Decide the role, overlap, vetting depth, and first 90 days before you interview.
For engineering managers and CTOs who have decided to add nearshore engineers from Latin America and want to get the upstream decisions right before the first interview. This checklist walks through defining the role, setting time-zone overlap requirements, vetting engineering depth, choosing between a marketplace and a dedicated partner, planning access and security, and structuring the first 90 days. Use it during vendor calls and internal planning meetings rather than as a one-time reference. It is built from the recurring points where nearshore hiring decisions succeed or quietly go wrong, before budget and roadmap are already committed.
What you get
- How to define a nearshore role by the problem it solves instead of a job title or budget line
- How to map time-zone overlap against your team's actual ceremonies instead of a generic 'similar time zone' claim
- What a real technical vetting process looks like beyond a resume and a take-home test
- How to choose between a self-serve marketplace and a dedicated nearshore partner
- What to lock down on access, escalation, and IP ownership before an engineer's first day
- How to structure the first 90 days so ramp time turns into measurable output
