Hiring in Latin America: Common Questions
How much does it cost to hire ecommerce talent from Latin America?
Hiring in Latin America can be 60 to 70% cheaper or less than in Canada or the US for the same level of experience. There are no recruitment fees or payroll setup on your side: one monthly rate covers sourcing, vetting, contracts, payroll, and compliance. Book a call for current rates by role and seniority.
How do I pay remote employees in Latin America?
There are several options: international bank wires, platforms like Wise, Payoneer, or Deel, or local payroll providers. Each has limitations. Some platforms are restricted or unreliable in certain countries, currency controls can complicate transfers in others, and wire fees and exchange rates add up. Meraki Solutions already has payment channels set up across Latin America, so through our outsourcing model you pay one invoice and we make sure your team member gets paid correctly in their country.
Do I need a legal entity to hire in Latin America?
No. Most agencies hire LATAM talent under a contractor model, which requires no local entity. And if you prefer not to manage any of it, our outsourcing model means Meraki handles the engagement entirely, so you have no entity, contract, or payroll to set up.
What kind of contract do I use when hiring someone abroad?
The standard approach is a contractor agreement, similar to hiring a freelancer or contractor in your own country. If you hire through our recruitment service, we can guide you on the contract. Through our outsourcing model, Meraki takes care of the contract entirely and your team member works with you day to day.
Who handles taxes and compliance for international hires?
Under a contractor model, the contractor is responsible for their own local taxes. Rules vary by country, which is where agencies often get stuck. Through our outsourcing model, Meraki manages compliance on our side, so you do not have to navigate local regulations.
Do we need to provide computers or equipment?
No. Our team members use their own computers. You only pay for any specific tools, programs, or licenses you need them to use.
Will my team member be changed or swapped out after a few months?
No. Our goal is for your team member to stay with you as long as you need them. Some of our people have been with the same company for over three years. Long-term fit is the whole point of our vetting.
What happens if a team member underperforms?
We step in and help with a plan to get them back on track. If it still is not working, you have the option of changing to another team member better suited to your company. We understand that sometimes things are not how they seemed in the interview, or your needs turn out to be different.
What if our needs change and the role is no longer needed, or the role changes?
That happens, and it is fine. We can swap that person for someone better suited to the new role, or scale the engagement down. You are not locked into a role that no longer fits your business.
