How much does it cost to hire LATAM talent through Committed Staff?

For Direct Hire, you pay a one-time fee equal to 25% of the candidate's first-year salary—only after you hire. For Managed Talent, you receive one all-inclusive monthly invoice covering salary, management fee, payroll, and compliance. There are no upfront costs, subscriptions, or retainers for either service.

What is the difference between Direct Hire and Managed Talent?

Direct Hire is a one-time recruitment fee (25% of first-year salary) where you handle payroll, HR, and compliance after hiring. Best for permanent in-house team growth with a 21-30 day timeline. Managed Talent is an ongoing monthly solution where Committed Staff handles payroll, HR, compliance, equipment setup, and provides unlimited replacements. Best for fast scaling, pilot projects, or flexible workforce needs with a 10-20 day timeline.

Is there a guarantee if the hire doesn't work out?

Yes. Direct Hire includes a 3-Month Perfect Hire Guarantee with one free replacement. Managed Talent includes unlimited replacements during the contract period at no extra cost.
