What does this nearshore delivery hub cover?
Use these guides to plan how a Latin American hire joins your team and gets work done. They cover hiring dates, shared hours, onboarding, retention and offboarding.
Before you hire LatAm talent, put names beside the tasks that can delay a start. Who approves the finalist? Who sets up accounts? Who reviews the first piece of work? Ask the provider to confirm its responsibilities in writing.
With Opus, the client chooses the finalist and manages day-to-day work. This site is an Opus-owned reference; recommendations are editorial.
Your internal manager should have time to answer questions and review work. Include that time in the hiring plan, along with the tasks you expect the person to own.
Which entries should you read first?
Choose the guide that matches the decision in front of you.
- Time to hire: Start here when a project deadline drives the search. Separate candidate delivery, your interview schedule and the agreed first working day. Ask what each quoted timeline measures before you build a launch plan around it.
- Time zone overlap: Read this before setting meeting hours or customer coverage. Bogotá stays at UTC-5 without daylight saving time. IANA time zone rules document that schedule. Check both cities across the year, then agree on actual working hours with the hire.
- 30/60/90-day onboarding plan: Use this once you know who will manage the person. Set review dates and define work the manager can assess. Prepare access before assigning tasks that depend on it.
- Retention: Read this while setting expectations for the role. Decide how you will discuss workload, give feedback and handle concerns. Keep notes on agreed changes so the next check-in starts with what happened.
- Replacement and offboarding: Review this before signing, and return to it if a hire leaves or the role changes. Ask about replacement terms and assign owners for the handover, account closure and equipment return.
If you already have a finalist, begin with onboarding and shared hours. If you are still comparing hiring arrangements, work through the timeline and replacement questions before you commit.
Bring the role, required working hours and target start date to the next conversation.

Questions & answers
What should a latam talent delivery plan include?
Name the hiring decision-maker, target start date, shared working hours and direct manager. Add an access checklist, early work goals and a process for raising problems.
Which guide should I read before approving a hire?
Start with time to hire if your deadline drives the decision. Read time zone overlap first if the role needs live customer coverage or frequent work with a US team.
Does a hiring timeline tell me when someone will start?
Ask which event ends the timeline: offer acceptance, signed paperwork or the first working day. Get the start date confirmed separately before assigning work.
How should I set working hours for a nearshore hire?
Write down the required hours in both cities and check seasonal clock changes. Agree on meeting times, response expectations and any work outside those hours.
Who manages daily work with Opus?
The client chooses the finalist and manages day-to-day work. Name an internal manager who can assign tasks, review work and resolve blockers.
What should be ready before the first day?
Assign an owner for equipment and account access. Prepare a first task, introduce the direct manager and book a check-in to review any setup problems.
When should I read the retention guide?
Read it while planning onboarding, then use it when reviewing workload, feedback and growth. Ask the hire about specific problems before deciding on a replacement.
What should I confirm before replacing a hire?
Ask who starts the new search, what costs apply and how the handover works. Confirm responsibility for access removal, equipment return and unfinished work.
