We've built our entire 20-person team in Latin America.
Here are the 6 biggest hiring mistakes companies make:
1. Thinking Small
Overseas isn't just for virtual assistants anymore.
We mostly hire mid-level and senior talent in Latin America.
You can find top-tier marketing, finance, accounting, and developer talent.
Many from top startups and Fortune 500 companies.
2. Not Setting Objectives
You should be setting goals for your new remote hires and managing to them.
1. Set specific and measurable goals
2. Put a name next to a KPI
3. Review progress
That's how you know whether they are meeting or exceeding expectations.
3. Being Cheap
Hiring abroad is as much about building high-performing teams as cost savings.
Wrong hires are expensive. Underpaying causes churn.
I overpay like 20% for happy & loyal employees that work extra hard.
You get the best possible person for a role that way.
4. Not Investing in Them
Treat your remote employees like any equal in the states.
Get to know them. Invest in training them.
They are smart people like anyone sitting in your office.
5.Picking the Wrong Country
We love Latin America.
Shared timezone.
Share culture.
Amazing talent.
Great value.
6. Going At It Alone
Bad hires are costly.
Great hires take a network, expertise, and a lot of leg work.
We've hired hundreds of employees in Latin America @juleshiring and have 45,000+ pre-vetted profiles.
