Opus places nearshore hires in 14 days on average, while SHRM’s hiring research puts typical US time-to-fill at over a month. 97% of Opus placements stay at least one year, working US business hours in full timezone overlap — Harvard Business Review finds well-run distributed teams can outperform co-located ones.
“Shocking how quickly we got candidates. Even more shocking at how qualified they were. Two hours of my time, total.”

Who this is for
Built for $60-180K roles.
Not a VA shop.
Senior operators, engineers, finance and customer leads who run the work, not task-takers you have to script. If your next hire is a $6-an-hour assistant, we’ll save you the call: that’s not what we do.
You hire confidently. We carry the risk.
The Opus Lifetime Guarantee: if a hire ever stops working out, we replace them free. No cap, no clock. We can back it because 97% of placements are still in the seat a year later.

What teams ask before
working with us
-
Will their English be strong enough for our team?
Yes. Every candidate clears a live English call with our team before they reach your inbox. We screen for fluency, accent clarity, and how they handle real conversation under pressure.
-
We’ve been burned by offshore before. What’s different here?
Most offshore arrangements run on pre-built rosters and resume screening. We build a role profile and scorecard with your hiring manager, then run every candidate through skills assessments, English fluency, references, role fit, culture fit, and our internal AI tools certification. The hire joins your team full-time, on your hours, as one of your own.
-
How fast can we start hiring?
The discovery call takes 20 minutes. Three vetted candidates land in your inbox in 5 days. Most placements close within 14 days of the kickoff call, often sooner.
-
What roles can you fill?
We place senior hires across operations, finance, engineering, marketing, customer support, and executive support, full-time and embedded into your team. If you’re hiring for a role that requires a specific industry background or technical skill set, the discovery call is the fastest way to confirm fit.
-
How does pricing work?
One all-in monthly rate per hire, covering talent, payroll, international compliance, and the support around the placement. It scales with the role and seniority. A comparable local senior hire runs $12-15K once you add payroll tax, benefits, and overhead. Your exact quote depends on the role and seniority; you get it on the 20-minute call.
Run your own numbers in the cost calculator → -
What if the hire isn’t a fit?
We replace them at no cost. A new shortlist of three vetted candidates lands in 5 days, and the search resumes immediately. The replacement guarantee runs for as long as the placement is on your team.
How the lifetime replacement guarantee works → -
Do nearshore hires actually stay?
Yes. 97% of Opus placements stay at least one year. Placements join your team full-time rather than as gig contractors, we vet for drive and culture fit alongside skills, and every placement carries a lifetime replacement guarantee with no time limit, so the retention risk sits with us, not with you.
More on the 97% retention guarantee → -
Who handles payroll, taxes, and compliance?
Opus does. Every placement is employed through Opus, and we run payroll, benefits, and cross-border compliance on our side. You don’t need to open a foreign entity, register as an employer abroad, or manage international contractor paperwork. One monthly rate covers the placement and the legal layer around it.
How Opus handles payroll and compliance → -
How is this different from a staffing firm or a recruiter?
Traditional staffing firms charge 25 to 35 percent of salary per placement, average 35 to 44 days to hire, and disappear once the offer is signed. We work on a single monthly rate, place inside 14 days, and stay close through onboarding and the full lifecycle of the hire. Our placements join your team full-time. They’re not contractors and they’re not handed off.
