Global hiring is shifting — fast. In 2025, U.S. companies are moving away from India and Asia, turning instead to Latin America for tech talent, loyalty, and time-zone alignment.

In this episode of The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, host Brian Samson, Founder of Plugg Technologies, talks with Evan Greenberg, Director of Client Solutions at Plugg, about what’s really driving this transformation.

They discuss the massive rise in nearshoring, how AI and data roles are reshaping recruiting, and why Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina are becoming the new global tech hubs.

You’ll also learn about the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model that’s helping startups and mid-market companies scale fast — without the headaches of compliance or setup.

From fake resumes to loyalty challenges and H-1B visa changes, this episode breaks down the biggest staffing stories of the year — straight from the front lines of hiring.

🎧 Listen now to hear how Latin America is redefining the future of remote work, loyalty, and innovation.
