai matching, live interviews, a role exercise, an English test, references. What changes is who employs the hire, and you choose per role.
- 01 · Staffing
We employ. You manage.
We hire the professional under local labor law in their country and run payroll, benefits, taxes, equipment and compliance. You direct the work and pay one monthly invoice in US dollars. Replacement guarantee included.
Best when you have no entity in Latin America and want none.
- 02 · Recruitment
We find. You hire.
Same search, same vetting, same shortlist. You make the offer and employ the person directly: through your own entity, your employer of record or a contractor agreement. You pay us once, for the search.
Best when you already employ people in the region, or want the hire on your payroll from day one.
Every seat that doesn't need to be in the room.
From your first nearshore hire to a full team. Each role has its own page: what they do, how we vet them, and which countries have the deepest bench.

Frequently asked questions.
01What is nearshore staffing?
Nearshore staffing means hiring professionals in countries close to the US, mainly in Latin America, whose working hours overlap with yours. Unlike offshore staffing in Asia or Eastern Europe, your nearshore team works the same day you do.
02What is the difference between nearshore staffing and nearshore recruitment?
Who employs the hire. With staffing, nearshore.now employs the professional in their country and you pay a flat monthly fee. With recruitment, we run the same search and vetting and you hire the person directly, through your own entity, employer of record or contractor agreement, for a one-time fee. We do both, and you pick per role.
03How fast can I hire?
Most clients meet their first shortlist within a week of the intro call and make an offer within two to three weeks.
04Who employs the professional?
With staffing, nearshore.now does, through its local entities and partners, and handles payroll, benefits, taxes and compliance while you direct the day-to-day work. With recruitment, you do, and the professional joins your payroll or your own contractor setup.
05How much does it cost?
Staffing is a flat monthly fee per hire that covers salary, employer costs and our service, typically 40–60% below the fully loaded cost of an equivalent US hire. Recruitment is a one-time fee per hire, and you pay the salary directly. Both depend on the role and seniority; we quote them on the call.
06What if it doesn’t work out?
Every staffing placement includes a replacement guarantee. If a hire isn’t the right fit in the first months, we find a replacement at no additional fee. For recruitment, the guarantee terms are in the search agreement and we go through them on the call.
Your next hire could start next month.
