Frequently asked questions
What is offshore staffing?
Offshore staffing is hiring full-time remote employees in a foreign country who work exclusively for one client company. Unlike freelance marketplaces, offshore staff are dedicated, pre-vetted, and operate as an extension of the client's team — attending standups, using the same tools, and reporting through the same workflows as local hires.
How much can I save by hiring offshore?
Most Remoteria clients save 60–75% versus local US salaries for the same role. A mid-level web developer that costs $110,000/year in a major US metro is available as a pre-vetted offshore hire for $2,500–$3,500/month all-inclusive. Customer support reps, virtual assistants, and admin roles typically see the biggest delta.
How does Remoteria differ from a freelance marketplace?
Freelance marketplaces (Upwork, Fiverr) are transactional — you post jobs, sort through proposals, and manage every hire yourself. Remoteria is a managed service: we source the candidates, run a 5-stage vetting process, handle contracts and onboarding, and back every placement with a 30-day replacement guarantee. The result is dedicated, full-time hires who stay for years, not project-based freelancers who churn.
Will the offshore hire overlap with my business hours?
Yes. We match every candidate to your working hours and guarantee at least 4–8 hours of live overlap per day. Most clients hire offshore staff who work a US-aligned shift, so standups, pair programming, and client calls happen in real time rather than asynchronously.
Which US cities does Remoteria serve?
Remoteria serves businesses in 25+ major US metros including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, Washington DC, Denver, Phoenix, and more. Our offshore staff work remotely, so geography does not constrain where your business can be based.
Is there a minimum commitment or long-term contract?
No. Remoteria bills month to month with no long-term lock-in and no minimum headcount. You can start with one hire, scale up as you grow, or wind down without cancellation penalties. Every placement is also covered by a 30-day replacement guarantee at no extra cost.
