Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between nearshore and offshore staffing?+
Nearshore staffing places remote workers in countries with similar time zones — Latin America for U.S. businesses. Offshore places workers in distant time zones (Philippines, India). Nearshore staff work your business hours in real time; offshore staff typically work night shifts or asynchronously.
Why is Latin America considered nearshore for U.S. businesses?+
Latin American countries operate in U.S. time zones: Mexico City is Central Time, Colombia and Peru are Eastern Time. A nearshore hire in Latin America works the same hours as your U.S. operations with zero time zone friction.
Is nearshore staffing as cost-effective as offshore?+
Yes — typically 60–70% less expensive than a U.S. local hire, similar to offshore rates. The advantage over offshore is time zone alignment and native Spanish capability, which offshore providers in Asia-Pacific cannot offer.
What roles work best with nearshore staffing?+
Any role requiring real-time communication and/or bilingual English-Spanish skills: customer service, dispatch, virtual assistant, appointment setting, bookkeeping, and lead generation.
Does MX Staffing only place nearshore workers?+
Yes. MX Staffing specializes in bilingual professionals from Mexico and Latin America — all placed in U.S. time zones, all vetted for bilingual English-Spanish fluency and customer-facing experience.
