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.
This month, we dropped the new standard for creating contracts: Just tell Aura what you want.
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.

“Hire a Senior Designer, $3,500 monthly, starting March 1.”
Aura takes it from there.
This is how modern teams hire.
If the same person signs most of your contracts, you can now set a default contract signatory and skip repetitive manual work.
Once set, the signatory’s name, role, and email are automatically pre-filled in every new contract, saving time and reducing errors.

Teams help you group contractors by role, project, or location, making hiring, onboarding, and payroll easier as you scale.

No more manual calculations for partial-month payments.
Ontop now automatically calculates prorated compensation when a worker starts or ends in the middle of the month, delivering payroll that’s accurate, fast, and error-free.
Perfect for teams looking to improve payroll automation and reliability.

Finding and managing worker benefits just got easier.
We’ve moved the Perks Hub to the People section, where everything related to your workforce belongs. This update makes perks more visible, easier to access, and simpler to manage as your team grows.

Future Fund is a new in-wallet savings feature that allows your contractors to earn a fixed return on the portion of their Ontop balance they’re not using right away.
It’s built directly into the Ontop Wallet, so workers don’t need external apps, accounts, or complex setups.
