Frequently Asked Questions on Hiring Employees in Latin America


Based on our experience, these are the most commonly questions about Hiring employees an international Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and how Biz Latin Hub can help.

Headhunting, also known as executive recruitment, is a proactive approach to finding talent in the job market. A headhunter or executive recruiter actively searches for individuals who have the specific skills and qualifications to meet a client’s needs.

Headhunting is a specialized form of recruitment that is proactive and often used for executive positions. In contrast, standard recruitment services are more routine and passive, focusing on filling vacancies as they arise.

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a service provider that allows businesses to hire employees in foreign countries without the need to establish a legal entity in that country. Acting as the ‘Employer of Record’ (EOR), a PEO handles all legal and regulatory requirements, freeing up your business to focus on its core operations.

The terms Employer of Record (EOR) and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) are often used interchangeably. They both refer to a service that includes recruitment and payroll outsourcing.

Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) are a good fit for companies that wish to hire staff to support their commercial activities in a territory where they don’t have a legal presence. This could be a temporary arrangement while the business is undergoing local incorporation, or a long-term strategy to avoid establishing a legal entity. It’s particularly useful for companies looking to hire a small number of specialist staff, or staff for roles such as sales or representation.

The main advantage of using an Employer of Record (EOR) is the speed at which you can start working. An EOR allows you to hire staff quickly without having to establish a legal entity, meaning you can start operations as soon as you find the right personnel.

When you hire through a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), the PEO employs your chosen candidate through their local legal entity. They then process the worker’s payment on your behalf, reducing your need to engage in that territory. Your involvement is essentially limited to instructing the PEO when to hire or terminate employees.

Absolutely. Our experienced recruiters, based across Latin America, have successfully helped many clients find their ideal staff. Typically, it takes between two to four weeks to find a candidate with a specialized profile.

We generally expect to hire your candidate within a week of being assigned as your Professional Employer Organization, for entry-level positions.

For Employer of Record (EOR) services, we charge a simple monthly service fee per employee, in addition to reimbursement of the total cost of the employee.

While the client is responsible for providing the funds to cover payroll, employment-related benefits, and payroll taxes in full, as your PEO firm, we handle the administration of wage payments to employees, as well as the payment of employment-related benefits and applicable taxes.

While the ultimate responsibility for the employees lies with the client, we provide comprehensive guidance regarding employment laws and regulations as part of our PEO / EOR service package.

To begin utilizing our Professional Employer Organization services and streamline your international hiring process, please get in touch with us through our contact us page. Our team of experts is ready to assist you with all your hiring needs.

PEO setup typically takes 1-4 weeks, while legal entity formation requires 3-6 months in most Latin American countries. PEO services accelerate market entry by eliminating the need for complex local incorporation procedures.

PEO arrangements may limit participation in government tenders and public contracts because the company lacks direct legal presence in the country. Government and institutional bidding often requires local incorporation as a prerequisite for participation.

Employee termination under PEO follows strict local labor laws. The PEO handles compliance, paperwork, and mandatory severance calculations. Companies must adhere to notice periods and termination procedures specific to each Latin American country while working through their PEO provider.
