Beyond Hub sources, vets and employs bilingual El Salvador professionals for US and Canadian teams, and runs payroll, tax, benefits, compliance and HR on their behalf. Placement typically takes 1–3 weeks.
Nearshore staffing places employees in a country close to the client’s home market—typically within one to three time zones—rather than offshore (10–12 hours away) or onshore (same country, full domestic cost). Beyond Hub operates specifically in El Salvador, sourcing bilingual professionals who work US business hours and are paid in US dollars. Beyond Hub is not just a recruiter: under the Fully Managed (EOR) model, Beyond Hub is the legal employer in El Salvador and handles payroll, taxes, benefits, compliance, HR, equipment and onboarding.
| Factor | Nearshore (El Salvador) | Offshore (e.g. India, Philippines) | Onshore (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time-zone overlap | Never more than 2 hours from TX, FL or CA | 10–12 hour gap | Same zone |
| Currency | USD (official since 2001) | Local currency + FX risk | USD |
| Cost vs US hire | Save 50–70% | Save 60–80% | Full domestic cost |
| Travel | Short direct flights from major US hubs | 15–20+ hour journey | Domestic |
| Language | Bilingual English/Spanish | English (varies by market) | English |
Beyond Hub publishes both fee structures. Under the Fully Managed (EOR) model, the client pays the employee’s fully-loaded salary (base plus El Salvador statutory employer contributions of approximately 26%) plus a flat +$449/month Beyond Hub fee. Under the Contractor model, the fee is 25% of the contractor rate. See the full pricing page for worked examples and role-by-role cost ranges.
The result: save 50–70% vs a comparable fully-loaded US hire. The “fully-loaded US hire” comparison uses US base salary × 1.43, derived from BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (Dec 2025), where wages are 70.1% of total employer compensation. US base salary benchmarks come from BLS OEWS and the Robert Half 2026 Salary Guide.
Beyond Hub staffs roles across sales, support, operations and finance. The common thread is that the role requires strong English, US-hours availability, and benefits from real-time collaboration with the client’s team. Roles currently staffed:
El Salvador is UTC−6 year-round with no daylight saving, so it is never more than two hours from Texas, Florida or California, in any season. El Salvador has used the US dollar as its official currency since 2001—no FX risk, no conversion costs. The workforce is bilingual (English/Spanish) and US-aligned, with a growing pool of professionals who already work US business hours. You do not need a legal entity, a local payroll provider, or a compliance lawyer in El Salvador to hire through Beyond Hub. CAFTA-DR provides a general trade-stability signal between El Salvador and the United States. Short direct flights from major US hubs make in-person visits practical.
| Factor | Fully Managed (EOR) | Contractor |
|---|---|---|
| Who employs the person | Beyond Hub (legal employer in El Salvador) | The person is an independent contractor |
| Fee | Flat +$449/month on the fully-loaded salary | 25% of the contractor rate |
| Payroll, tax, benefits, compliance | All handled by Beyond Hub | Not applicable |
| Equipment | Provisioned by Beyond Hub on Day 1 | Contractor provides their own |
| Ongoing HR & check-ins | Monthly check-ins, engagement support | Not included |
| Best for | Core, ongoing, full-time roles | Flexible, project-based or part-time work |
If a role is a core full-time seat, Beyond Hub will say so rather than selling the cheaper option. Misclassifying a core full-time role as a contractor to save the fee is a compliance risk under Salvadoran labor law and one of the most common mistakes in nearshore staffing.
Day 1–3: Discovery + first candidates. Beyond Hub learns your requirements, culture, and hiring bar on one 45-minute call. Within days, you receive the first pre-vetted candidate profiles.
Weeks 1–2: Interviews + offer. You interview only qualified candidates. Beyond Hub handles scheduling, prevents dropoffs, and manages offers. Most clients make their first hire within 1–3 weeks.
Weeks 2+: Onboarding + compliance. Beyond Hub handles employment contracts, tax compliance, benefits, and equipment. Your new hire starts with zero administrative burden on you.
Ongoing: Operations + growth. Monthly check-ins with each team member, performance support, engagement, and scaling up or down as you need.
Every candidate is screened for skills, English fluency assessed in live conversation (not certificates), and role-specific capability before you ever see them. You only meet interview-ready finalists who have already cleared the bar. Beyond Hub does not post jobs and wait—it taps a vetted network of El Salvador professionals across sales, support, marketing, ops, and finance.
Nearshore staffing fails for identifiable reasons, and the honest ones are worth naming.
Under the Fully Managed (EOR) model, the monthly cost is the employee's fully-loaded salary (base plus approximately 26% in statutory employer contributions) plus a flat +$449/month Beyond Hub fee. Under the Contractor model, the fee is 25% of the contractor rate. Mid-level roles typically cost $2,150–$3,800/month all-in under the EOR model, saving 50–70% vs a comparable fully-loaded US hire. See the pricing page for exact role ranges.
No. Under the Fully Managed (EOR) model, Beyond Hub is the legal employer in El Salvador. You do not need an entity, a local payroll provider, or a compliance lawyer. Beyond Hub already has all three.
You receive pre-vetted candidate profiles within days of the discovery call. From first conversation to onboarded team member typically takes 1–3 weeks, depending on how quickly you interview.

Beyond Hub manages offboarding, final settlements, equipment collection, and paperwork. Salvadoran labor law governs notice periods and severance, and Beyond Hub handles that compliance on your behalf.
Yes. The Contractor model is designed for flexible, project-based, or part-time work. For a core ongoing role, the Fully Managed (EOR) model is more appropriate regardless of hours.
Under the Fully Managed model, Beyond Hub provisions equipment on Day 1—laptops, monitors, peripherals, specced to your requirements. The hardware cost is separate from the +$449 management fee and is owned by you.
El Salvador is UTC−6 year-round and does not observe daylight saving. It is never more than two hours from Texas, Florida or California, in any season. A 4:00 PM Eastern escalation is still inside the working day in El Salvador.

An employer of record (EOR) is a company that legally employs a worker on behalf of a client. Beyond Hub acts as the EOR in El Salvador: it signs the employment contract, runs payroll, withholds taxes, administers benefits, and ensures compliance with Salvadoran labor law. You direct the work; Beyond Hub handles the employment.
A recruiter finds candidates and collects a placement fee. Beyond Hub does that, and also employs the person, runs payroll, handles compliance, provides equipment, conducts monthly check-ins, and manages offboarding. A recruiter disappears after the hire; Beyond Hub is the ongoing employer.
Deel and Remote are global EOR platforms that employ someone you already found. Beyond Hub sources, vets, and places the candidate, then employs them. The +$449/month fee covers both the EOR function and the ongoing talent operations (check-ins, engagement, account management) that a platform does not provide.
No. One agreement covers sourcing, employment, payroll, compliance, HR, and ongoing operations. Beyond Hub is one partner from hire to scale.
Beyond Hub manages the full exit—notice period under Salvadoran labor law, final settlements, equipment collection, and paperwork. If you want a replacement, Beyond Hub begins sourcing immediately.
Yes. Beyond Hub handles the conversion, including the employment contract, benefits enrollment, and compliance transition. If the role is a core full-time seat, Beyond Hub will recommend conversion proactively.
Beyond Hub does not staff roles that require a US-based physical presence (e.g. field sales with in-person client meetings, warehouse operations) or roles requiring US-specific professional licensure. For any role that requires real-time collaboration during US hours and can be performed remotely, Beyond Hub can typically source candidates.
