How You Hire

A straightforward independent contractor model.

Every placement is structured as an independent contractor engagement, not a W-2 hire. That keeps the arrangement simple for you and clear for the professional joining your team. This is what hiring from Latin America looks like without the legal complexity of direct employment.

What This Means
No payroll or tax paperwork on your end.
There's no payroll to run and no benefits to administer. Contractors handle their own taxes and filings in their own country. You pay one flat placement fee and compensate your contractor directly. That's the whole arrangement.
Come Back Anytime
You pay us a one-time fee, that's it.
One flat fee, paid once, gets you access and placement from our personal network of professionals. No retainers, no surprises, and a 90-day replacement guarantee. Come back for a future role and you receive discounted rates as a returning client.

Have questions about how the contractor relationship is structured? We are happy to walk through it.

Common Questions

Answers before you hop on the call.

Is this an EOR or staffing platform?
No. El Dorado places independent contractors directly with your company. You pay one flat placement fee and work with the professional yourself. There are no monthly retainers and no ongoing cuts of their pay.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
Every placement comes with a 90-day performance guarantee. If the fit isn't right in that window, we source a replacement at no additional cost.
How is this different from a job board or database agency?
Most agencies match you against a database of applicants they've never met. I spent four years living and working across Latin America and built a personal network of professionals I know firsthand. When you hire through El Dorado, you're hiring someone I can vouch for, not a resume that matched a keyword search.
Is hiring an independent contractor in Latin America risky?
We structure every placement as a standard independent contractor engagement, the same model thousands of U.S. companies already use to hire remote talent abroad. We're happy to walk through how this works on your intro call, and we always recommend you loop in your own accountant or counsel for anything specific to your business.
How much does it cost?
A flat, one-time placement fee based on the seniority of the role. No retainers, no percentage of salary, no surprise invoices later. Returning clients get a discounted rate on future placements. Full details are on our pricing page.
How fast can I actually get candidates?
Most clients get a shortlist within a week of our intro call. Because we go straight to people we already know, we skip the weeks of sourcing and screening a traditional search takes.
