Product, brand and UX designers who ship polished, thoughtful work — sourced, assessed on portfolios and live briefs, and managed by Nearwork.
Nearwork is a managed remote-staffing partner. We help US and Canadian companies hire English-fluent talent from Colombia without the cost, risk or overhead of doing it alone.
A US hire is expensive and takes months. Going remote on your own means sifting résumés, chasing contractors, running payroll across borders and hoping the person actually works out.
We source and rigorously assess Design talent in Colombia, then employ, payroll and manage them for you. You get a proven designer on your team in about two weeks, at roughly half the US cost — fully managed.
We source, screen and score candidates — you hire them directly onto your payroll.
EOR & PayrollWe become the legal employer — contracts, payroll, benefits and compliance, no local entity.
Managed TeamA dedicated team with a Nearwork lead running quality, coaching and day-to-day delivery.
Partner ProgramWhite-label recruiting and staffing for agencies and firms that place talent for clients.
A vibrant regional design community produces product and brand designers who work daily with US startups and design systems.
Every designer is scored on the skills that matter for the role — so you hire on evidence, not a résumé.
