- Why hire nearshore staff from Colombia instead of the US?
- Colombian professionals offer the same education quality and work ethic as US equivalents at 50–65% lower cost. Colombia's top universities produce engineers, architects, accountants, and business professionals who are bilingual, work Florida-compatible hours (same or 1-hour time zone difference), and are experienced with US business culture. For Florida businesses, nearshore Colombian staff provide the cost structure of offshore outsourcing with the communication quality and availability of a local hire.
- What roles can Sourcy HI fill from Colombia?
- Sourcy HI places Colombian professionals across a wide range of roles: insurance CSRs and account managers, civil and structural engineers, architects and CAD drafters, construction project coordinators and estimators, administrative assistants and operations coordinators, marketing and content specialists, software developers, and bilingual customer service staff. We specialize in roles that support Florida's core industries — insurance, construction, architecture and engineering, and PEO/HR.
- What is the cost of nearshore staffing from Colombia?
- Sourcy HI placements start at approximately $2,500 per month per full-time employee, compared to $5,000–$8,000 per month for an equivalent US hire when you factor in salary, benefits, payroll taxes, and overhead. The exact cost depends on the role, experience level, and scope. EOR (Employer of Record) support is included, which handles Colombian employment law, payroll, benefits, and compliance — so you get the staff without the administrative burden of international employment.
- How does Sourcy vet Colombian candidates?
- Sourcy HI's vetting process includes skills assessments specific to the role, English proficiency testing, professional reference checks, background verification, and a structured interview process. For technical roles (engineering, architecture, software development), candidates complete technical assessments reviewed by Sourcy's subject matter experts. We only present candidates who meet the specific requirements of your role — typically 2–3 finalists per search.
- What is EOR (Employer of Record) and why does it matter?
- An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service where Sourcy HI legally employs the Colombian staff on your behalf, handling all Colombian employment law compliance, payroll processing, benefits administration, and tax obligations. This means you get the benefit of a Colombian employee without needing to establish a legal entity in Colombia or navigate Colombian labor law. You direct the work; Sourcy HI handles the employment relationship. This is the standard and legally compliant way for US companies to hire in Colombia.
- How quickly can Sourcy HI fill a position?
- For common roles (insurance CSRs, administrative assistants, CAD drafters), Sourcy HI typically presents qualified candidates within 2–3 weeks of receiving a detailed job description. For specialized technical roles (structural engineers, licensed architects), the search takes 3–5 weeks. Once you select a candidate, onboarding through the EOR process takes an additional 1–2 weeks. Most placements are working within 30–45 days of engagement.
