FAQ
Staff augmentation in LATAM means extending your in-house US team with vetted Latin American professionals who work as dedicated, full-time contractors under your direction. Unlike project outsourcing, augmented staff embed in your tools, processes, and culture.
LATAM is true nearshore for US companies. Time zone overlap is 0 to 3 hours from Eastern, English proficiency is at native business level, and cultural alignment is closer to the US than offshore Asia. Offshore Asia offers lower headline rates but creates async drag and slower iteration.
Most US companies save 40 to 70% per role vs hiring locally, depending on seniority. A LATAM mid-level operator typically costs $1,200 to $2,500 per month, compared to $70,000 to $110,000 fully loaded for a US equivalent.
Admin and ops, sales development and customer success, marketing operations and content, finance and bookkeeping, design and creative, and AI and tech support roles all perform well. Placibly places across all six categories.
