What this hire costs, both halves of the bill.

What you're hiring for

Owning a support inbox end to end: email and chat tickets, order issues, refunds, chargebacks, escalations and help-centre upkeep.

Why Colombia for this role

Bogotá sits in US Central time year-round, so a full US workday overlaps with no antisocial hours. Strong professional English in the major cities, particularly in tech and finance roles.

The default choice when the role needs live US-hours collaboration rather than async work.

Common questions

What does it cost to hire a customer support specialist in Colombia?

Two numbers: the salary and the finding. A full-time customer support specialist in Colombia earns roughly $900–$1,400 per month, which you pay directly — we never take a markup on it. Finding them through a typical agency costs 25–35% of first-year salary ($2,700–$5,900 on this band); through us it's a flat $1,995, due only when you ask to meet your finalists.

How long does the search take?

Typically two to three weeks from a confirmed brief to a shortlist of three graded finalists. You interview whoever you like and hire directly. If no finalist clears your bar, we rerun the search once at no charge.

Do I have to book a call?

No — and this is the one thing we do differently from every other agency in the category. You describe the role in a form, we confirm by email within 24 hours, and the whole search runs asynchronously. There is no sales call at any point.

Who employs the person?

You do, directly, at their local Colombia salary. We're a matchmaking service, not an employer or payroll provider — we never pay your hire, set their hours, or take a cut of their salary. If you want formal local employment, an employer-of-record service handles it and our compliance guide explains when that's worth its fee.
