What clients say about NBS
Clients who hired in Latin America with us.
Since starting with them, we've hired a backend developer, a full-stack engineer, IT Support, a BDR, and a Project Owner. Each one has been a strong cultural and technical fit.
We partnered with Nearshore to execute a project in Costa Rica. They were fast, reliable, and proactive with their follow-up - helping us build a team of 21 engineers in just a few weeks.
We needed to fill a Customer Success role quickly, and Nearshore delivered. Within three days of signing the MSA, we had a strong list of candidates - complete with video presentations - and hired the right fit just five days later.
