|---|---|---|
| Temporary Staffing (including Contract-to-Hire) | Hourly fee | Recurring |
| Direct Hire Staffing | Percentage of the professional's annual compensation | One-time fee |

Because we operate across multiple Latin American markets, we can recommend the location that best balances your quality requirements and target budget.
