Nearshore staffing for Quebec companies

Nearshore staffing in Quebec

We work with companies in Montreal and Quebec City, all on Eastern Time. A 9 to 5 day there shares 6 to 8 working hours with Latin America's main talent hubs, most of all with Bogotá.

Hiring across Quebec

  • Montreal, QC

    Time zone: Eastern Time

    Montreal has a mix few cities can match: aerospace and transportation manufacturing, video game studios, a strong AI and software research community, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, and a busy port. Those employers all compete for developers, engineers, analysts and coordinators, and finding the right person can take longer than a growing team can wait.

    A nearshore hire adds capacity without adding to that scramble. Your new teammate works only for you, follows your Eastern Time day and is screened before you ever meet them.

    A word on language

    We screen every candidate for English. If the role needs French, for example with Quebec customers or internal communication, tell us on the call and we'll be upfront about whether we can find French-speaking candidates for it.

    How the clocks line up

    • Colombia, Peru and Ecuador are on Montreal's clock in winter and one hour behind in summer.
    • Central Mexico is one hour behind in winter and two in summer.
    • The Dominican Republic is an hour ahead in winter and level with Montreal in summer.

  • Quebec City, QC

    Time zone: Eastern Time

    Quebec City is the provincial capital, and alongside government it has a strong insurance and financial-services base, a lively video game and software scene, optics and photonics research, and a tourism trade that keeps the old town busy year-round. In a tight regional labour market, back-office, tech and support roles can be slow to fill.

    A nearshore hire adds a dedicated, vetted teammate who keeps your hours. It works best for roles where English is the working language, or where English and Spanish together open new doors.

    A word on language

    We screen every candidate for English. If the role calls for French, bring it up on your call and we'll be honest about whether French-speaking candidates are something we can deliver.

    How the clocks line up

    • Colombia, Peru and Ecuador share Quebec City's clock in winter and are one hour behind in summer.
    • Central Mexico is one hour behind in winter and two hours behind in summer.

Questions from Quebec companies

Can a Quebec company hire full-time remote staff in Latin America?

Many companies do. We recruit and screen candidates, and you interview the finalists and make the final call.

Can you find candidates who speak French?

Every candidate we present is screened for English. If you need French as well, raise it on your call and we'll tell you honestly what we can do for that role.

Will they work Montreal hours?

Yes. Candidates agree to your Eastern Time schedule before they're hired, and most of the region is within an hour or two of it.

Is there any obligation before we find someone?

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

Do you have an office in Montreal?

No. We're based in Houston and work with clients by video and phone.
