Getting Started

Nearshore staffing means hiring skilled professionals from neighboring countries (Latin America) who work in your same or compatible time zone. Unlike offshore hiring, there's no time difference problem — your new team member is available during your business hours, every day.

Most staffing agencies fill seats. ISA builds fit. We use DISC profiles, structured vetting, and Ideal Hire Persona Development to find candidates who match your workflow, communication style, and culture — not just your job description.

Typically 2–4 weeks from persona definition to first interview. We move fast without sacrificing the depth of vetting that makes placements last.

You're never locked into a long-term contract. Month-to-month means we stay accountable to you every single month — and if something isn't working, you're never stuck.

Vetting & Fit

We start with a structured discovery session to build your Ideal Hire Persona — including soft skills, communication style, and work ethic preferences. Then we vet every candidate against that profile, not just a job description.

English fluency is a non-negotiable screening criterion. Every candidate is evaluated for internal and client-facing communication ability before they're ever presented to you.

We replace at no cost. ISA handles the new search — you don't restart the process from scratch or pay again. That's our replacement guarantee.

Absolutely. You interview and select. We never place without your approval.

ISA uses a fixed-fee model. You'll get clear pricing during your consultation — no hidden fees, no surprises. We're upfront because we're confident in what we deliver.

We specialize in back-office, administrative, and professional support roles: legal, accounting, insurance, construction coordination, and more. If you have a role in mind, let's talk.

Latin America is in US-compatible time zones (ET, CT, MT, PT coverage available). Your team member works your hours — real-time collaboration, not async delays.

Yes. Month-to-month contracts mean you can grow your nearshore team as your business grows — without being locked into headcount you don't need.
