Market and salary calibration
Compensation benchmarks by role, level and city before sourcing starts, so offers land the first time.
Recruitment · Mexico
We recruit in Mexico for international employers, permanent, contract and RPO, and we can employ the people we find, so hiring is not blocked by whether you have an entity.

You get a search strategy, a salary-market view and an expected shortlist timeline.
01The situation
Most hiring failures in Mexico are not talent-supply failures. They are calibration failures: a US job description translated literally, a salary band converted at the wrong reference, an interview loop that takes longer than the local market tolerates.
We calibrate the role against the local market first, title, level, realistic compensation, competing employers in that city, and only then start sourcing. That is why shortlists survive contact with the interview panel.
If you have an entity, we hand over an accepted offer. If you do not, the same person can start on our Employer of Record and transfer later.
Recruitment vs staffing vs RPO
Recruitment: we find and place a person you employ. Staffing capacity is delivered through the lawful employment or managed-service structure selected for the work, supervision model and contracting entities. RPO: our recruiters run part of your hiring process for a fixed period and a defined requisition volume.

Answers
The questions buyers ask us before they commit. If yours is not here, send it and a Mexico specialist answers it directly.
Ask a Mexico SpecialistPermanent placement is normally a percentage of first-year compensation, invoiced on start date with a replacement guarantee period. Contract and temporary staffing is billed as an hourly or monthly rate that includes salary, statutory burden and a service margin. We confirm the exact structure in writing before we start sourcing.
For professional and technical roles, a first shortlist typically lands in one to two weeks and an accepted offer in three to six weeks, depending on your interview process. Volume and plant-floor hiring runs on a weekly cadence once the profile is calibrated.
