As you will soon discover, Latin Americans are very talented at what they do. They possess a huge range of skills in various fields and can do almost any job that can be successfully outsourced online.

A few examples of the kinds of professionals you’ll find on our site include:

• Virtual Assistants
• Graphic Designers
• Web Designers
• Web Developers
• Content Creators
• Social Media Managers
• Marketing Experts
• SEO Specialists

Find a complete list of professional categories here.

Our hiring process works in two ways:

1. You can browse remote worker profiles and contact the ones you feel are qualified for the position you’re looking to fill, then interview one by one like you would an in-office employee.
2. You can post a job and have qualified remote workers apply for the position. You’ll then be able to contact any and all workers that apply to verify their qualifications and ask any questions you have.

Once you find the right candidate for your job and business, we let you handle the rest on your terms as you see fit, including:

• Negotiating contract terms.
• Discussing requirements and expectations.
• Proposing a monthly salary.
• Deciding when and how to make payments.
• Training and Managing your new remote worker.

Basically, we’re here to help you find qualified full or part-time remote workers, as well as support you with helpful tips and advice on how to effectively find, train, and manage remote workers to establish a productive working relationship with them.

We let you handle the rest of the remote work process in the way the best fits you and your business!

On other freelancing websites, you’ll typically hire professionals on a short term or per-project basis.

Our site is different because we focus on connecting employers like you with remote workers you’ll hire on a full or part-time basis; instead of splitting their time and attention between you and a bunch of other clients, they work a set number of hours each day, exclusively for you.

We’re also different because we don’t require you to pay workers through us and we don’t charge any commissions or mark up worker salaries.

We leave it up to you and your remote workers to negotiate salaries and payment terms, including when payments are made and by which payment methods.

We simply act as a link connecting you with qualified remote workers, for which we charge a small subscription fee to access our network and contact jobseekers from Latin America looking for better employment opportunities.

All the remote workers you’ll find on our website live and work in Latin America.

Why?

For a number of reasons:

1. Because in Latin America you’ll find talented and skilled professionals that work at affordable salaries.
2. Most Latin Americans live and work during EST/CST time, which means they work during regular U.S. business hours and are that much more available to help when you need them.
3. Latin Americans live in a culture very similar to that of Europe and the U.S., and many of them are fluent in English, which makes them easier to train and communicate with compared to workers in other countries.

Though we can’t guarantee you’ll find the right candidate, we’re confident that you’ll likely find one from the thousands of workers on our site, talented in a huge range of skills, perfect for remote work.

We hand vet every worker account before it goes live and work to eliminate unprofessional profiles – so you can feel confident that the workers you contact are who they say they are.

Having that said, we do caution against setting unrealistic expectations for your new remote worker. Although we’re confident in the skill of workers on our site, you won’t find someone who can do anything and everything; if you come to our site looking for a remote worker that can do all your development, design, sales, marketing, SEO, and customer support, you’ll likely walk away disappointed.

Nope!

Every worker you find and hire on our site is an independent contractor.

They create an account with us then test their skills and apply to your jobs, just as you create an account, search for workers or post your job to have workers come to you.

Anything beyond that is between you and them – we simply connect you.

As with just about any non-English speaking country, you’ll encounter people from Latin America who speak English incredibly well and some that don’t.

But, a great thing is that Latin Americans learn English from a young age, and to help you find the best remote worker for you, we provide a few English tests for workers to take when they sign up so you can easily check their English proficiency.

These tests are designed to quickly and effectively measure English fluency from beginner to advanced levels, consist of 25-50 multiple choice questions, and to prevent cheating, if a worker fails a test they can’t retake for the next 30 days.

Another way to confirm English fluency is by having your remote worker take a quick 15-minute test from EF, an international education company that specializes in language training, academic degree programs, and cultural exchange.

https://www.efset.org/quick-check/

You can also use free tools such as https://www.videoask.com/ (by TypeForm) to ask workers to reply to you by sending a video message.

We also recommend you confirm workers’ English fluency as you begin to converse – how they write in emails and speak during Skype/Zoom interviews will give you the best understanding of how well they communicate in English.

If you’ve searched for worker reviews and haven’t found any, it’s because we don’t have them. Unlike other freelance sites, we don’t have a feedback system in place.

Why you ask?

Because we believe reviews encourage short-term work, and we want to help entrepreneurs and companies like you establish long-term relationships with remote workers through our platform.

We do have a skill rating system where workers can rate themselves with scores between one and five stars. Now, this isn’t a feedback system as workers self-rate each of their skills, but it does give you an idea of how experienced and confident a worker is in their abilities.

Ultimately, that’s between you and your remote workers to decide. You don’t pay your remote workers through our site. Instead, workers list their preferred payment method(s) on their profile for you to see how they would like to be paid.

PayPal, Neteller, Payoneer, Skrill, Wire Transfers, Zelle, are some common payment methods but some workers also prefer taking cryptocurrency payments using platforms like LocalBitcoins (we have written a couple of articles on how Latin America workers can benefit from using cryptocurrencies, read them here).

We have also partnered with companies like Deel and ShieldGeo that can help you with your remote workers payroll.

For any given worker, if you don’t see a preferred payment listed or you don’t want to use any of their preferred options, you can always ask if they are willing to accept other methods. Once you’ve decided on which payment method you’ll use, you’ll also want to discuss payment frequency.

We recommend starting by paying every week (splitting their monthly salary into 4 payments), which protects you from paying a lot upfront if a worker doesn’t meet your needs and protects workers from putting in time and effort without getting paid.

Once the two of you have established a mutual trust, feel free to discuss bi-weekly or monthly payments with your worker if that works better for you.

We have two types of paid account: Professional and Premium.

With a Professional account, you’ll be able to contact up to 100 workers per month (only counted when a worker responds to you, we call it a "connection") and post up to 4 jobs per month.

With a Premium account, you’ll be able to contact 250 workers and post up to 8 jobs per month.

Chile is the country with the highest minimum monthly wage in Latin America. According to the minimum salary established by law as of January 2021, workers in Chile earn a basic monthly wage of over 440 U.S. dollars (326,500 Chilean pesos). On the other side of the spectrum is Venezuela, where employees are only guaranteed by law a minimum salary of 1.2 million bolívares or less than one dollar per month, according to Venezuela's Central Bank exchange rate on January 14, 2021.

These minimum standards are often not enough to meet household needs. For instance, these salaries are not enough to attract quality workers to your job post and we recommend you don't refer to Latin American minimum wages as references when posting jobs on our platform.

Argentina

The Argentinian Labour Contract Law defines the minimum wage as “the lowest remuneration that a worker without dependants must receive to ensure adequate food, decent housing, education, clothing, healthcare, transportation and recreation, vacations and social security.”

The Committee for the Minimum Wage, composed of representatives from government, employers, and employees, sets the national minimum wage rate. Since 1 October 2019, it has been 16,875 Argentine pesos (US$243) per month and 84.37 pesos (US$1.15) per

hour.

Brazil

The minimum wage in Brazil depends on location and professional category. There is a federal minimum wage, which applies by default if there are no specific rules in the relevant collective bargaining agreement or in state laws. The federal minimum wage is adjusted

annually for inflation and is currently 1,045 reais (US$209) per month.

Chile

The minimum wage in Chile is 326,500 Chilean pesos (US$441) per month and applies to employees aged between 18 and 65 years. The minimum wage is set annually by law by the Chilean President. For employees under 18 and over 65 years, the minimum wage is currently 239,085 pesos (US$301) per month.

The basic wage paid to employees must not be lower than the monthly minimum wage. Other payments to the employee – such as transport and meal allowances, travel expenses, or bonuses – do not contribute to the minimum wage.

Colombia

In Colombia the minimum wage is agreed between the unions, employers’ organizations and the government once a year. If no agreement is reached, the government establishes the minimum wage by decree.

For 2021, the minimum ordinary monthly wage is 877,802 Colombian pesos (US$261) and is known as the salario mínimo legal mensual vigente or “SMLMV” in Spanish.

Mexico

Mexican employment law establishes a minimum wage, which is set each year by the National Minimum Wage Commission. The minimum wage must be sufficient to meet the normal basic material, social and cultural needs of a family, and provide for the compulsory educational needs of its children. The Commission’s annual decision is guided by research data, which may include inflation, exchange rates and the cost of living in different regions of the country.

Since 1 January 2021, the daily minimum wage is 123.22 Mexican pesos (US$5.62). This rate is applicable nationwide, except for cities located in the 25kilometre strip at the Mexico-US border where the daily minimum wage is set at 185.56 pesos (US$8.47). The wage applies to all employees, as there is no legal distinction between full and part-time employees in Mexico. 

Peru

Employers must pay workers a specified minimum wage, which is 930 Peruvian soles (US$257) per month if they work four or more hours a day. The minimum wage is adjusted periodically by decree. The minimum wage consists solely of the basic salary. Other payments are not included.

The minimum wage is also taken into consideration when the government calculates the Family Allowance (a mandatory labor benefit), which is equivalent to 10% of the minimum monthly wage (93 soles) and is given to employees who have one or more dependents

under 18 years old or has a dependent over 18 who is engaged in higher education or university studies.

Employers should keep in mind that the remuneration paid to employees will be used to calculate the social benefits employees receive – including compensation granted depending on length of service as well as annual bonuses and vacation time – and social contributions they make to the health and pension systems.

Venezuela

The minimum wage is set by presidential decree. The government has been consistently increasing the minimum wage over the past few years (five times throughout 2019 and 2020 alone). The minimum wage must be paid through basic salary; therefore, bonuses and other variable payments are not taken into account when determining the wage.

The government recently raised the minimum wage by 60%, effective from 1 May 2020, to a monthly salary of 400,000 bolívares soberanos (US$1.61). For young apprentices, the monthly minimum wage was set as 300,000 soberanos (US$1).

Hyperinflation has severely hampered the impact of the most recent wage increases, so the minimum wage is no longer a market reference for the minimum income required for a decent living in Venezuela.

Consequently, most employers pay salaries exceeding its value and tend to offer payments in foreign currency, often to “qualified” and “skilled” personnel. Wage payment in foreign currency plays an important role in retaining local workers at a time when Venezuela is losing high levels of specialized workforces who are migrating abroad.

NOTE: There is no feature to post a job for a specific country, the minimum wage must meet be the Chilean minimum wage which is $450/month (Full-Time jobs).

Job postings stay active and visible for 30 days. After 30 days the job will be archived and will not be active/visible on the site. 

Employers can decide to archive jobs before the expiration day.
