Nearshore tech teams from Colombia.

Medellin helped prove Colombia can be a technology hub. Colombian developers and technical professionals bring strong problem solving, US-time-zone overlap, and a practical appetite for learning.

Operating norms

This industry has rules. We recruit for them.

Nearwork does not only match resumes. We calibrate for the way the work is measured, supervised, and improved.

1

Code review and documentation

Good engineers leave context behind. We evaluate how candidates explain tradeoffs, document decisions, and collaborate asynchronously.

2

QA and release discipline

Technical teams need testing habits, bug triage, pull request hygiene, and comfort working in sprint systems.

3

Stack-specific evidence

A React role, backend role, QA role, and data role should not use the same screen. We match assessments to the actual stack.

Savings model

Tech hiring savings without losing operating rhythm.

Planning estimates include Scale placement pricing of $1,300 per hire where a team build makes sense. Final salaries vary by seniority, English level, tools, market availability, and service model.

Estimated annual impact$96k/ year

Estimated annual savings for one full-stack developer compared with a US loaded cost model.

Full-stack developer$96,000 saved / year

US loaded cost estimate: $165,000. Nearwork estimate: $69,000 including Scale placement fee.

5-person pod$480,000 saved / year

Savings compound quickly when you build a pod instead of one role at a time.

CollaborationSame-day work

Colombia supports daily standups, sprint planning, live debugging, and async follow-up.

Managed teamDelivery oversight

Nearwork can help manage team performance, reporting, and training loops.

These are directional planning numbers for sales conversations, not final compensation quotes.
