Agustín on LinkedInPost-pandemic remote adoption made US companies structurally comfortable hiring across borders. What used to be "we tried a remote hire once" became the default operating model for Series A-C engineering, marketing and product teams.
US compensation compression hit at the exact same time. Senior engineer bands stopped growing in the US, while total employer cost kept climbing on benefits and payroll tax. The math changed. A senior engineer for $70K-90K USD in LatAm now delivers work indistinguishable from a $180K USD equivalent in San Francisco or New York.
LatAm talent maturity reached the point where the top decile of engineers, marketers, designers and data professionals speak fluent English, have shipped for US customers, and want dollar-denominated compensation more than they want a green card. The supply is real, senior and reachable.
Regulatory clarity caught up: W-8BEN, 1099-NEC, PIPEDA, CASL and the LFPDPPP now cover the full contractor and EOR playbook. Cross-border hiring is no longer legal grey area — it is a solved problem with named frameworks. What is missing is the operator who assembles all four into a repeatable service. That is NearTalent.
