Some LATAM hiring stats most founders don’t know

If you’re planning your 2026 hiring roadmap, this is worth a serious look.

🇨🇴 Colombia • 100,000+ tech graduates per year • One of the fastest-growing tech ecosystems globally 🇦🇷 Argentina • Top 3 globally for developer skills (HackerRank) • 130,000+ highly skilled engineers • Near-perfect overlap with European time zones 🇲🇽 Mexico • 600,000+ English-speaking tech professionals • True nearshore alignment for both US coasts And here’s the part that really matters: Companies building teams in LATAM typically see 30-60% operational efficiency gains without sacrificing quality. Why? Because: • Retention is higher • Ambition is stronger • Loyalty is earned; and returned • Teams want ownership, not churn This isn’t about cost-cutting. It’s about building resilient, scalable organisations. At Nexus, we help companies design LATAM teams that feel like an extension of HQ... not an outsourced function. If you’re planning your 2026 hiring roadmap, this is worth a serious look. hashtag#Nearshoring hashtag#Startups hashtag#TalentStrategy hashtag#LATAMHiring hashtag#Nexus
