Nearshore staffing for District of Columbia companies

Nearshore staffing in District of Columbia

We help companies in Washington hire vetted, English-speaking professionals from Latin America. Washington runs on Eastern Time, so a 9 to 5 day there shares 6 to 8 working hours with the region's main talent hubs, most of all with Bogotá.

Hiring in Washington

  • Washington, DC

    Time zone: Eastern Time

    Greater Washington is shaped by the federal government, but most employers here aren't agencies. Trade associations and nonprofits, law and lobbying firms, consulting and IT services companies, universities, hospitals and the hotels and restaurants that serve a city full of visitors all need dependable people behind the scenes.

    Many of those organizations run lean and compete with deep-pocketed employers for the same administrative and technical talent. A nearshore professional can take on membership services, grants administration, bookkeeping, marketing or software work full time, at a cost that's easier to explain to a board.

    On timing: Bogotá, Lima, Quito and Panama City are on Eastern Standard Time all year, so they line up with D.C. through the winter and sit one hour behind in summer. Mexico City is one hour behind in winter and two in summer.

Questions from District of Columbia companies

Can our nonprofit or association hire a remote professional in Latin America?

Yes. Many mission-driven organizations use full-time remote professionals for membership, finance and communications work. We'll recruit and vet candidates, and walk you through the engagement options on a call.

How does the time difference work with Eastern Time?

It's small. Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Panama match D.C. in winter and are one hour behind in summer. Either way, the people we recruit commit to working your business hours.

Is there any obligation before we find someone?

No obligation until we match you with the perfect candidate and you hire them.

Which roles do D.C. organizations usually start with?

Common first hires are bookkeepers, executive and administrative assistants, membership and donor database support, and marketing coordinators. Tell us what's stretching your team and we'll suggest where to begin.
