Nearshore staffing for Rhode Island companies

Nearshore staffing in Rhode Island

We help companies in Providence hire vetted, English-speaking professionals from Latin America. Providence 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 Providence

  • Providence, RI

    Time zone: Eastern Time

    Providence punches above its size. Hospitals and health systems, colleges and universities, insurers and financial firms, and a long line of manufacturers and marine and defense suppliers around Narragansett Bay all draw from the same fairly small labor market, and Boston is close enough to pull people away with bigger offers.

    That leaves a lot of Providence owners covering gaps themselves: the controller who also does payables, the office manager who also chases claims. Adding a remote professional from Latin America is a practical way to take that load off without a long local search.

    Working on your clock

    Colombia, Peru and Ecuador sit on the same clock as Providence through the winter and just one hour behind in summer. Your new hire joins the morning stand-up, answers emails the same afternoon and wraps up when you do.

Questions from Rhode Island companies

We're a small Rhode Island company. Is nearshore hiring only for big employers?

Not at all. Many of the businesses we help hire one or two people at a time. We handle the recruiting and screening, so you don't need an HR department to get started.

Will our new hire keep Eastern Time hours?

Yes. We recruit people who commit to your business hours. Talent in Colombia and Peru is on Providence time for part of the year and only an hour off the rest.

Is there any obligation before we find someone?

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

Can a remote hire handle work that touches patient or financial records?

Many of our candidates have done exactly that for U.S. companies.

How well do candidates speak English?

Every candidate we present has been interviewed in English and screened for the level of communication the job needs, whether that's writing client emails or speaking with patients on the phone.
