Our Process
How Our Placement Works
Book a 20-minute strategy call
Confirm fit. Define the bottleneck. If this isn't the right model for you, we'll say so.
Define the role: 90-day scope first for highest impact
We scope a clear role before sourcing begins. Unclear roles fail. We prevent that.
Behavioral vetting: 3XP Standard + Aptive Index
Every candidate passes two proprietary assessments before you ever see their name.
You interview the shortlist, you choose
You meet pre-vetted candidates from Latin America. The hiring decision is entirely yours.
Direct hire: you own the relationship
You hire them directly as a full-time international contractor. You pay them directly. Higher Options' recruiting role ends here.
60-day validation success fee
Our fee is charged only after this period. Placement doesn't work? We replace at no cost — or you walk away.
Nearshore talent. Real-time collaboration. Direct hire.
Full-time international contractors. Not employees, not freelancers. $1,100–$1,300/mo, paid directly by you.
In EST, CST, MST or PST
Real-time collaboration during your business hours. Zero overnight lag.
In fluent English
Screened for written and spoken communication quality, not just 'English' on a resume.
With cultural alignment
Shared professional standards and U.S. business norms. Faster ramp-up, less friction.
At $1,100–$1,300/mo
3–4x less than a U.S. hire. Paid directly by you. No markup, no middleman.
What We Specialize In
One specialty. Full-time LATAM 3XP EA placement.
We recruit, vet, and match bilingual Executive Assistants from Colombia, Argentina, and Peru for U.S. companies. Full-time. 40 hours/week. Direct hire. Long-term integration — not freelance, not part-time, not project-based.
Other Full-Time Roles We Place
Executive Assistants are our specialty. For companies that need to extend their LATAM team, we also place:
Customer Support Representatives
Full-time, bilingual.
Marketing & Social Media Managers
Full-time, direct hire. Not freelance, not project-based.
Bookkeepers & Accounting Support
Full-time, aligned with U.S. accounting tools and standards.
Same model. Same vetting. Not a staffing marketplace. These roles can go from $1,200 to $2,500/mo USD.
Our Standards
Four criteria. Every candidate. No exceptions.
3–10 years of directly relevant experience or transferable skills
No entry-level candidates. All Higher Options placements require experience directly matched to the placed role.
3XP Standard clearance
Proactive. Problem-solving. Productive. All three. If they miss one, they don't advance.
Aptive Index completed and evaluated
Behavioral intelligence assessment: psychometrics + AI coaching. Measures natural wiring, not just resume claims.
Long-term, full-time alignment
Only candidates seeking a direct, full-time, permanent engagement. No gig seekers.
This model is built for one type of company.
Built for
- U.S. founder-led companies where the CEO is doing EA work
- Leaders ready to transfer 40 hours of real operational responsibility
- Founders who want to own the employment relationship directly
- Companies that value workers in their time zones
Not built for
- Part-time or project-based support
- Founders whose primary criterion is the lowest rate
- Leaders who aren't ready to define a role scope
- Companies that want to self-browse a talent platform
Pricing
One fee. No markups. No monthly charges.
EA salary: $1,100–$1,300/mo → One-time fee: $2,640–$3,120
Charged only after the 60-day performance period is successfully completed.
Placement fails within 60 days? We replace at no cost — or you walk away.
