The Future of Hiring Isn’t Offshore—It’s Nearshore

from The Jim Stroud Podcast · host Jim Stroud

What if your biggest talent advantage isn’t AI—but where you hire? In this episode, Jim Stroud and Brian Samson challenge outdated hiring models and make the case for nearshoring to Latin America as the smarter alternative to both offshoring and overpaying domestically. Discover why companies are tapping into high-skill, same-time-zone talent—and why AI may actually increase the value of adaptable human teams. If you’re an HR leader still hiring the same way you did 5 years ago, this conversation might change your strategy.
