Near: The Full-Service Staffing & Recruiting Partner

G2 Rating: 4.9 (85+ reviews)

Near (Hire With Near) is a full-service staffing and recruiting agency that helps US companies hire top-performing remote talent in Latin America across finance, accounting, sales, software engineering, AI, data, marketing, operations, and virtual assistance.

We’re not a platform. We don’t supply temps. We’re a white-glove recruiting partner for companies that want A-players who raise the bar for everyone around them. We handle everything—sourcing, vetting, candidate presentation, payroll, and compliance—so hiring feels simple on your side. Our process is built to surface the people who don’t just fit the role, but make your whole team better.

We take the time to understand your culture, goals, and how your team works together, so every shortlist is tailored to what success looks like in your business.

[fs-toc-omit]Key strengths:

1. Quality-first approach: Our 97% placement rate and 9.1+ client satisfaction come from obsessing over fit—not just skills, but the drive, readiness, and cultural match to contribute from day one and help your company grow over the long term.
2. One partner, one process: Scale across functions with one dedicated team and a repeatable hiring cadence. First candidates in 3–5 days with video introductions, most hires in under 3 weeks. We remember what worked last time, and we adapt based on your feedback so hiring gets easier and more effective over time.
3. 180-day replacement guarantee: Double the industry standard. If a placement doesn't work out, we find a replacement at no additional cost to you.
4. Two engagement models: Direct hire (one-time recruiting fee) or staffing model (monthly fee with payroll/compliance included). 
5. Talent pool depth + reach: We maintain a pre-vetted network of 45,000+ candidates, but we don't stop there. Every search includes fresh sourcing until we find the right match.
6. Transparent pricing: We show you benchmarks and fees up front. You set salaries for your hires. No hidden markups. No fee until you hire.
7. Equipment & workspace support: Part of our white-glove approach is helping with the extras that matter. From laptops to office space, if your team needs it, we’ll make it happen.
