What is a nearshore recruiting firm?

A recruiting firm that finds, vets, and places talent from countries near your timezone. Opus is a nearshore recruiting firm for US companies: it places full-time Latin American professionals who work US business hours in real time.

How is Opus different from a staffing agency?

A staffing agency leases you temporary workers. Opus recruits one vetted person for a permanent full-time seat, employs them directly with payroll and compliance handled, and backs the placement with a lifetime replacement guarantee with no cap or time limit.

Where does Opus recruit?

Primarily across Latin America, so every placement works with US timezone overlap.

How senior are the candidates?

Opus places senior professionals. Every candidate passes an 8-layer vetting process, more than 500 candidates have been screened, and each hire completes a 6-module internal AI certification before day one. You meet only the top three per role.

How long does a search take?

A shortlist of 3 vetted candidates lands in 5 days, and the average placement is onboarded 14 days after the first call.

A nearshore recruiting firm for Latin American talent

Opus is a nearshore recruiting firm that places vetted, full-time Latin American professionals inside US companies. It is a specialist, not a generalist: every search runs the same 8-layer vetting process, delivers a shortlist of 3 candidates in 5 days, and places the hire in 14 days on average, with US timezone overlap on every placement and a lifetime replacement guarantee behind every hire.

What a nearshore recruiting firm does

A recruiting firm exists to take the riskiest step in building a team, choosing the person, off your plate. A nearshore recruiting firm does it with talent from your own working day: for US companies, that means Latin America, where candidates share US business hours instead of replying overnight from twelve time zones away. Opus goes one step further than most: it does not stop at the introduction. It employs the hire directly, handles payroll and compliance, and stays accountable for the placement for its entire life.

Every Opus candidate passes an 8-layer vetting process before reaching a shortlist.
