New to Nearwork?

Vetted software development 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 engineer 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 Software Development talent in Colombia, then employ, payroll and manage them for you. You get a proven engineer on your team in about two weeks, at roughly half the US cost — fully managed.

Talent, ready now

Deep Software Development talent, already here.

Colombia graduates thousands of CS and software engineers every year, and a decade of nearshore product work built a deep bench of senior builders in US time zones.

  • Senior builders across frontend, backend, mobile and AI
  • Real overlap with US and Canadian standups and sprints
  • Tested on live coding and system-design problems, not trivia
  • Comfortable in modern stacks, CI/CD and code review culture

How we vet

We assess what makes software development talent actually good.

Every engineer is scored on the skills that matter for the role — so you hire on evidence, not a résumé.

Live problems in your stack — not algorithm trivia — scored by senior engineers.

System design

93 / 100

Designs services that scale, reason about trade-offs, and document decisions.

Code quality & review

94 / 100

Writes tested, readable code and gives sharp, kind reviews.

English & communication

95 / 100

C1 fluency that keeps standups, PRs and docs clear across time zones.

Product judgment

91 / 100

Pushes back on vague tickets and ships the thing that moves the metric.

Ramp speed

FAQ

Hiring Software Development talent, answered.

Can they work in our exact stack?

We match on stack and test candidates on problems close to your codebase. You see the assessment recordings and scores before you decide, so there are no surprises on day one.

Junior, senior or lead?

All three. Tell us the seniority and we scope the assessment accordingly — from strong mid-level builders to staff engineers who can own a system.

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.
