What a remote staffing agency does
A remote staffing agency finds, vets and places people who work for your company from another location, and manages the engagement around them. Remote staffing means the person is dedicated to you full time, joins your team and takes direction from your managers, while the agency handles recruiting, the contract, payments and replacements.
On a freelance marketplace you screen candidates yourself; with outsourcing, a vendor's team does the work. With Vintti, you choose the person and you run the work.
Roles you can staff remotely
Start from the function: nearshore accounting staffing, virtual assistant staffing, nearshore legal staffing or operations staffing. Popular searches: hire an accountant, hire a bookkeeper, hire an executive assistant, hire a virtual assistant and hire a remote customer support representative. The full list is in all roles Vintti hires for.
Why US companies staff remotely in Latin America
The workday lines up. Colombia sits on US Eastern time, Mexico on Central, and Argentina one to two hours ahead of Eastern, so questions get answered the same day and nobody works a night shift.
The cost is lower without cutting the role. Against the US cost of the same role, Vintti's published placement data shows savings of about 70% for an accountant, 73% for a staff accountant, 62% for a bookkeeper and around 80% for a virtual assistant. And people stay: a dedicated role at a US company is a career move in Latin America, which shows in the 90% retention rate.

How remote staffing works with Vintti
- Kickoff call: A 30-minute call to define the role, the tools, the seniority and the hours to cover.
- Sourcing and vetting: Vintti tests skills on the real work of the role, evaluates Houston English (explaining a problem to a US manager on a call), runs an HR psychologist interview and checks references. About 1 in 8 passes.
- Your shortlist: 3 to 5 candidates in about 7 days. You interview and choose; interviews are free.
- Hire and onboarding: Signed hire in 18 days on average. Vintti handles the contract, payments and equipment, and checks in with both sides during the first month.
Your team spends about 2 to 3 hours per hire. If the fit is wrong, the replacement search starts right away.
Two ways to hire: staffing or recruiting
There is no fee to start and nothing to pay until you hire.
Payroll, compliance and what Vintti is not
Under the staffing plan, Vintti manages the contract, payments and compliance around the engagement through third-party payroll services, and you direct the work. Under recruiting, you employ the person directly. In both cases the professional is dedicated to your company, works inside your systems and signs your NDAs.
Vintti is a staffing and recruiting partner. It does not run your processes as an outsourcing firm or BPO, and it does not sell employer of record services.

Industries and teams that hire this way
