Any company that’s tried to hire a software development team will tell you it’s a challenging and expensive process, thanks to the competitive US job market, high turnover rates, and rising salaries. All these factors make it increasingly difficult for businesses to scale their tech teams efficiently. But Remote Team Solutions (RTS) offers an alternative that balances cost-effectiveness with top-tier talent: hiring nearshore developers in Mexico.
Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to hiring a nearshore software development team by partnering with RTS. You’ll see why it’s been a breakthrough for so many US businesses in need of software development staffing.
Step 1: Explore the Benefits of Hiring Nearshore Developers in Mexico
Nearshore software development is a strategic solution that allows businesses to access top tech talent while overcoming common challenges associated with other hiring methods. Here’s why US companies hire nearshore software development in Mexico.
Major Cost Savings
Hiring software developers in Mexico can reduce expenses by up to 60% compared to US-based hires, thanks to low turnover rates coupled with the affordability of hiring talented software developers in the Mexican job market. You’ll also save on additional expenses like office space and equipment.
Full Oversight and Direct Communication
Unlike traditional outsourcing, where projects may be handled by anonymous teams with little accountability, nearshore staffing with RTS means you have the final say on who gets hired. The developers we hire are an extension of your team with a full understanding of your business.

Unlike offshore staffing, where time zone differences can cause frustrating delays, nearshore teams in Mexico operate in the same time zone as your US company. This enables real-time collaboration, faster problem-solving, and more efficient project management.
Highly Skilled and Experienced Developers
Mexico has a thriving tech industry with a strong educational foundation in software engineering, cybersecurity, and IT solutions.
