Remote Hiring in LATAM and the PhilippinesThe Walter Process
Remote Hiring in Latin America and the Philippines
Is nearshore/offshore recruitment right for my business?
Nearshore recruitment connects you with talent in neighboring regions (like LATAM for North American companies), offering similar time zones and cultural alignment.
Offshore recruitment typically involves hiring talent from farther regions, such as the Philippines, where cost savings and specialized skill sets make it a popular choice.
Businesses often turn to nearshore or offshore hiring for two key reasons:
1. Cost Savings. Local hires can be expensive, especially in industries with high demand for specialized skills. Hiring remote talent from LATAM or the Philippines can reduce labor costs by up to 80% without compromising quality.
2. Access To Skills. If your local talent pool lacks the expertise you need, nearshore and offshore recruitment opens the door to highly skilled professionals in tech, customer support, and other fields.
Whether you value time zone overlap or cost-effectiveness, Walter helps you determine the best fit for your business needs and goals.
Why should I hire remote talent in Latin America and the Philippines?
LATAM and the Philippines are go-to regions for remote hiring because they strike the perfect balance of quality, affordability, accessibility, and cultural alignment.
Hiring remote talent in the Philippines and LATAM lets your team access in-demand skill sets for up to 80% less than North American or European salaries.
Remote workers in LATAM and the Philippines also boast strong English skills, high connectivity and reliability, and strategic time zone advantages.
Will cultural differences impact my remote team’s performance?
Cultural differences aren’t a hurdle — they’re an asset! Both LATAM and the Philippines share a strong cultural affinity for Western markets, making it easy to align on values, work styles, and communication.
Bonus: The unique perspectives and experiences these professionals bring can enrich your company culture, spark fresh ideas, and strengthen your diversity and inclusion efforts.
By investing in proper onboarding and maintaining clear communication, you can turn cultural differences into opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and innovation that set your team apart.
How does time zone alignment work with LATAM and the Philippines?
LATAM offers multiple time zones that align closely with North American and European organizations. Time-zone-aligned remote teams in LATAM make real-time collaboration a breeze.
Example: Your design team needs to update your website. Instead of waiting 12 hours, LATAM teams allow for rapid communication and decision-making, speeding up progress without delay.
The opportunity for 24/7 operations is a major benefit of hiring remote workers from the Philippines. This time difference is ideal for around-the-clock customer support or project continuity.
Example: Your local team works on coding during their workday, and by the time they clock out, your Philippines-based team is already debugging it. When your local team clocks in the next day, the updated code is ready to go live, keeping your development process running smoothly without any downtime.
