Hire in Colombia, without opening an entity.

XCAILE becomes the legal employer in Colombia, so you get compliant contracts, local payroll, benefits, and IP assignment on one invoice. First hire live in 5 to 10 business days via EOR.

5 to 10 business days via EOR Employer burden ~40 to 52% on top of gross UTC−5 (aligns US Eastern)

Why Colombia

  • Fastest-growing tech talent hub
  • Strong SDR/CS/BPO base
  • Excellent time-zone match

Colombia's Ley 2101 is progressively cutting the workweek to 42 hours by 2026. Great blended cost and quality for GTM and CS pods.
