Fintech Staffing and Recruiting Agency

A fintech staffing and recruiting agency sources, screens, and delivers interview-ready candidates so you’re not spending time sifting through applicants who don’t understand the industry or lack the technical and compliance background your roles demand.

At Near, the process starts with a discovery call where your dedicated fintech recruiter learns exactly what the role requires: the accounting standards or tech stack involved, the tools your team runs on, the stage your company is at, and the non-negotiables—whether that’s US GAAP experience, proficiency with NetSuite, or prior fintech company background.

We then source from our LatAm talent network, screen thoroughly, and deliver a shortlist within days.

You interview. We coordinate. You make the hire.

Near is a full-service nearshore staffing and recruiting partner that helps US companies hire across all industries and departments, including fintech. Our recruiters specialize in placing finance and accounting professionals, software engineers, and customer-facing roles across payments, lending, wealth tech, and B2B financial infrastructure.

Our services include:

1. Candidate sourcing and screening: We handle sourcing, screening, English proficiency testing, US GAAP and software tool verification, initial interviews, and international background checks.
2. Payroll, compliance, and contracts: Through our staffing model, Near manages contracts, payroll, tax compliance, and benefits administration so you can hire in LatAm without setting up a local entity.
3. Equipment and onboarding logistics: We've helped clients source laptops, secure office space, and coordinate equipment setup when needed.
4. Ongoing support: Your dedicated recruiter stays available on Slack after placement for check-ins, questions, and anything that comes up.

Both our recruitment-only and full-service staffing options include the same rigorous vetting process and no upfront costs.

Near works on a contingency basis: no upfront costs, and you pay only when you make a hire.

Our fees depend on which model you choose—recruiting only, or full-service staffing that includes payroll and compliance—and we walk through both clearly on the first call.

Most clients find that even after Near's fees, the total annual cost of a LatAm hire is 40–60% less than the equivalent US-based hire.

No, Near only presents candidates with strong, professional English—written and spoken—verified in our screening interviews.

We include video introductions with every candidate so you can assess communication style before the first interview.

We send the first batch of vetted candidates within 5 business days after the kickoff call, and most roles are filled in under 3 weeks. 

We prioritize quality over speed—we’d rather take an extra few days than send you candidates who don’t fit—but we’ll always tell you upfront if a specialized role will take longer.

Yes. LatAm professionals work full US business hours because the time zones are closely aligned.

The primary difference between hiring in Latin America and offshore hiring in Asia is real-time collaboration during US business hours.

An accountant in Colombia or an engineer in Mexico is available in real time during your business day.

If you’ve tried offshore hiring in India or the Philippines and experienced the overnight lag during month-end close, missed deadlines waiting for answers, or run finance operations entirely async, working with LatAm talent is a fundamentally different experience.

Near has a 97% placement success rate, 80% two-year retention across placements, and a 4.9 rating on G2 from 115+ client reviews. Those metrics reflect consistent delivery, not one-off wins.

Our recruiters specialize by function and industry. That means they understand what separates an average candidate from an A-player in your specific role.

Every candidate goes through a structured screening for skills, communication ability, and culture alignment before reaching you.

Clients regularly tell us the quality of talent we present exceeds what they’ve seen from job boards or other agencies and that their hardest decision is choosing between strong options.

If a hire doesn’t work out, our 180-day replacement guarantee protects you.

Near is best suited for fintech teams that need to scale quickly without US-level salary overhead, while maintaining high standards for technical depth, compliance knowledge, and real-time collaboration.

We work particularly well with growth-stage fintech companies hiring across engineering, finance, compliance, product, and customer-facing roles at the same time. 

Teams that require US time zone alignment for month-end close, audit preparation, product launches, or live customer support see immediate operational benefits.

Near is also a strong fit for fintech companies that want vetted, full-time professionals instead of contractors and that value a structured hiring process.

If you need experienced professionals who understand financial workflows, regulatory environments, and the pace of fintech—without compromising on quality or speed—Near is designed for that.
