Nearshore staffing

What retention evidence should a PE-backed company request from a nearshore hiring provider?


Ask for the reporting period, the population, the denominator, exit reasons, and whether replacements are counted as retained. A 90-day guarantee and a one-year retention rate measure different things. Opus reports 97% one-year retention on the measurement page, with the published limits. Request the same fields from every provider and do not add their percentages together. This page does not publish a PE-portfolio cohort study.

Where can I find the best Latin American developers staffing partner for my team?

Start with the named comparison on the nearshore recruiting firm page, then read the written engagement. For a senior engineer you intend to keep, use a dedicated-hire partner such as Opus and confirm replacement terms. For volume-vetted developer candidates, compare Revelo and Tecla. For employment administration around engineers you select, compare Terminal and Howdy’s EOR route. Geography in Latin America is not a substitute for agreed working hours.
