What nearshore means on a Tuesday.
For a U.S. startup, nearshoring means building with people in nearby countries whose workday overlaps yours. At Motum, it’s a dedicated, ongoing role. Your engineer joins planning, reviews pull requests, and can talk through a production issue while the rest of the team is online.
Who takes care of what
We handle the setup
Motum maps the market, runs targeted outreach, and evaluates technical depth, ownership, communication, and team fit. Once you choose someone, we coordinate contracts, equipment, and onboarding.
We stay involved
Motum handles payroll, local administration, and ongoing support. You have a partner to call as your teammate settles in and their responsibilities grow.
WHY MOTUM?
Built for Performance
Built-In Talent
We stay in touch with engineers we’ve vetted, so your shortlist starts with people whose work we know.
Top-of-Market Talent
Meet senior engineers who have shipped products with U.S. teams and can own decisions from design through release.
Nearshore Leverage
Shared working hours give your engineers time to pair on a problem, review code, and ship together.
Market Experts
We know the talent markets across Latin America and can help you set the right scope and compensation for the role.
Results, Not Promises
We track how quickly you meet qualified people, how they perform on the team, and how long they stay.
When does this model fit?
Choose Nearshore Teams when the role will still matter after the next release. An engineer who will own your payments service over multiple product cycles is a good example. For a specialist needed only through one integration, explore Staff Augmentation.
