Nearshore outsourcing means hiring teams in nearby countries to cut costs and improve efficiency. On average, businesses save 30–50% compared to hiring locally. For example, a U.S. company paying $60,000 per year for an in-house role can often hire the same skill set nearshore for $30,000–$40,000, while also benefiting from similar time zones and easier collaboration.

Nearshore outsourcing helps cut labor costs by 30–50%, improves efficiency, and gives access to agents who speak English and Spanish. For example, hiring a software developer in the U.S. may cost $90,000–$110,000 per year, while a nearshore developer with the same expertise can cost $40,000–$60,000. Plus, working in similar time zones reduces delays and makes collaboration faster compared to offshore outsourcing.

You can outsource a wide range of services nearshore, including:

Customer support – nearshore agents often cost 40–60% less than U.S.-based staff.

IT and software development – a U.S. developer may cost $100K/year, while a nearshore developer costs around $45K–$60K/year.

Back-office tasks like data entry, finance, and HR – savings typically range from 30–50%.

Technical support – nearshore specialists cost significantly less while providing 24/7 coverage in overlapping time zones.

Nearshore outsourcing reduces many issues seen with offshore outsourcing, but some challenges remain:

Cost differences – Savings are typically 30–50% with nearshore, while offshore can sometimes reach 60–70%, but at the expense of quality or communication.

Talent availability – Certain niche skills may still be more limited compared to larger offshore markets.

Legal and compliance – Regulations differ by country, so contracts and data security need clear agreements.

Cultural alignment – While stronger than offshore, there can still be slight differences in work styles.
