Who Hire With Near is

Hire With Near is a Latin America recruiting and staffing company. It rebranded from Near to Hire With Near in May 2026 (company press release, May 20, 2026). It says it has helped 950+ US companies and holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating on G2. It hires across ten functions and offers two models: direct hire, where you pay a one-time placement fee and employ the person yourself, and staffing, where Hire With Near invoices monthly for salary plus its fee and handles payroll and compliance.

Where Hire With Near is ahead

We would rather say this plainly than have you find it on your own.

• Speed. They promise shortlists in under 5 days. We present the first round of candidates in 10 days. If the seat had to be filled yesterday, that gap matters.
• Breadth. They cover ten functions. If you need a marketer, an accountant, and a software engineer this quarter, one vendor for all three is simpler.
• Scale and reviews. 950+ US companies and a 4.9 G2 rating is a long track record. We were founded in 2025.
• Choice of model. Their direct-hire option lets you own payroll if you already employ people in Latin America. We offer one monthly model.

Where Talent Scout is different

1. The price is published, and it is all-in. Hire With Near does not publish its fee; you learn it on a call. Their marketing page does publish salary benchmarks, for example a mid-level Digital Marketing Manager at $3,500 to $4,500 a month in salary, with their fee added on top. Our $3,500 to $4,500 a month is the whole number for a senior specialist: pay, search, contracts, compliance, cross-border payments, and replacements. See the full pricing breakdown.

2. Marketing is the whole company, not one department of ten. Hire With Near reports 500+ marketing hires, a real number. Our difference is that marketing, creative, and operations seats are all we recruit for, and the search is shaped by people who ran a marketing agency: we sold our digital agency after scaling with Latin American specialists.

3. Senior is defined. Our "senior" means roughly 5+ years of hands-on experience in the specialist's specific discipline, and every candidate clears an 8+ out of 10 English bar.

On guarantees, the monthly models match. On Hire With Near's staffing model, free replacement runs for the duration of the engagement. Ours is free replacements at any time, on every hire. Their direct-hire model carries a 180-day guarantee. If you compare monthly model to monthly model, the difference is not the guarantee; it is a published all-in price and a marketing-only focus.
