Questions from LATAM professionals before they apply.

Does Higher Options charge me a fee to apply or get placed?
No. Higher Options charges the U.S. company, not you. You pay nothing to apply, nothing at placement, nothing ever.
Will I be working for Higher Options or for the U.S. company?
The U.S. company. Higher Options places you and steps back. You're hired directly. You're paid directly.
Am I an employee or a contractor?
An international contractor. You're hired directly by the U.S. company as a full-time independent contractor. Standard documentation applies (e.g., W-8BEN where relevant).
What does the Aptive Index involve and how long does it take?
A behavioral intelligence assessment, not a skills test. Approximately 10 minutes. Results are confidential and used only for matching.
What happens if the placement doesn't work out within 60 days?
Higher Options stays in contact during the first 60 days. If alignment breaks down, we address it early. If the placement ends, we work to rematch you.
What payment methods are used to pay LATAM contractors?
Payment methods vary by client and are agreed directly with you during the process. Higher Options does not handle or process payments.
If I accepted a salary range during the process, can I renegotiate after?
No. The salary range you accept during the process is final. Attempting to renegotiate after acceptance is an immediate disqualifier, no exceptions.
Do I receive work equipment after placement?
No. Higher Options does not provide equipment. In some cases, after hiring, clients may choose to provide tools or subscriptions directly, but this is entirely at the client's discretion.
Is it mandatory to submit my video using Loom?
Yes. Loom is the only accepted platform. Submissions sent through any other platform will be disqualified without review.
