Which one should you pick?

Choose Somewhere if…

Scale and a 6-month guarantee, both well ahead of ours.
If cost is the dominant criterion, Philippines and South Africa sourcing goes lower than LATAM can — their 'up to 80%' reflects regions we do not cover.
Multi-region flexibility if time zone is negotiable.

Choose Nexus if…

US working-hours overlap is a hard requirement — LATAM-only makes that structural rather than a filter.
You want cultural and time zone proximity over the lowest possible rate.
You want published rates rather than a deposit-first process.

If you want the lowest rate and are flexible on time zone, Somewhere's multi-region reach beats us and their guarantee is longer. If real-time overlap with a US team is the point of hiring nearshore, LATAM-only is the more honest fit.

Questions people ask

Why not just hire from the Philippines and save more?

You often can, and Somewhere will help you do it. The trade-off is overlap: a Manila-based hire has little intersection with US business hours. Nearshore costs more than offshore precisely because the hours line up. If your role does not need real-time collaboration, offshore is a reasonable call.
