There are American/Dominicans living in the DR who can work as your remote & lower cost assistant, customer support, sales support, accounting or work that is unique to your company and can be performed online & phone. Working remote is easy in this modern world.
The cost can be 50% to 70% less than employees at your USA location.
The Dominican Republic is only 2 hours from Miami - same time zone as Eastern USA!
The Youtube video shows a young professional who works remote from the Dominican Republic for a company in New York. By working remote from DR her cost is half that of an employee in the mainland USA.
It is important to know "we are not" an offshore call center, RPO or virtual assistant company. They hire people as their employees to own, control and rent to your company as remote/lower cost staff. This rent-a-worker scenario never works out good.
Most American companies that try these offshore services cancel when realizing the problems outweigh the benefits of lower cost.
We offer a smarter and common sense plan to help you hire people in the Dominican Republic as "YOUR" remote/nearshore/lower cost staff.
Let's use the young professional in the video as an example: We would not hire her as OURs to rent to your company. We would recruit Nicole in the DR for you to interview over Zoom. Our HR partner company hires her on your behalf.
Nicole fits in and works for you same as a happy, loyal and career-minded employee while on paper she is legally payrolled through our USA/Dominican HR partner company.
Her cost to work for you remote from the DR can be 50% to 70% less than if Nicole was an employee at your USA location.
We FRONT the money to cover her payroll each month and this concept eliminates any risk of lawsuits from disgruntled employees.
As you can see, this is very different from renting people from offshore companies such as call centers, virtual assistant firms or RPOs.
A - Assume you need to hire people for jobs such as customer/sales support, accounting, technical support, recruiting or even a personal assistant for your company leaders.
The problem can be legally employing the better quality A list employees can be too expensive. So, companies may not hire anyone which causes executives/leaders to become workaholics doing too much themselves.
Or, companies hire C and D list employees who are more affordable yet this leads to all sorts of other problems.
In the USA, companies often hire workers through HR/payroll companies such as ADP or Paychex. In that scenario the workers are employees of the HR firm while fitting in and working for the hiring companies same as career-minded employees.
The theory with USA employees is the HR company can offer better HR and insurance/benefits than a company can alone, for less. And, hiring people through an HR company can provide shielding from employee lawsuits.
Let's take that idea and move it to the Dominican Republic where the cost to hire A list people who can work remote is 50% to 70% less than employees at your USA location.
The reasons why people can work remote from DR for less than mainland USA are currency exchange rate, no payroll taxes or payroll costs, no cost for benefits, no legal employment risks and none of the overhead costs that normally come with a USA based employee.
The main problem with offshore companies is the workers know they are rented and perceived as extra and expendable. Nobody will give their 100% to any job in that situation.
However, if people think of your company as a good place to work where there is potential to build a long term career and they work for you through an HR company, this is an entirely different and smarter plan for adding remote & lower cost people to your company business plan.
B - For this example our American/Dominican HR company recruits English/Spanish speaking college educated people in the DR to interview with you. Assume you interview Nicole over Zoom and select her.
Our USA/DR human resources partner company hires her on your behalf.
C - On paper she is a contractor while the relationship is the same as Nicole being your long term career-minded employee.
KEY: The IRS rules that govern long term use of contractors only apply to American citizens, not to people like Nicole who work remote from outside the USA.
In this example Nicole can work long term and build a full career with your company fitting in same as a loyal employee while on paper she is a remote contractor where IRS rules do not apply and there are no employee related legal risks, overhead costs or taxes.
D - Your Company > Our USA/Dominican human resources corp > Nicole in the DR works for you
E - Nicole can work 10 or 20 years for you without your company paying payroll or other taxes. No cost for health or other insurance. No legal employment risk, no cost for computers, internet, no cost to recruit or hire, no cost for payrolling etc.
A key to this business model is because you and Nicole think of each other as employer/employee and on the same team this is where the loyalty and commitment to success comes from. This cannot happen when renting people from call centers, RPOs or virtual assistant companies!
F - We can help you hire people like Nicole for customer/sales/technical support, accounting, bookkeeping & payroll, recruiting, an assistant for company leaders or any job that can done online/phone that is trainable.
Zoom or Teams with video call and screen sharing make it almost the same as if a remote worker is sitting next to you
Our Philosophy is you should benefit from Nicole's lower cost while together you and we lift her up by creating a better job than she can otherwise find in a country like the DR.
This win/win thinking helps you understand why people in the DR would want to do a good job and work for you and hope to grow a long term career working for you and your company.
G - The Dominican Republic is only 2 hours from Miami, the people are American/Dominicans, bilingual English/Spanish right here in America's backyard!
F - We FRONT the money to cover payroll for the people set up to work for your company. Your company reimburses ours the next month.

The Dominican Republic is not India or the Philippines and our service is not to be compared with an online assistant service, offshore recruiting or customer service call center.
The proper perception is to compare hiring a person working remote from the DR to your actual cost to hire and employ that same or a comparable person in the mainland USA.
