Based on the markets where we actively place professionals and see consistent long-term success, here’s where companies are finding the best talent for growth, quality, and retention.

1. Poland – Tech-Savvy, Stable, and Scalable

Poland remains one of the top destinations for offshore hiring in Eastern Europe. It offers a deep pool of highly educated professionals in finance, IT, operations, and business services.

2. The Philippines – Longstanding Offshore Leader

The Philippines is one of the most well-established countries for offshore hiring. Known for its Westernized work environment, strong English fluency, and experience supporting U.S.-based companies, it’s a go-to region for finance, customer service, marketing, and operations roles.

Argentina continues to lead in finance and accounting — especially for offshore teams supporting U.S.-based operations.

Despite its local economic volatility, Argentina offers unmatched talent in accounting, tax, and U.S. GAAP roles. Many professionals here are trained by Big 4 firms or centers of excellence and bring experience working with North American companies.

Why companies hire here: Access to U.S. tax professionals, controllers, and senior accountants who understand U.S. systems and can work EST hours, at a fraction of the cost.
