What does it cost to hire in Latin America?
Landed cost for a Latin American hire is gross salary plus statutory employer burden plus a service fee. Burden runs roughly 10 to 25 percent in the Caribbean markets, 22 to 38 percent across most of Spanish-speaking Latin America, and 40 to 55 percent in Brazil. A bilingual support agent typically lands between 1,400 and 3,200 US dollars per month all-in, a mid-level software engineer between 4,000 and 8,000, against comparable US fully loaded costs that are commonly two to three times higher. Time to first start is usually 2 to 4 weeks for support and operations roles and 3 to 6 weeks for engineering.
Scoping something bigger than a role?
If the question is a team, a function, a project or a country entry rather than a single position, the project assistant shapes the delivery model, the team composition and the 90 day sequence.
