Why Founders are Hiring Global Teams instead of Sticking to a Specific Region

The myth that your team should be located in just Europe or only in Latin America is old news.

Hiring a remote, global team is the smarter move.

Here's why:

  • Wider talent pool: When you limit yourself to hiring from one location, you limit your talent pool. By hiring globally, you can access a wider pool of talented individuals with diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and perspectives.

We’ve said it before & will say it again: your clients are global, your team should be too. Stop boxing yourself in.

  • Lower overhead costs: Hiring globally typically cuts around 70% of overhead costs compared to a fully U.S. team. Salaries vary based on location, experience, and role. Here’s an example of how much salaries can vary depending on location:

    • A Customer Success Manager (with the same type of experience and skill level) can cost you:

      • Latin America: $24k+

      • Europe: $50k+

      • US: $80k+

  • Improved productivity: Global teams often report higher levels of productivity and job satisfaction compared to their office-based counterparts. This is because they have more control over their work environment, thrive in autonomous roles and can avoid distractions that may be present in a traditional office setting.

  • Around-the-clock coverage: A global team can provide coverage around the clock, which can be particularly beneficial for businesses that operate in multiple time zones or have customers in different regions of the world. This can help you provide better customer service and support- giving you an edge over those niched into a specific timezone.

  • Diverse perspectives: A global team can bring diverse perspectives and ideas to your business, which can help drive innovation and creativity. Different cultures and backgrounds can bring unique insights to the table that may not be possible with a localized team.

  • Increased flexibility: A global team can be more flexible and adaptable to changing business needs. With team members located in different regions, you can quickly adjust to market changes or unexpected events.
