How to choose
Both models work. The right one depends on your team.
When does nearshore make more sense?
When you want maximum real-time overlap with US hours. Nearshore hires in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia work standard US business hours, so standups, reviews, and pairing happen live.
When does offshore make more sense?
When you need coverage beyond US hours or want to stretch budget further. Our Bulgaria-based engineers give you a team working while your US team sleeps.
Do I have to choose just one?
No. Plenty of clients run blended teams: nearshore for real-time collaboration, offshore for extended coverage or additional savings.
What does hireworks handle either way?
Sourcing, vetting, compliance, and payroll, for both nearshore and offshore hires. You manage the work; we handle the employment logistics.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the role and the model, but clients save 40% on average vs. fully-loaded US cost. Tell us what you're weighing and we'll price it out.
