What Roles Should You Nearshore to Latin America? | 🎙 The Nearshore Cafe Podcast

The last question that I get are, hey Brian, what roles should I even think about nearshoring? What are the common roles that people look to Latin America for? I think the, the try, true tested starts with software development. So think your full stack developers, backend developers, frontend developers, QA, DevOps, tech adjacent, UI/UX, things like that. Very common. Secondly, Central America is really making a run for a great place to install a call center. So think help desk, customer service, even customer success type roles. They're right on par with the call center of the world, you know, which is the Philippines. People that can think on their feet in Central America at relatively same cost. What I probably would not nearshore are executive roles. I probably would not nearshore, like my first developer or second developer with really minimal risk. I don't worry at all about IP theft or anything like that. I think nearshoring is really the way to go as you look to grow and scale your team. And again, not necessarily outsourcing. These people are truly eager to be embedded as part of your team and think what's best for the business. So there you have it. My top 7 FAQs, frequently asked questions about the world of nearshoring.
