THE PRACTICAL MIDDLE GROUND
Keep the workday local. Expand the talent pool
Nearshore hiring is not asking your team to work around a handoff window. Latin America runs on Eastern to Pacific hours, so a senior teammate can join standups, answer live calls and work the same day your customers do.

ABOUT NEARSHORE HOURS
Questions about working the same day
Which hours does Latin American talent work?
Latin America runs on Eastern to Pacific hours, the same broad schedule used by US teams. The exact hours are set around your operating day.
How is this different from offshore staffing?
Classic offshore models often work while your business sleeps and rely on handoffs. Nearshore talent is present for live business-day work.
Will the person be a contractor?
Opus places dedicated, full-time teammates. Contracts, payroll and compliance run through Opus while you manage the person and the work.
How long before the hire starts?
The average is fourteen days from the brief to onboarding, with a shortlist generally ready in three to five days.
