    Frequently Asked Questions

    Nearshore software development is outsourcing engineering work to a nearby region rather than a distant one. For US companies that means Latin America: engineers in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay who work within a few hours of US business hours, travel easily to headquarters and cost 50-60% less than a US hire.

    Nearshore developers from LATAM typically run $25-50/hr depending on seniority and stack — roughly $3,500-7,000/month full-time. Backend and full-stack engineers start around $20-30/hr, AI/ML and staff-level engineers reach $45-55/hr. US equivalents cost $80-150/hr.

    Offshore can be marginally cheaper per hour, but nearshore wins on delivery speed because of timezone overlap. LATAM engineers attend your standups live, unblock the same day and pair with your team, which usually matters more than a few dollars of hourly difference.

    Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, Peru and Costa Rica — 8 LATAM countries in total, all within UTC-3 to UTC-6.

    You receive a qualified shortlist 48 hours after the role brief. Interviews typically take 3-5 days and onboarding 2-3 days, so most teams have an engineer working within 1-2 weeks.

    No. HiresLink contracts and pays the engineer locally, so you avoid incorporation, local payroll registration and permanent establishment risk while directing the work day to day.

    Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, .NET and PHP on the backend; React, Next.js, Vue and Angular on the frontend; React Native, Swift and Kotlin on mobile; AWS, GCP, Kubernetes and Terraform on DevOps; plus AI/ML, LLM and data engineering.

    Active staffing clients get unlimited free replacements, with an average replacement turnaround under 21 days. You are never locked into a bad match.
