Where your team can sit — and overlap with yours
Pick where you're headquartered. The map highlights the regions where we hire that share your working hours.
Five regions, one hiring engine
We go where the right talent is and place people into teams that fit your time zone, seniority and roles. A snapshot of the markets we recruit across:
- US time zones
United States
Senior and lead talent for US-headquartered companies, including remote hires aligned to ET/PT hours. Ideal when you need people who can engage directly with security, architecture and business stakeholders. 92% of tech executives call hiring qualified tech talent very or extremely challenging (US executive surveys) — exactly the market where a structured sourcing engine beats ad-hoc recruiting.
- GMT · CET
Europe & the UK
From the UK and Western Europe through to Central and Eastern Europe — a deep, English-fluent talent pool experienced with banks, fintech and enterprise SaaS, used to demanding architecture and communication standards. Excellent nearshore overlap for UK and European builds. Western Europe ran 190+ RPO projects in 2023, led by the UK, Germany and the Netherlands (RPO market data, 2023); 18% of Portuguese tech professionals already work remotely for foreign companies (Landing.jobs, 2025) — a mature, remote-ready talent pool.
- GST · EU overlap
MENA region · UAE client hub
A growing focus, served through our HR consulting and talent-advisory presence in the UAE — with recruitment delivery across the wider MENA region. Well-suited to companies headquartered in the Gulf or expanding into MENA. 48% of UAE and Saudi companies plan to hire in 2026 (regional employer surveys), and Saudi Vision 2030 keeps driving tech demand across the Gulf.
- US-overlapping
LATAM nearshore
Nearshore talent across Latin America with strong US time-zone overlap — a cost-effective way to scale teams that collaborate live with US stakeholders. Remote hiring in the region grew 53–67% by country — Chile +67%, Colombia +55%, Mexico +54% (global remote-hiring data) — with typical savings of 30–50% versus US rates.
- Asia-Pacific hours
Asia-Pacific
Coverage across the Asia-Pacific region — including India, Singapore and the wider APAC markets — for follow-the-sun delivery and teams that need Asia-Pacific working-hour presence. The fastest-growing RPO region: 210+ deals signed in 2023, with India accounting for 61% of APAC activity (RPO market data, 2023).
The right market beats the cheapest market
In the US, engineering roles take an average of 62 days to fill, rising to 89 days for AI/ML positions (SHRM, 2025). Embedded recruitment cuts agency dependency by 25–50% within six months and runs up to 40% faster than the traditional agency model (CIPD, 2024) — which is how NGRS delivers a shortlist in two business days and a 2–4 week time-to-fill across regions.
Talent depth
We hire where the specific skills you need are genuinely available, so you're choosing from a real pool — not scraping a thin one to hit a rate.
Time-zone fit
Overlapping hours turn "offshore" into "extended team." It's the difference between live collaboration and waiting a day for every answer.
Communication standard
For demanding clients, people must explain and collaborate at a senior level, not just do the work. We screen for that bar across every region and role.
Hiring across locations — common questions
Can you build a team in our specific time zone?
Yes — that's the idea behind our Same Time Zone Squad. We assemble teams across regions so their working hours overlap yours, whether you're in the US, UK or the Gulf.
Which locations are best for a US company?
US-based talent and LATAM nearshore both give strong US time-zone overlap. For European or UK builds, the wider European market offers a deep, English-fluent pool.
Which region is best for nearshore software engineers?
It depends on whose working day the team needs to share. For US-headquartered companies, LATAM is the strongest nearshore fit — full ET/PT overlap, remote hiring growing 53–67% by country and typical savings of 30–50% versus US rates (global remote-hiring data). For UK and EU companies, Europe is the natural nearshore pool: GMT/CET hours and an English-fluent market where 18% of Portuguese tech professionals already work remotely for foreign companies (Landing.jobs, 2025).
Do you serve clients in MENA and the UAE?
Yes. UAE-headquartered companies are served through our HR consulting and talent-advisory presence in the UAE; recruitment delivery itself is run across the wider MENA region and through Europe. It's one of our growing client hubs.
Can you run hiring across several regions at once?
Yes. The embedded model runs many roles and markets in parallel — that's how we deliver large surges (50+ engineers) on a tight timeline without losing quality.
We're entering a new local market — can you help?
Yes. This is one of our sharpest fits. Before you commit to a region, we can run research on whether the specific talent you need actually concentrates there — and how deep that pool really is. Then we bring global structure and standards alongside local sourcing, so a market entry runs as one coherent build instead of several disconnected local ones.
Let's design your global talent strategy first
Thinking about where to build — or where to open a presence? Talk to us before you commit. We help design the right remote-talent pool, research where the specific talent you need actually concentrates, and share what hiring really looks like across regions — including where it's worth opening a representation and where a remote pod is the smarter call.
