Latin America isn’t just part of the global talent strategy anymore, it’s becoming the center of it.
In our dataset, 89% of contractors are based in LATAM, confirming the region as the operational backbone of modern distributed teams. But the shift isn’t only about scale. Compensation patterns show the market maturing as well.
Uruguay now leads Latin America in average contractor compensation, significantly outpacing regional peers. This signals something important: companies are no longer hiring in the region just for cost advantages, they’re investing in the strongest talent ecosystems.
For companies building global teams, the message is clear: Latin America isn’t an extension of the workforce anymore. It’s where the core of global execution is happening. And with Ontop, you already have the infrastructure to build it.

🤖Hire at the speed of conversation
This month, we dropped the new standard for creating contracts: Just tell Aura what you want.
No forms.
No back-and-forth.
No friction.
You describe who you’re hiring. Aura builds, validates, and sends the contract, in minutes.
This is not a faster workflow. It’s a completely new way to hire.
💌 Why this is a game changer:
From idea to contract in under 3 minutes
One conversation replaces multiple screens and forms

👉 How it feels
“Hire a Senior Designer, $3,500 monthly, starting March 1.”
Aura takes it from there.
