We created this simple website to explain differences between renting people as lower cost staff from offshore companies vs. hiring people to work for you same as long-term career employees through an HR corporation in the Dominican Republic. The cost to hire can be 50% less than comparable employees in the mainland USA.
The DR is 2 hours from Miami, right here in America's backyard! The people are college educated, bilingual English/Spanish and are culturally American. Many have dual citizenship with USA yet can work remote from DR for half the cost of the mainland USA.
The video at bottom of this page was made by Nicole Felipe who works through our HR service in the Dominican Republic for a company in New York.
Nicole has been with this company 5 years and is growing a long-term career same as a loyal employee yet her cost is 50% less than working in the mainland USA.
She starts the video with a basic summary and then breaks. If you want more information please continue viewing the remainder as Nicole explains a complete detailed presentation. Or, mark the spot and come back to finish the video later.
Summary of our Service: First, we are NOT any type of offshore company such as call centers, outsourcing or virtual assistant firms. Most American companies that try these offshore services cancel when realizing the failures, overselling their abilities and low quality outweigh the benefit of lower cost.
Our business model is simple and common sense. Imagine you hired Nicole in the USA through an HR company like ADP or Paychex. She works for you same as a career employee while on paper is technically employed by the HR company.
You are not renting her from a company as what happens with call centers, outsourcing or virtual assistant firms. With the HR/payroll strategy a person like Nicole fits in and works for you same as a long-term loyal career employee.
Our business model is similar except our HR company and the people like Nicole are located in the Dominican Republic (only 2 hours from Miami) where the cost to hire excellent people to work for you same as career employees is half that of employees in the mainland USA.
Your Company > Our USA Corp > Our Dominican HR > Nicole in DR works for you as career employee
On paper she is a contractor through our Dominican HR company where American IRS rules do not apply. This means people like Nicole can work direct for your company, growing long term careers while on paper are contractors through our HR company.
This means no employee related legal risks. Not taxes, health or other insurance and none of the overhead costs of a USA based employee.
This plan creates the Employer/Employee relationship that explains how and why a person like Nicole can fit in with you same as a career employee without any of the legal risks or overhead costs of a USA based employee.
Video call such as Zoom or Teams can make it the same as if a remote worker like Nicole is literally sitting next to you.
Rather than try to explain everything in writing please make time to view the entire video as Nicole explains the details.
