How to choose a partner to hire an Office Manager in Latin America
Whoever you work with, check four things before you sign:
- How candidates are tested for this role. Ask for the actual steps. Ours are Admin Skills Assessment, English Proficiency, Cultural Fit and Reference Checks, completed before you meet anyone.
- Time-zone overlap. LATAM talent works 0-3 hours from US Eastern, so your Office Manager is online during your working day, not overnight.
- Who handles payroll and compliance. With a placement you employ the contractor directly; with staffing, the partner runs contracts, payroll and compliance for you.
- What happens if a hire doesn't work out. We replace any placement within 90 days, and there is no fee if we don't find a match.
Moving work from a vendor in India or the Philippines? The lowest-risk path is to run your new LATAM Office Manager alongside the current vendor for a few weeks and hand over one area at a time. We match candidates to the tools you already use, so the stack stays the same; what changes is that the work happens during your hours.

Hiring more than one?
Teams rarely need a single seat. If this role is part of a squad — a couple of engineers plus the DevOps or QA support around them — the engineering team page prices four common compositions seat by seat, and sets out the four-week ramp from scoping call to first sprint.
