Near’s Editorial Process
and Standards

Our content is written by members of Near’s leadership team and our experienced recruiters: people who work directly in the business and bring real experience to every topic we cover.

Near's leadership team contributors include:

1. Hayden Cohen, CEO 
2. Franco Pereyra, COO 
3. Andres Bahamon, Vice President of Marketing 
4. María José Lorenzo, Director of Talent Acquisition 

Articles are also contributed by members of Near's recruiting team, who bring hands-on expertise in sourcing, evaluating, and placing talent across Latin America. Their day-to-day work in the LatAm hiring market informs how we cover topics like role-specific hiring and candidate evaluation.

At times, members of the content team create articles by collecting information directly from our leadership team and recruiters through interviews and research.

These articles draw on Near’s internal data, placement history, and direct input from the people doing the work.

Every article is reviewed before publication. The direction of that review depends on who wrote it:

1. Articles written by Near’s leadership team or recruiting staff are reviewed by Krista Nelson, Near’s Content Lead.
2. Articles written by Near’s content team are reviewed by a member of Near’s leadership or recruiting team to verify that the information reflects real market conditions and the team’s direct experience placing talent.

During editorial review, each piece is evaluated for:

1. Accuracy: Are the claims, statistics, and recommendations well-sourced and factually correct?
2. Relevance: Does this actually address what our readers are trying to figure out?
3. Alignment: Does it reflect the services Near offers and the realities of the market?
4. Clarity: Is it written in plain language that a busy executive can read and act on?

Our content process uses AI to assist with research, outlining, and early drafts.

From there, a human writer develops the article, and a human editor reviews and approves it before publication.

No article goes live without meaningful human input at every stage.

We don’t publish claims we can’t support.

1. Statistics and data points are sourced from reputable third-party research, government data, or Near's own proprietary research, including our annual State of LatAm Hiring Report.
2. Salary ranges for Latin American roles are based on Near’s own placement data, built from thousands of hires across the region.
3. Where we cite third-party data, we prioritize primary sources—government agencies, peer-reviewed research, and established industry reports—over secondary aggregators.

The hiring landscape in Latin America and the US moves quickly. Salaries change, labor laws evolve, and market conditions shift.

We review and update our articles at least annually to make sure the information you're reading reflects where things stand today.

When an article has been substantially updated, we note the revised date on the page.

We don’t accept payment in exchange for editorial coverage or recommendations. If we ever publish sponsored content, it is clearly labeled as such.

Our content frequently covers topics like employment law, employee/contractor classification, and payroll compliance across Latin American countries.

This information is reviewed for accuracy but is not a substitute for legal advice.

We note this clearly within any article where it applies, and we recommend consulting a qualified legal or HR professional for decisions specific to your situation.

If you spot something that looks out of date or inaccurate, we want to know.
