US companies looking to hire nearshore talent in Latin America have multiple options: EOR platforms, online marketplaces like Upwork, or large staffing firms. At RS Global Staffing, we’ve found that while each option has its uses, only a local, white-glove recruiting approach consistently delivers high-quality hires, engagement, and
long-term retention.
Online Marketplaces (Upwork)
Platforms like Upwork allow companies to browse profiles, message candidates, and negotiate directly. Flexible and fast, but talent often works multiple jobs, turnover is high, and vetting is minimal. This model is most effective for short-term, task-based work, not committed hires.
EOR Platforms
EOR platforms simplify payroll, benefits, and compliance—but they don’t recruit or vet candidates. Companies still handle sourcing, interviewing, and retention management. These platforms are best for pre-hired employees or short-term projects, but they aren’t designed for building long-term teams.
Large Staffing Firms
Large staffing agencies provide scale and access to many candidates but often lack local presence and personalized evaluation. Candidates can feel interchangeable, and retention can suffer. These firms are good for volume hiring, but less effective for engagement or cultural alignment.
