Recruitment, staff augmentation, or nearshore: which fits your team?

Three ways to add marketing talent. One short answer to which is right.

Hiring is hard, slow, and expensive when you go it alone. We make it simple with three flexible models, all marketing-only and CMO-vetted. Here is how they compare, so you can pick with confidence.

Finding the right marketer is the hard part.

Specialized marketing talent is scarce, hiring cycles are long, and a bad fit is expensive. Most teams do not need one fixed answer; they need the right model for the role, the budget, and the timeline.

That is why we offer three. The comparison below lays them out side by side. If you are not sure, a 20-minute call gets you a clear recommendation.

Recruitment places a permanent, full-time hire on your payroll. Staff augmentation adds flexible contractors (US or nearshore) who work as part of your team without a permanent commitment. Nearshore outsourcing gives you Latin American contractors who augment your team on a monthly model. Recruitment builds your core team; staff augmentation flexes capacity; nearshore scales output affordably.
Nearshore is typically the lowest cost, running roughly 30 to 70 percent below an equivalent U.S. hire. Staff augmentation costs depend on the hours you use. Recruitment has no upfront fee at all under our Pay Nothing Until You Hire model, but the result is a full salary on your payroll.
Staff augmentation and nearshore are fastest: we maintain pre-vetted talent pools, so contractors or a team can start within days. A permanent recruitment placement usually takes two to four weeks.
