What nearshore staffing costs
Rates start at $13 an hour. Every role below is a flat monthly figure for one dedicated, full-time professional, with no recruitment fee.
A dedicated, full-time bilingual professional from GP Outsourcing costs between $1,200 and $3,200 a month, depending on the role. That is one flat figure per person: it covers recruitment, salary, local payroll taxes, equipment, a supervised workspace and account management, and there is no placement fee on top of it. Rates start at $13 an hour. The equivalent in-house hire in the United States runs roughly $45,000 to $60,000 a year once taxes, benefits and overhead are counted.
Every role, and what it costs
Ten staffed roles. The figure is monthly, per dedicated professional, and it is the same figure printed on each service page.

Bilingual is not a surcharge. Every professional we place works in English and Spanish, so there is no English-only tier to price below it.
What the monthly figure covers
The cost of a staffing arrangement is rarely the headline rate. These are the lines that usually sit outside it, and where they sit here.
Inside the rate
- Recruitment, screening and the English assessment
- The professional’s salary and local payroll taxes
- Equipment, software licences and a redundant internet connection
- A supervised workspace in the delivery centre
- Account management, and a replacement inside the guarantee window
Outside it
- Your own software seats, where a licence is tied to your account
- Overtime beyond the agreed schedule, which is agreed in advance
- Third-party tooling you ask us to buy on your behalf
Why an hourly number is the wrong unit
An hourly rate compares well against a freelancer and badly against everything else, because it quietly excludes the expensive parts. Recruiting and screening the person. Replacing them when they leave. Equipment, licences and a connection that does not drop. Payroll taxes. Somebody supervising the work.
Those sit inside the monthly figure above. The comparison that holds is total cost against total cost: roughly $45,000 to $60,000 a year for an in-house administrative hire in the United States, against $14,400 to $18,000 a year for a dedicated bilingual assistant here, both fully loaded.
That is where the 50 to 70 percent figure comes from. It is not a discount on a salary; it is a different cost base.
