Hire With Near, a nearshore staffing and recruiting agency helping U.S. companies hire talent in Latin America, has been named a G2 Leader in two major categories for the second consecutive quarter. The recognition comes from G2’s Fall 2026 Grid Reports for Staffing Agencies and Recruitment Agencies, the platform’s highest designation based on verified customer satisfaction and market presence.
Four Category Recognitions in Fall 2026
Beyond the Leader status, G2 also named Hire With Near a High Performer in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and On-Demand Staffing Services. Every G2 designation is derived solely from verified user reviews, which score providers on ease of doing business, quality of support, and likelihood to recommend. The grids are updated quarterly.
Review Themes: Speed, Candidate Quality, Reduced Workload
Across 155 verified reviews, clients consistently highlight three strengths: hiring speed, the caliber of candidates, and how much of the recruiting burden Hire With Near removes from internal teams.
One verified G2 reviewer wrote: “Incredibly responsive team. Only sent the best candidates our way. Their processes are so efficient, I wish we could hire U.S. talent the same way.”
Clients emphasize the time savings from a screening process that delivers a short list of vetted candidates rather than a full pipeline.
Another verified reviewer wrote: “Hire with Near speeds up hiring by letting me interview only top candidates, saving 80% of my time. This frees me to focus more on operations and sales, directly benefiting the business.”
A distinctive part of the screening workflow is the use of recorded video answers from candidates, allowing hiring managers to assess communication skills before a live interview.
A third verified reviewer wrote: “I love that part of their process is providing video answers to pertinent questions during the initial review process. Given English language skills and accent is key to the roles we’re hiring for, getting a feel for their fluency up front is key.”
Growing Demand for Latin American Talent
The recognition aligns with surging demand for nearshore hiring. According to Hire With Near’s 2026 State of LatAm Hiring Report, which analyzed more than 2,000 placements, demand for software engineers in Latin America grew 250% year over year. The report also found that 84% of all Latin American hires were mid-level or senior professionals.
The firm’s growth has tracked that demand. Hire With Near ranked No. 118 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
Leadership Perspective: Scaling Without Losing the Model
Hayden Cohen, CEO of Hire With Near, said: “We have added a lot of clients over the last couple of years and kept the same way of working. Every account still gets a dedicated recruiter who learns the business and the culture. Clients tell us it feels like having an in-house recruiter, and I want that to stay true as we keep growing. I’m happy to see that current G2 reviews reflect our commitment to providing a great service and exceptional candidates.”
