I acquired a small, niched software business a year ago. I'm a past engineer, ready to expand with a nearshore engineer in the same time zone I'm in, so Central US.
Most of my experience is with outsourcing shops in India and Ukraine. Has anyone here had great experience hiring this way in Latin America?
