What is flat-fee recruiting?
You pay one price. We find the hire.
In a flat-fee recruiting model, you pay a single fixed fee per placement regardless of the candidate’s salary. There are no ongoing costs, no percentage calculations, and no surprises. You know your recruiting cost before the search begins.
How percentage-based recruiting works
You agree to hire someone at $24,000 per year. The agency charges 30% of that as its fee: $7,200. Hire a developer at $48,000 and the fee becomes $14,400. The more valuable the role, the more you pay, even when the recruiting process looks similar.
How flat-fee recruiting works
You describe the role. We source, vet, and deliver 2 to 5 interview-ready candidates within 5 to 10 business days. You interview, choose your hire, and start. Your recruiting cost stays $3,500 whether the salary is $15,000 or $55,000.

SMBs making their first LATAM hires
You need the hiring cost to be clear from the start. A flat fee is easier to justify and easier to budget.
Teams scaling to multiple hires per year

FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know about flat-fee LATAM recruiting.
Why is flat-fee recruiting better than percentage-based recruiting for LATAM roles? ▾
Percentage-based fees scale with salary, even when the recruiting process looks similar. A flat fee keeps the recruiting cost tied to the service, not to the compensation package you agree on with the candidate.
Does the flat fee change based on role seniority? ▾
No. Whether you are hiring a virtual assistant or a more senior role, the fee remains $3,500 per placement.
What is included in the flat fee? ▾
The fee includes sourcing, screening, English proficiency checks, candidate evaluation, a shortlist of vetted candidates, and the 90-day replacement guarantee. You pay $500 to start and the remaining $3,000 when you hire.
What countries does HireLATAM source from? ▾
HireLATAM sources from Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Chile, and Costa Rica, focusing on English-fluent candidates with strong overlap across U.S. business hours.
Is there a guarantee? ▾
Yes. If the hire is not the right fit within 90 days, HireLATAM will replace the candidate at no additional cost.
