10 days to a human-curated shortlist. 3 weeks to a signed hire. Not a platform. Not a marketplace. A boutique operation with 10 years of placements and a named methodology.

Depends on what you're buying. HireTalent.lat publishes a $88/month platform tier and $999 deposit for done-for-you, plus a 20% placement fee. NearTalent is sales-led per-hire. For a single senior placement, per-hire pricing is often more predictable; for many junior placements a platform can be cheaper on paper — before considering the cost of your own screening time.
No. NearTalent is a boutique operation — every shortlist is human-curated by our team. If you want to browse and filter candidates yourself, HireTalent.lat's platform tier is a better fit. If you want a partner to send you 3–5 finalists in 10 business days, that's what we do.
NearTalent uses the STAR interview framework plus a competency-based evaluation for every finalist, followed by reference validation. HireTalent.lat does not publicly name a specific screening framework on their site — their platform lets you filter and evaluate candidates directly.
Both providers offer a 90-day guarantee. Ours replaces the hire at no additional cost if the placement does not work out within the first 90 days. Verify HireTalent.lat's specific terms directly with them before signing.
Neither exclusively. Some clients use a platform for volume roles and a boutique like NearTalent for critical hires where curation matters most. There is no conflict in using both.
Tell us the role. We come back with 3–5 curated finalists, each screened with STAR + competency framework, in 10 business days. No upfront fees.
