New to Nearwork?

Vetted operations & administration 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 Colombia without the cost, risk or overhead of doing it alone.

The problem

Hiring a great coordinator 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 Operations & Administration talent in Colombia, then employ, payroll and manage them for you. You get a proven coordinator on your team in about two weeks, at roughly half the US cost — fully managed.

Talent, ready now

  • Executive assistants, ops coordinators and ops leads
