Nearshore Engineering Hub Setup, Employer of Record (EOR), End-to-End Recruitment, Onboarding & Operational Support
10 Engineers (scaling to 20+ by mid-2026)
A New York-based technology consultancy serving major U.S. banks needed to expand its digital delivery capacity into Latin America. The firm had U.S. and offshore operations but lacked any nearshore presence, no legal entity, no HR or payroll framework, and no local recruitment pipeline in Mexico.
The timeline was aggressive: stand up a fully operational engineering hub within six months, staffed with senior-level talent across .NET, React, UX/UI, QA, and DevOps, without compromising quality, compliance, or cultural alignment with existing U.S. teams.

Amalga partnered with the client's leadership and technical teams to define target roles, headcount projections, and the operational setup strategy for Mexico.
Launch and EOR Setup (Month 2)
Established EOR services to handle all HR, legal, and compliance requirements, enabling rapid market entry without the delays of forming a local entity.
Talent Sourcing and Screening (Month 3)
Recruited and vetted top engineering talent across .NET, React, UX/UI, QA, and DevOps, leveraging local sourcing pipelines to overcome the client's lack of brand awareness in Mexico's tech talent market.
Onboarding and Integration (Month 4)
Delivered end-to-end onboarding and operational support, ensuring full alignment with the client's existing tools, sprint cadences, reporting workflows, and quality expectations.
Team Stabilization and Growth (Month 5)
Reached delivery goals and achieved full sprint parity with U.S. teams. The 10-engineer hub became a strategic extension of the client's delivery organization.
