The operating record behind SILA

As a Gracemark company, SILA is backed by Gracemark's national and global workforce solutions experience.

What SILA is

One accountable partner for your LATAM workforce.

Most companies piece together recruiters, EOR platforms, payroll providers and equipment vendors country by country, then manage the gaps themselves. SILA brings the entire workforce operation together under one accountable relationship. We help you identify the right market and model, establish the true landed cost, recruit or onboard the talent, and manage employment, payroll, compliance, equipment and delivery under one agreement and one invoice. You get a plan finance can defend, a workforce built to perform and one partner accountable as your needs change.

One operating partner

One relationship from first hire to regional operation.

Most providers stop at recruiting, EOR or software. SILA connects market selection, recruiting, employment, payroll, equipment, managed delivery and market entry through one accountable operating relationship.

Why SILA

Four vendors own a step each. SILA owns the workforce outcome.

A recruiting agency finds people. An EOR platform employs them. A payroll provider pays them. A local firm covers one country. Each one owns a step, nobody owns the result, and the integration, the true cost and the risk stay with you.

  • Market selection

    The usual multi-vendor setupYou research countries yourself, or the provider only sells the one country it covers.

    With SILAYour preferred market is validated, or the best starting market is recommended, against talent depth, landed cost, language and employment conditions.

  • Workforce model

    The usual multi-vendor setupThe model is whatever that vendor sells: a recruiting fee, an EOR seat or a software license.

    With SILARecruiting, staffing, EOR, AOR, contractor engagement, managed delivery or your own entity, selected for the outcome and reshaped with you as your operation evolves.

  • The number

    The usual multi-vendor setupA rate or a fee, with employer burden, benefits and fees discovered later.

    With SILAOne landed cost per seat with salary, statutory employer burden and the SILA fee inside it, published against the US equivalent.

  • Compliance

    The usual multi-vendor setupLocal employment law, contractor classification and IP terms are your problem to verify, country by country.

    With SILAStatutory employment, contractor classification, payroll and benefits are handled under local law in each market, with IP and confidentiality assigned to you in every engagement.

  • Accountability

    The usual multi-vendor setupA different contract, invoice and owner in every country you add.

    With SILAOne agreement, one invoice and one accountable owner from first hire to regional operation.
