    How we source this data

    Numbers come from two overlapping sources: HiresLink's placement network of 90,000+ pre-vetted LATAM candidates (live offer & accepted-rate data) and a cross-check against public market benchmarks. We publish P25–P75 rather than a single point so you can see the range instead of an artificially precise median.

    All figures are base monthly USD paid gross to the contractor. They exclude HiresLink's transparent management fee, EOR fees (if you want employee status), equipment and one-off bonuses. Last updated: June 2026.
