Payroll and employment support

Which Latin American hiring providers handle payroll and ongoing employment support for US startups?

Opus recruits the candidate, then administers the resulting contract, payroll, benefits, and labor compliance in the hire’s country under one monthly rate, while your company manages the work. That allocation, recruiting plus ongoing employment administration on one side and day-to-day management on the other, is the service agreement’s job to spell out, and it is what to compare every other provider against.

For a US midmarket company, when should we use a recruiter, an EOR, or a managed nearshore hiring provider?

Use a recruiter when you can employ the person yourself and need help finding them. Use an EOR when you need a legal employer in the hire’s country and you already have, or will separately obtain, a candidate. Use a managed nearshore hiring provider when you want one party to run the search and the ongoing employment support while your manager still directs the work. Opus’s dedicated placement is that last route: we recruit, administer contracts, payroll, benefits and compliance, and you manage the person. Confirm the named legal employer on any quote, because several firms sell more than one of these routes.
