We search broadly and evaluate each candidate based on their education, professional experience, technical capabilities, English proficiency, communication skills, and cultural alignment—ensuring you meet the strongest talent available for your team.
Country profiles
Guatemala
Guatemala is our largest sourcing market. It runs on Central Standard Time (UTC-6) year-round with no daylight-saving change, so a Guatemala City professional is on the same clock as your Dallas or Chicago office every day of the year. It is the most populous country in Central America and the region's largest economy, which gives it the deepest bilingual talent pool for help desk, customer support, accounting, and administrative roles.
Mexico
Mexico is the largest professional talent market in Latin America and the country we use when a role needs technical depth. Central Mexico runs on UTC-6, matching U.S. Central time, and Mexico graduates more than 110,000 engineering students a year — the highest engineering output in Latin America. It is our default recommendation for software development, cloud and DevOps, cybersecurity, and senior finance roles.
El Salvador
El Salvador uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency and has since 2001, which removes exchange-rate risk from your staffing cost entirely. It sits on UTC-6 year-round with no daylight saving, and San Salvador has one of the most concentrated bilingual contact-center workforces in Central America relative to its size. It is our strongest market for voice-heavy customer support and sales development.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica has the highest English proficiency in Central America and the region's most mature shared-services sector — Intel, Amazon, HP, and dozens of other multinationals have run service centers there for years. It runs on UTC-6 year-round. Costa Rica costs more than Guatemala or El Salvador, and you are paying for education level, English quality, and process maturity.
Panama
Panama is the only country we staff from that sits on UTC-5 — the same clock as New York year-round, with no daylight-saving drift. It is a U.S.-dollar economy and a regional headquarters hub, which produces an unusually high concentration of corporate, financial, and logistics professionals for a country of its size. It is our recommendation for East Coast clients and for logistics, trade, and finance roles.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua is the lowest-cost sourcing country we staff from and one of the youngest workforces in Central America. It runs on Central Standard Time (UTC-6) year-round with no daylight-saving change, and its BPO and contact-center sector has grown quickly over the last decade. We use Nicaragua for high-volume, process-driven roles where cost discipline and reliable attendance matter.
