Hire in Mexico, without opening an entity.

XCAILE becomes the legal employer in Mexico, 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 ~30 to 35% on top of gross UTC−6 (aligns US Central)

Why Mexico

  • Nearshore #1 for US Central/West
  • USMCA advantages
  • Deep GTM and engineering pool

Mexico's 2021 outsourcing reform restricts staffing; EOR remains a compliant route when structured as direct employment. XCAILE operates as the legal employer, not a staffing intermediary.
