Frequently asked questions

Why is hiring in Uruguay cost-effective?

Uruguay offers a highly skilled talent pool, particularly in tech and marketing, at significantly lower operational and salary costs compared to the US and Canada. Factors include lower cost of living and favorable business conditions, allowing Ranker to provide top talent affordably.

What's included in the 'Est. annual total cost'?

For In-House Roles, this figure represents the estimated total cost to employ someone, not just their base salary. It includes mandatory employer contributions like social security (BPS), the 13th-month bonus (Aguinaldo), vacation pay bonus, and standard overhead estimates (approx. 35% for UY, 40% for US, 30% for CA based on typical burdens). This provides a more realistic budget comparison.

How does Ranker ensure talent quality?

Ranker employs a rigorous vetting process that assesses technical skills, experience, English proficiency, and cultural fit. We leverage our deep understanding of the Uruguayan market to source and validate top-tier professionals aligned with North American business standards.

What about time zone differences?

Uruguay (GMT-3) has excellent time zone overlap with the East Coast of North America (typically 1-2 hours difference) and reasonable overlap with other US/Canadian time zones. This facilitates real-time communication and collaboration during standard business hours.

Is English proficiency common?

Yes, English proficiency is strong within the professional talent pool in Uruguay, especially in the tech and marketing sectors Ranker focuses on. We specifically vet for high levels of written and spoken English suitable for business collaboration.
