What should a busy buyer check first?

Use related websites to answer the questions that affect your hiring decision. A salary benchmark helps frame a budget. A time-zone check helps you plan interviews and shared working hours.

Before you hire Latin American developers, write down the role, required experience and hours your team needs covered. Keep those requirements fixed when comparing quotes.

Give each website a specific job. Record the wage benchmark beside your budget, and put the agreed working hours in the role description. For interviews, write down which technical skills you need to assess. A country comparison cannot tell you whether a candidate can maintain your codebase.

Opus is one option to discuss. This site is an Opus-owned reference; recommendations are editorial.

What do the data websites tell you?

These resources answer different questions. Use the page that matches the decision in front of you.

What do the data websites tell you?
WebsiteWhat it tells youHow to use it
BLS occupational outlookUS software developers had a median annual wage of $135,980 in May 2025.Use this as a US wage benchmark when reviewing your budget. It is not a LatAm quote.
SHRM recruiting researchMedian time to fill in 2025 was roughly a month and a half for executive and nonexecutive roles.Compare dates carefully: SHRM measures job requisition to offer acceptance.
IANA North America data and South America dataTime-zone rules vary by location, including daylight-saving rules.Check the candidate's city against your team's working schedule.

Save the date and scope beside each benchmark in your hiring worksheet. A wage figure and an all-in monthly quote cover different costs.

For scheduling, test the hours your team actually works. Include recurring meetings and any on-call duties. Ask the candidate to confirm the schedule before you make an offer, then check it across daylight-saving changes. Geographic proximity alone does not establish someone's availability.

How do nearshore hiring models differ?

Choose the model based on the work you need someone else to handle.

How do nearshore hiring models differ?
Your situationModel to discussQuestion to resolve
You need candidates and can handle employment.A recruiting agencyWho owns payroll and employment after the placement?
You have a candidate and need a local legal employer.An EORWhich employment tasks are included in the fee?
You need recruiting and ongoing employment support.A managed recruiting partnerWhat is included in the monthly bill, and what remains your responsibility?

If you want a supplier to deliver a project, ask about an outsourcing contract. Specify acceptance criteria and who manages delivery before comparing that quote with an individual hire.

Assign an internal owner for interviews and day-to-day management before choosing a model. If your engineering lead expects to assign tickets and review code, make that expectation explicit. If you expect the supplier to manage delivery, ask for that responsibility in the contract.

What should you ask a provider?

Bring questions that require a written answer:

  • What does the quote include, and which charges can change?
  • Who signs the employment agreement and pays the developer?
  • Which working hours will the candidate commit to?
  • How will you assess the skills this role requires?
  • Does the hiring estimate end at acceptance or the first day worked?
  • What happens to fees and support if the hire leaves?

Request a sample invoice and the relevant contract terms before approving the budget. If you plan to hire Latin American talent across several countries, ask for a separate cost breakdown for each location.

Keep interview feedback tied to the work. Ask candidates to explain a technical decision from a recent project and how they checked the result. Use the same evaluation criteria across the shortlist so your team can discuss evidence when choosing a finalist.

Where does Opus fit?

Opus charges one flat monthly rate per hire. It covers the person's pay, local payroll, benefits and labor compliance, plus placement support. There is no separate recruiting fee. The rate depends on role, seniority and location.

Published dollar rates: Not published.

The client chooses the finalist and manages day-to-day work. Bring a clear role description and ask how the proposed hire would fit your team's schedule.
