A decade in Sales- at LATAM staffing firms across the US.  Closed deals at the good ones, walked away from the bad ones, and learned exactly what separated them. Started Hire South to be the first kind of agency, every time.

“I’ve sold staffing at the good firms and the bad ones long enough to know the difference within minutes.”

What LATAM-Native Means in Practice

To retain the top 1% of LATAM professionals, we pay above local market averages. You still secure significant cost reductions compared to US domestic salaries, while benefiting from 100% real-time overlap (EST/CST). We don't do cheap arbitrage; we build lasting partnerships.

Common Questions About Staffing LATAM Talent With Hire South

How was Hire South founded?

Hire South was officially established in 2022 by Jared Andreasson (from the US) and Sol Dieguez (from Argentina). The business was created to help North American firms and Latin American talent identify shared opportunities for accelerated growth. Thanks to this unique, international combination of first-hand local market knowledge and deep US B2B experience, Hire South is able to secure long-term, cost-efficient talent placements in as little as 15 days.

 Why did we start a staffing agency?

Put it shortly: we want to help great companies and great candidates find each other. We didn't start Hire South in 2022 because we saw a market trend on a spreadsheet. We founded it because the LATAM staffing industry had untapped potential for incredible talent/client partnerships, and we had the insider experience to make it a reality.

How is Hire South different from the other 50 vendors doing this?

Most vendors you can hire LATAM talent with were founded by outsiders who saw nearshoring as a convenient market trend and decided to jump in late in the game. Because of this, a lot of them are missing out on the region’s true potential. Hire South has the exact opposite origin story.

Sol was born, raised, and is still located in Argentina, where she spent years navigating the remote job market as a candidate. Having sat on the other side of the interview table, we know exactly where other agencies fail: they misrepresent candidates’ skills, leave retention on the back burner, and treat talent as a commodity… resulting in high churn, frustration, and broken workflows for clients. The top 1% of LATAM talent prefer working with an agency that genuinely understands their career trajectory and treats them as a nearshore partner rather than a freelancer.

On the other hand, Jared’s from the US and has long worked with overseas contractors; getting a firsthand understanding of the potential challenges clients might face with different outsourcing models. Because we know this market from the inside out, we built a talent ecosystem built on mutual respect, technical rigor, and long-term retention. We proudly bridge the gap between US corporate culture and LATAM talent capabilities natively, not blindly. 

As a staffing agency… What does Hire South actually do?

At Hire South, we connect companies looking to hire LATAM talent with the exact people who can hit the ground running. Instead of making you sift through hundreds of unqualified resumes and worry about foreign candidate pools, we act as a specialized filter. We find, interview, and vet top-tier professionals - often people who aren't even actively looking for a job - and hand-deliver the top candidates directly to your hiring managers. Ultimately, we buy you back your time and eliminate the risk of an expensive hiring mistake.
