New to Nearwork?

Vetted leadership talent — sourced, employed and managed for you.

Nearwork is a managed remote-staffing partner. We help US and Canadian companies hire English-fluent talent from Latin America without the cost, risk or overhead of doing it alone.

The problem

Hiring a great operator is slow, costly and risky.

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.

The solution

One partner that sources, vets and runs the role.

We source and rigorously assess Leadership talent in Colombia, then employ, payroll and manage them for you. You get a proven operator on your team in about two weeks, at roughly half the US cost — fully managed.

Talent, ready now

Deep Leadership talent, already here.

A mature regional business scene produced experienced managers and directors who lead distributed teams for US and Canadian companies.

  • Team leads, managers and fractional directors
  • Overlap with US leadership and planning cadences
  • Assessed on leadership, strategy and delivery scenarios
  • Proven at building and running distributed remote teams

FAQ

Hiring Leadership talent, answered.

Full-time or fractional?

Both. We can place a full-time leader to run a function, or a fractional director a few days a week to level up an existing team.

What functions can they lead?

Engineering, support, operations, marketing and more — matched to a leader with real experience running that function for US and Canadian companies.

Do I need a legal entity in Colombia?

No. Nearwork acts as the Employer of Record and handles local contracts, payroll, benefits and compliance. Your hire works for you day to day; we're their legal employer.

How fast can I hire?

Most searches produce a scored shortlist in about 14 days. You interview the finalists you like and pick — no résumé piles.

What if a hire isn't the right fit?

You're covered by a 6-month replacement guarantee. If it isn't working out, we re-source at no extra cost.
