What Near’s EOR Services Cover When You Hire Through Us
Near’s staffing model includes EOR services, so you don’t need to source a separate provider or set up any employment infrastructure yourself. Near partners with Deel and Globalization Partners to deliver compliant payroll and employment management across Latin America.
No entity setup required
Hire in any Latin American country without registering a local business, opening a foreign bank account, or researching country-specific labor regulations.
Payroll and compliance, covered
Salary disbursement, local tax withholding, statutory benefits, and employment contracts are all managed on your behalf, in compliance with local law in each country.
One partner, end to end
Near finds, vets, and places the talent. Payroll and employment compliance run through our trusted EOR infrastructure. You have just one partner for the whole engagement.
The same talent, with everything managed
Near’s staffing model gives you access to the same vetted LatAm candidates as other hiring models. The difference is that contracts, payroll, and compliance are taken care of.
Risk-free hiring
Pay nothing until you hire. And if a placement doesn’t work out within 180 days, we find a replacement at no extra cost.
Savings that lead to growth
Save 30-70% vs. US-based hiring. Staff the positions your business needs without the budget constraints that slow down most companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party entity that legally employs workers on behalf of another company, handling contracts, payroll, local tax obligations, and benefits in the employee’s home country.
US companies use EORs to hire internationally without establishing a local legal entity, which can take months and significant legal expense.
For companies hiring remote talent from Latin America, an EOR makes it possible to bring someone on in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, or Brazil compliantly, without a local subsidiary or legal presence of your own.
No. You do not need to establish a local legal entity to hire LatAm talent through Near. Near’s staffing model handles the full employment infrastructure on your behalf, including contracts, payroll, and compliance, through partnerships with experienced EOR providers.
Entity setup is only relevant if you want to employ someone directly under your own company’s name in that country, which most US businesses hiring remotely do not need.
Near works with Deel and Globalization Partners, two of the most established and widely used EOR platforms in the world.
Both operate across Latin America and are built specifically for compliant cross-border employment. You don’t need to have an existing relationship with either platform. Near coordinates with them directly so the process is simple on your side.
Near places talent across Latin America, including Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Honduras, Costa Rica, and more. Payroll and compliance coverage follows the same footprint, so wherever Near places a hire, the employment infrastructure is in place to support it. If you’re hiring across multiple countries at once, that can be coordinated through a single engagement.
Near’s staffing model bundles recruiting and employment management into one relationship: Near finds the candidate, you hire, then we handle payroll, compliance, and benefits administration.
If you already have a direct relationship with an EOR platform like Deel and prefer to own the employment relationship yourself, Near also offers a direct-hire model where you bring the candidate onto your own payroll.
The recruiting process is identical either way. The difference is whether you want Near to handle the employment backend or manage it through your own existing infrastructure.
Near charges a monthly fee per hire, calculated as a percentage of the placement’s salary, which covers payroll processing, compliance management, and ongoing HR support. The team will walk you through the total cost on your discovery call. Even with Near’s fee included, the all-in cost of a LatAm hire is typically up to 50% lower than that of an equivalent US-based hire.
