No. Most placements are remote, English-fluent professionals working U.S. business hours — so your admin seat is covered without needing another desk in the shop.
What roles do Grand Haven contractors usually hire first?
Phones and estimate follow-up, scheduling and dispatch, light invoicing and collections, and general project admin — the tasks that steal time from the field.

The most educated talent pool in South America — in your time zone.
We focus on two countries for a reason: the quality is exceptional and the overlap with your workday is real.
The most educated talent in South America
Argentina and Chile lead the region in higher education. A completed university degree there reflects real discipline and sacrifice — and it shows up in the work.
Genuine English proficiency
We weight spoken and written English heavily in screening, so client-facing and phone roles are handled with confidence.

Most of Argentina and Chile sit within 0–3 hours of U.S. time zones. Your assistant works while you work — no overnight handoffs.
Motivated, career-minded professionals
