Why Latin America for executive assistants.

An assistant twelve hours away can prepare your day, but cannot manage it. An assistant in Mexico City or Bogotá is awake for your whole day, can take the 9 AM scheduling emergency and the 4 PM one, and can call a US vendor when the vendor is open.

MexicoUTC−6

Mexico City and Guadalajara

Central time and a large bilingual professional pool.

Hire in Mexico ColombiaUTC−5

Bogotá and Medellín

The time zone is the whole argument. A Bogotá employee works the complete Eastern and Central business day and six to seven hours of the Pacific day, with no daylight-saving shuffle because Colombia never changes its clocks.

Hire in Colombia Costa RicaUTC−6

San José and Heredia

Strong English and experience with US executives.

Hire in Costa Rica ArgentinaUTC−3

Buenos Aires and Córdoba

English. Argentina has ranked first in Latin America on the EF English Proficiency Index for most of the last decade. In creative and knowledge roles, that shows.

When it fits, and when it doesn't.

A good fit when

Not the right tool when

  • You need someone physically present for events or errands.

Questions about nearshore executive assistants.

All questions

Related roles

Operations & project managersCustomer successRecruiters
01Is a nearshore EA full time and dedicated?

Yes. One assistant, employed full time, working only for you. This is not a shared virtual-assistant pool.

02How do you handle confidentiality?

A signed NDA and confidentiality terms in the employment contract, a background check before the start date, and equipment we provide and control. You set the access to your accounts.

03What hours will the assistant work?

Your hours. Mexico City and Bogotá cover the full Eastern and Central day and most of the Pacific day. If you are on Pacific time, we shortlist from countries whose day starts later.

04Can I hire a nearshore executive assistant through staffing or recruitment?

Either. With nearshore staffing, nearshore.now employs the executive assistant in their country and you pay a flat monthly fee. With nearshore recruitment, we run the same search and vetting, and you hire the executive assistant directly for a one-time fee.
