Hire South

Hire South is an American nearshore recruiting and staffing agency founded in 2022, positioning itself as "the original Hire South - a true nearshore staffing Partner." The firm helps US companies find and hire remote talent in Latin America — specifically across South and Central America — to scale teams faster while reducing overhead. Its core pitch is that every remote professional it places is vetted, bilingual, and working in the client's time zone, at a fraction of the cost of domestic hiring. The company operates as a boutique, founder-led firm. Its two co-founders, Jared (based in Miami, FL) and Sol (based in Buenos Aires, Argentina), personally lead engagements from the initial brief through the hire's first reviews and the months that follow. Hire South emphasizes a "LATAM-native mindset," arguing that its deep regional roots let it connect US enterprises with the top 1% of synchronous, bilingual professionals rather than simply matching resumes. Hire South offers two primary hiring models, both with disclosed fees. Under staff augmentation, clients pay a flat margin on the bill rate, agreed at signing, with no secret fees; the company pays the placed professional directly and discloses both what the talent earns and what Hire South makes. Under direct hire, clients pay a 20% placement fee based on estimated first-year salary and hire and pay the professional directly, with no retainers or replacement fees. The company advertises cost savings of roughly 31% to 40% versus typical agencies or domestic full-time hires. Beyond individual placements, Hire South supports building entire nearshore teams across functions including sales, marketing, IT, customer support, project management, data analysis, and finance. It stresses long-term placements and permanent team integrations rather than transactional freelancer gigs, pays above local market averages to retain top LATAM talent, and states that it relies on human vetting rather than AI bots. The firm reports having placed 200+ hires, with a typical 10-day timeline to a first hire.

Hire South was founded in 2022 with what it describes as a "LATAM-native mindset," built to level up the nearshore staffing model. The company was established by two co-founders, Jared and Sol, who brought complementary experience from opposite sides of the Americas. Jared, based in Miami, Florida, spent a decade in sales at LATAM staffing firms across the United States. According to the company's own account, he closed deals at the good firms and walked away from the bad ones, learning what separated them — and started Hire South to be "the first kind of agency, every time." Sol, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, spent half a decade in marketing at staffing and IT firms across LATAM and the US, capturing leads and writing brand stories while observing the gap between marketing promises and reality. Sol built Hire South to close that gap, arguing that "Latin America's talent is chronically underrated" with immense untapped potential. From its founding, Hire South positioned itself as a boutique alternative to large staffing agencies and transactional freelancer marketplaces. It emphasizes founder-led engagements — every engagement runs from the client's brief to the hire's first reviews and the months after — and transparent, contract-disclosed fees. The firm reports having placed 200+ hires, with a typical timeline of 10 days until a client's first hire, and advertises cost savings of up to 40% versus domestic hiring. The company operates across South and Central America, sourcing bilingual professionals in the client's time zone (EST/CST) and paying above local market averages to retain top talent. It focuses on long-term placements and permanent team integrations rather than gig work, and states that it relies on human vetting rather than AI bots. Its service lines span staff augmentation, direct hire, and full nearshore team building across functions such as sales, marketing, IT, customer support, project management, data analysis, and finance.
