As the owner of a marketing agency, one of the most important factors of your success is having a team of talented individuals who help you achieve your goals. And it’s getting more and more difficult to find talent that’s highly skilled, invested in your success, and fits within your budget.
If you’re searching for talent with diverse skills, excellent qualifications, and the level of motivation you need, consider hiring nearshore talent. They are experienced in a variety of industries and roles, have incredible benefits, and can be stress-free and quick to hire.
So, What is Nearshore Talent?
Nearshore talent refers to skilled professionals who work remotely for a company located in a nearby country.
Because they reside in a country with similar time zones and cultural backgrounds, it makes it easy to communicate, connect, and collaborate in real-time. Opening your search up to a larger market means you’ll have access to a wider range of skills and expertise, not to mention, hiring nearshore talent eliminates HR-related regulatory hurdles and reduces overhead costs.
Here are 3 main reasons your marketing agency should invest in nearshore talent:
- Fit To Fill ManyRoles
Nearshore talent is highly skilled and has proven to be successful in a variety of business, marketing, and communication roles. Many marketing agencies are leveraging nearshore talent in roles such as assistant, project manager, accountant, digital marketer, and more.
Andrew Schenkel, Founder and CEO of Double Play Marketing and Sales employs three Nearshore Talent Professionals who work as marketing coordinators. He said working with them has been “fantastic.”
There’s a level of trust now that we have as a team. Yes, they may be in another country, but they’re a true component of our organization, and that’s what’s made it so successful…They’ve become really a backbone within our business.

- Incredible Benefits
Hiring nearshore talent can provide significant cost and time savings for your marketing agency. With the ability to communicate and collaborate in real-time, you can get more done and delight your clients. The ability to outsource projects and tasks to nearshore remote talent allows you to spend more time improving the client experience and growing your business.
One of the greatest benefits of nearshore talent is the affordability. All countries near the U.S. have a lower cost of living, which means you can get top-quality talent at a fraction of the cost.
- Quick And Easy Hiring Process
You can try to find nearshore talent on your own using talent-sourcing tools such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and UpWork. Or you can take the burden off yourself and get help finding qualified, trustworthy workers by working with a company that specializes in connecting U.S. businesses with nearshore talent.
