87% of IT organizations have considered nearshore outsourcing to cut costs.
Beyond cost savings, hiring vetted engineers and AI experts in Latin America (LATAM) unlocks real-time collaboration, faster delivery, and seamless integration, all while maintaining top-tier quality.
Work with developers aligned to your business hours for instant communication and problem-solving, avoiding the overnight delays of far-off offshore teams
Tap into vetted, highly educated engineers and AI specialists from LATAM’s growing tech talent pool – many with strong English skills and global experience
Aligned schedules enable continuous development and quick iterations, accelerating product delivery and time-to-market for new features
Nearshore teams share similar work culture and language proficiency, ensuring smooth communication, fewer misunderstandings, and cohesive teamwork
Access skilled talent at 30–70% lower costs than U.S. hiring, yielding significant savings without sacrificing quality
Quickly ramp teams up or down using deep LATAM talent pools, allowing you to meet shifting project demands faster than traditional onshore hiring
One of the biggest advantages of nearshore talent is the ability to collaborate in real time. Because Latin American engineers operate in or near U.S. time zones, they often share the same 9–5 work hours as your team, typically 85–100% of the workday overlaps for U.S.–LATAM teams. By contrast, offshore teams in Asia might overlap by an hour or less, leading to delayed communication. This alignment means your developers can hop on impromptu calls, attend daily stand-ups, and resolve issues immediately during the workday, rather than waiting 12+ hours for an offshore team’s next shift
Teams working in overlapping time zones resolve project blockers 30% faster than teams separated by six or more hours. Real-time communication vastly reduces downtime and miscommunication. Even a small time difference can erode productivity; research shows that every one-hour increase in time zone gap cuts synchronous communication by about 11%.
If an issue or critical bug emerges at 2 PM, your LATAM engineers can address it that afternoon, looping in your U.S. stakeholders immediately. Product managers can review progress in real time and provide feedback continuously, instead of losing momentum overnight. This instant feedback loop is especially valuable in fast-evolving projects like AI model development, where frequent tweaks and experiments are needed; a nearshore AI team can collaborate with your in-house experts in real time to fine-tune models without delay.
By working shoulder-to-shoulder across borders, nearshore talent makes your distributed team feel like one cohesive unit.
Let us help you define the nearshore roles you actually need, match them to U.S. time zones, and align on budget before you commit.
SCHEDULE A CALLWhen your team operates in sync across time zones, the result is a faster development cycle from start to finish. Nearshore engineers can participate in scrum meetings, sprint planning, and code reviews during normal U.S. hours, keeping projects moving forward at a steady clip. There’s no need to pause development to “wait until tomorrow” for answers: decisions and fixes happen on the fly. This dramatically shortens turnaround times for deliverables. In fact, 64% of companies outsource nearshore specifically to accelerate time-to-market for digital products.
By having designers, developers, and QA in constant contact throughout the day, features get built, tested, and refined more quickly than in an offshore model with asynchronous workflows.
Agile methodologies thrive with nearshore teams. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines benefit from having team members available concurrently to review code, address merge conflicts, and deploy updates. With nearshore partners, daily progress doesn’t stall due to time gaps; each workday is fully utilized by both onshore and nearshore members.
This can be a game-changer for startups and fast-paced product teams: new features and fixes roll out faster, giving your business a competitive edge. Moreover, real-time collaboration improves quality, as issues are caught and resolved immediately rather than piling up. The overall effect is a shorter development lifecycle, where projects that might take months with a far-flung team can be delivered in weeks. Nearshoring thus not only saves money, it buys you time, which is often even more valuable in today’s rapid innovation cycles.

Salaries for engineers in Latin America are often 30–50% lower than comparable U.S. roles.
No. The gap reflects market differences, not skill.
U.S. employers often carry 30–50% overhead on top of salary (benefits, taxes, office, etc.). LATAM employer costs are typically ~17–25% and are often handled by the local partner
Yes. Nearshore alignment cuts miscommunication, rework, and delays. Teams often see 18–25% lower total costs versus far‑off offshore models
In many cases, yes. The cost of a single U.S. senior engineer can cover a small, multi‑disciplinary nearshore team
Yes. There are 2M+ software developers in LATAM and 750,000+ tech graduates since 2023.
Many candidates hold STEM degrees, modern framework/cloud certifications, and global team experience
Regional providers pre‑screen for technical skill and communication. Some work only with the top 1% and ensure U.S. time‑zone and culture fit
Nearshore partners tap ready talent pools, often supplying candidates in weeks or days, versus months for onshore hiring.
Nearshore teams that onboard fast, collaborate deeply, and build better products.
