Nearshore Developers. Onshore Standards. Your Team, Extended.

DASH2 places individually vetted nearshore developers and engineers from Latin America into US-based teams — with the same recruiting rigor we apply to domestic hires. Time zone aligned. Culturally compatible. Ready to ship code.

Talk to Us About Nearshore

The Problem with Most Nearshore Providers

Most nearshore providers treat it as a commodity — low cost, high volume, minimal vetting. You get warm bodies in a time zone and hope for the best. The developers show up, can't communicate clearly, don't understand your codebase conventions, and churn out work that your senior engineers spend more time fixing than it would have taken to build themselves.

DASH2 takes a different approach. We apply the same recruiting model we use for US permanent placements to nearshore work. That means individual vetting for technical skills, communication ability, cultural fit, and English fluency. Every nearshore resource we place goes through the same screening rigor as our domestic contractors — because your team shouldn't have to lower their standards to lower their costs.

How It Works

1

Define the Roles

We sit down with your engineering leadership to understand the tech stack, team dynamics, working hours, and communication expectations. If it's a hybrid model, we map nearshore roles to your existing team structure.

2

Vet Individually

We recruit and screen each candidate the same way we do domestic placements — technical assessments, English fluency evaluation, cultural fit interviews, and reference checks. No resume farms. No bulk submissions.

3

Integrate & Deliver

Your nearshore team members join your standups, use your tools, and work your hours. We manage performance, handle any swaps, and conduct regular check-ins to keep the engagement on track.

Where We Source

Our primary nearshore focus is Latin America — Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and the broader LATAM region. The time zone alignment, cultural compatibility, and depth of engineering talent make it the strongest nearshore market for US-based teams. That said, we can build teams from any country based on your requirements.

Common Questions

How does DASH2 nearshore differ from offshore outsourcing?

We apply our US permanent placement recruiting model to nearshore work — individually vetting each candidate for technical skills, communication, cultural fit, and English fluency. Our primary focus is Latin America for time zone alignment. The result is nearshore talent that integrates like a US-based hire, not a commodity resource.

What countries does DASH2 source from?

Our primary nearshore markets are Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Costa Rica. We can source from other countries based on your requirements, but LATAM offers the best combination of time zone overlap, engineering depth, and cultural compatibility for US teams.

Can you combine onshore and nearshore in one engagement?

Yes. Many of our engagements use a hybrid model — US-based leads and architects paired with LATAM developers. This gives you senior oversight at domestic rates with execution capacity at nearshore economics.

What’s the typical time zone overlap?

Most LATAM countries are within 1–2 hours of US Eastern or Central time. Our nearshore team members work your hours, attend your standups, and are available during your core business day — no midnight handoffs.

How do you ensure English fluency?

Every nearshore candidate goes through a live English fluency assessment as part of our screening process. We evaluate conversational ability, technical communication, and written English. If they can’t communicate clearly with your team in real-time, they don’t get submitted.

What size teams can you build?

From individual contributors to full squads of 6–12 people. We can also build dedicated pods of 3–6 for focused workstreams. Team size scales based on your project needs and timeline.
