How fast can companies build high-performing nearshore teams?

In this episode of The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, host Brian Samson, Founder of Plugg Technologies, explains how U.S. companies can go from zero to fully onboarded nearshore talent in as little as 14 days.

Brian breaks down why nearshoring in Latin America outperforms traditional offshoring, focusing on time zone alignment, communication, cultural fit, and long-term performance. He shares real-world hiring insights from countries like Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia, plus the operational details most teams underestimate—from sourcing and vetting to onboarding and retention.

This episode is ideal for founders, CTOs, and hiring leaders exploring nearshore hiring, LATAM tech talent, remote engineering teams, and distributed work models.
