How U.S. Companies Save 50% on Tech Hiring Costs with Nearshore Teams in Mexico

Building and retaining tech teams in the U.S. has become increasingly expensive. A senior developer hired in the U.S. costs $623,000 over three years, including salary, benefits, recruitment, turnover risk, and equipment. On top of that, employers face 40–60% inflated salaries due to competition for scarce talent

For many companies, this leads to delayed projects, lost revenue, and financial strain, with no guarantee of long-term retention.

Savings are only part of the story. Nearshore staffing in Mexico also offers:
