Hire developers in Latin America: what to know

Latin America has become the default nearshore option for US companies: time zones within a few hours of US Eastern, a large developer pool and strong communities in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Chile.

Most LATAM hiring still runs through agencies. ViewSkill lets you search GitHub profiles in each country yourself, rank developers by the code they shipped, and hire them directly or through your employer of record.

Questions

How does ViewSkill find developers in Latin America?
It searches GitHub profiles whose location field names a place in Latin America, then reads the code each person published to rank them by real skill. You get names, a score, verified skills and the reason behind each ranking.
Is this a staffing agency or a marketplace?
Neither. ViewSkill is a search and screening tool. You contact and hire developers directly, with no placement fee and no middleman markup on their rate.
What time zones should I expect?
Latin America runs from about UTC-6 (Mexico City) to UTC-3 (Buenos Aires, São Paulo), within a few hours of US Eastern time. Plan at least a two to four hour overlap with your team for standups and reviews, and say the overlap you need in the search so the shortlist reflects it.
How do I check a candidate an agency already sent me?
Paste their GitHub link. In about 30 seconds you get the same report: score, verified skills, recent activity and a plain-English verdict, so you can compare agency candidates with the ones you sourced yourself.
