Not automatically. Lathire lists 800,000+ talents versus our 25,000+ pre-screened. Pool size and pre-screening depth are different metrics — a smaller, deeply-vetted pool often reduces your shortlist review time and improves finalist quality. It depends on what you're optimizing for.
Lathire publicly advertises up to 80% cost savings. Our documented range is 40–60% based on placement data. Advertised ceilings and typical outcomes are different numbers — verify the specific savings for your role and seniority level with each provider before deciding.
We focus on Technology, Marketing, Creative & Ads, Data & AI, and Digital Operations because those are the cross-functional pillars US scale-ups typically staff together. Lathire covers 8 verticals including some we don't. If your role is outside our five, they may be a better fit.
NearTalent's site and hreflang cover English (US & Canada) and Spanish, with a Portuguese roadmap for Brazil. Lathire's site is English-only. If your team operates in Canada, Mexico or Spain, multilingual coverage is a real operational advantage.
Lathire publishes named case studies (Dr Squatch, Basis Theory, Dribbble). Ours are anonymized under NDA — we can share client-verified case-study PDFs on request. It's a difference in what we publish, not in what we've done.
Tell us the role. We come back with 3–5 curated finalists in 10 business days. No searching, no filtering, no interviews you didn't want.
