Start Building Your Team
Your Team Needs Talent.
Yesterday.
Every week without the right developers pushes your roadmap further out. Features stall, deadlines slip, and the pressure lands on the same senior engineers already working nights and weekends.
The Speed Problem
Hiring moves too slow. Finding, interviewing, and onboarding one developer can take months. Offshore adds a full day's lag to every interaction.
The Cost Problem
Onshore drains your budget. When all you really need is five solid people for a six-month sprint, the market only offers you permanent headcount.
The Impact
Lost momentum.
Burned-out teams.
Missed opportunities.
The Nearshore Advantage
Why Nearshore Changes Everything
Real-Time Collaboration
Work in your time zone. Standups at 9 AM, code reviews while you’re at your desk, fixes the same day.
Cost-Effective Excellence
Senior level talent at 30–50% less than U.S. rates. Stretch your budget without lowering the bar.
Cultural Alignment
Fluent English, Agile/Scrum experience, and work culture that feels familiar. No lost context.
Travel Feasibility
2-4 hour flights for quarterly meetings or critical sprints. Build real relationships, not just virtual ones.
Stable Infrastructure
Modern hubs, strong internet, and reliable ecosystems across Latin America.
Nearshore is a smarter way to scale with speed, quality, and control.
Nearshore Staff Augmentation That Actually Works
Tech First connects you with experienced developers from Latin America’s top tech hubs. In less than two weeks, they join your team, work your hours, and blend into your workflow like they’ve always been there.
Team members join your stand-ups. They’re in Slack. They push commits to your GitHub. They follow your processes and use your tools. The only difference is how quickly you hired them.
This isn't offshore outsourcing. It's nearshore expansion with all the benefits and none of the barriers.
Same Time Zone
PST to EST coverage with 100% overlap.
Near Native English
Clear communication, no language barriers.
True Scalability
Scale from 1 to 50 developers, adjust anytime.
Cultural Fit
Familiar with Agile, Scrum, and Western business culture.
Cost Optimization
30-50% savings vs. onshore, better quality than offshore.

Gives you the balance, cost savings, real-time collaboration, and strong cultural alignment.
