Vetted Latin American talent, hired in about a day
A staffing marketplace built on a wage gap: vetted technical and generalist professionals from Latin America, placed in about a day, at a fraction of a comparable local hire. Overlapping time zones are the argument against the offshore comparison.
Marketplaces need both sides at once, but this one can lean on the supply side being permanently eager, so the money goes into demand. A single placement can be worth several thousand in fees, which changes what a click is allowed to cost.
$3,137 bought 3,220 clicks, or $0.97 a click. Under a dollar a visitor for a business where one conversion pays for the entire placement several times over.
