Daniela BorregoCustomer Success Specialist, SpendHound“The recruiting process with LatamCent was super smooth from start to finish. Communication was always clear, and I felt supported through every step. Nicole Bejarano was amazing, friendly, thoughtful, and always prepared me before each interview so I knew what to expect.

Before You Hire: The Honest Fine Print
What the reviews and figures above don’t make obvious, so you can decide if LatamCent fits your search.
LatamCent may not be right if you…
- Need talent outside Latin America. LatamCent recruits only in Latin America, not Asia or Europe.
- Want freelancers or temp staff. LatamCent focuses on full-time roles.
- Want someone else to make the call. You interview the finalists and choose who to hire.
- Need a very senior, niche hire this month. The median is 19 days, but Monarch’s specialized roles took 31 to 74 days each.
If a hire doesn’t work out
60 days
Every hire comes with a 60-day replacement guarantee. If the person isn’t the right fit in the first 60 days, LatamCent finds you a replacement at no additional cost.
On Talent as a Service, LatamCent also handles replacements when your priorities or roles change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what US hiring managers ask before a first call.
Is LatamCent legit?
Yes. LatamCent is a US company with an office at 350 Lincoln Rd, Suite #303, Miami Beach, FL 33139, and it has made 130+ placements for AI and SaaS teams. Clients including YipitData, SpendHound, Flxpoint and Monarch describe their results on video, and LatamCent holds a 5.0 rating on G2 and 4.5 on Glassdoor.
Are the reviews on this page verified?
The G2 and Glassdoor ratings link to the platforms, where reviews are collected and displayed by the platform. Every client quote on this page is attributed to a named person at a named company and links to that client’s published success story, and many are also on video.
How much does LatamCent cost?
LatamCent doesn’t publish a fixed price list. It quotes after learning your role’s requirements, with no upfront or hidden fees, and if you don’t make a hire you don’t pay. LatamCent’s placement data puts the total cost of a Latin American senior hire about 55% below an equivalent US senior hire.
How fast does LatamCent hire?
The median time from kickoff to accepted offer is 19 days, and most roles are filled in 21 days or less. Senior searches with very specific requirements can take longer. Agreements go out within 24 hours of your yes.

How is LatamCent different from an EOR?
An employer of record (EOR) handles contracts and payroll for people you have already found. LatamCent also finds them: specialist recruiters source, interview and test candidates, and you only meet finalists. LatamCent then handles contracts, payroll and compliance as your contractor of record, which about 99% of clients choose.
Do I need a company entity in Latin America to hire through LatamCent?
No. Acting as contractor of record, LatamCent manages contracts, payroll, legal and compliance, so you can hire without opening a local entity or office.
Where is LatamCent based?
LatamCent’s office is at 350 Lincoln Rd, Suite #303, Miami Beach, FL 33139. It operates through a US entity in Florida, with offices in Miami and Medellín, and hires across 15+ Latin American countries.
