ELITE BILINGUAL TALENT · MEDELLÍN · REMOTE

Half the cost. Double the retention. Fluent English + Spanish.

Latera places vetted virtual assistants, social media managers, and video editors from Colombia with US businesses. First candidate in your inbox within 14 days.

WHY MOST VA HIRES FAIL

You've probably tried this before. Here's why it didn't work.

01

The turnover trap.

US-based VAs churn in 3–6 months chasing the next $2/hour. You retrain, they leave, you retrain again. Your growth stalls.

02

The Filipino VA gap.

Great for admin, weak on English writing, brutal time-zone mismatch, and zero Spanish for the LATAM half of your market.

03

The freelance roulette.

Upwork, Fiverr, cold Instagram DMs. You spend 20 hours vetting, get a 30% hit rate, and lose the good ones to bigger offers.

THE LATERA MODEL

Colombian talent, US-caliber work, retention that lasts years.

We source, screen, and place bilingual professionals from Medellín, Bogotá, and Cali. Every candidate passes a live English + Spanish assessment, a paid trial task, and a video interview before we introduce them.

Your VA sits on your side of the table — hence Latera, Latin for "at your side." Same time zone as US Central. Fluent English writing. Full Spanish for LATAM outreach. Colombian work ethic, wired through Deel so you never touch international payroll.

Retention rate: 93% at 12 months. Compare that to your last VA hire.
