latam talent talent: talent and countries

What does this nearshore talent hub cover?

Use this collection to connect an open role with a country shortlist. The role guides help you define what to assess. The country guides help you check local working hours and the employment questions to raise before signing.

If you plan to hire LatAm talent, write down the work the person will own before choosing a location. Include the decisions they can make without approval and the hours they must share with your team. Give each candidate the same expectations.

Start with the closest role:

• Software developer: define the stack, code ownership, and review expectations.
• Customer success manager: set account responsibilities and customer coverage hours.
• Finance manager: define close responsibilities, reporting needs, and approval limits.
• Sales development representative: set the target market, outreach channels, and handoff rules.

For a role that crosses functions, use the hiring guide to clarify ownership before you request candidates. A title alone leaves too much room for different interpretations.

Which entries should you read first?

If working hours are your main constraint, start with the country entries below. These are city examples, so confirm the candidate's location and agreed schedule.

The city offsets and daylight-saving rules are recorded in IANA's North America and South America time zone data.

Check your shared work window across the year. US daylight-saving changes can shift the difference even when the hire's local clock stays fixed. Put the agreed hours in the offer and confirm who covers meetings outside them.

If you already have a country shortlist, move to English assessment and the interview loop. Use work from the actual job: a code review for an engineer or an account handoff for a customer success hire. Decide what a passing response looks like before interviews begin.

For budget approval, use the budget memo to compare quotes on the same basis. Ask who pays each employment cost and which charges can change. Confirm the billing currency and how exchange-rate changes affect your bill.

Before choosing a provider, review the contract checklist. Ask who employs the person, who handles payroll, and what happens if the hire leaves. Bring the role scope and required hours to that discussion.
