What Near Does
Near sources candidates across countries like Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil, screens them, and sends a shortlist within a short window.
After the hire, Near can act as the payroll and compliance layer, or you can contract the person directly.
How Pricing Works
Near uses a placement fee, with optional payroll support model. Recruiting agencies usually charge a one-time placement fee, often expressed as a percentage of first-year pay or a flat amount. After that, you pay the assistant directly or through a payroll provider. Ask about the guarantee period and what happens if the hire leaves early.
Who It Is Best For
Near is a strong fit for uS companies hiring full-time staff in Latin America. Its talent is based in Latin America, so check that the time zones line up with the hours you need covered.
Things To Check Before You Sign
Ask exactly what the placement fee covers and how long the replacement guarantee lasts.
Confirm who employs the hire after placement and whether the agency offers payroll help.
Request the screening steps in writing: English assessment, skills test, references.

Before You Commit
Questions To Ask Any Virtual Assistant Company
Use these on the first call. Clear answers are a good sign. Vague ones tell you something too.
Who employs the assistant, and who pays them?
The answer decides your legal exposure, your costs, and who handles problems.
What exactly did you check before introducing this person?
Ask for the English test, the skills assessment, and the reference calls, not a summary.
What happens if it is not working after two weeks?
Replacement terms, refund windows, and notice periods should be in writing.
Which hours will they work, and in what time zone?
Overlap with your day matters more than the region name on the website.
How do you handle data security and access?
Passwords, customer data, and payment details need a process, not a promise.
What is the total monthly cost, including fees?
Placement fees, platform fees, and payroll charges add up. Get one number.
