## Summary

Contrata con Norte is an Employer of Record service for Latin American companies hiring employees in the United States. As the legal employer of the client's US hire, it runs payroll, withholds and files US employment taxes and administers benefits, while the client selects the person and directs the work. The monthly service fee per employee is quoted for each case; there is no published list price.

## Verdict

- **Verdict:** Contrata con Norte is a Spanish-first EOR that covers one country, the United States, for one kind of client, Latin American companies making their first US hires. It charges a fixed monthly fee per employee quoted per case rather than a list price, commits to no setup fee, FX markup or exit penalty, and runs the whole process through a named specialist in Spanish or Portuguese. The trade-offs are single-country coverage, no published price, and a 2026 launch with no independent reviews yet.
- **Best for:** Latin American companies making their first one to four hires in the United States who want a Spanish or Portuguese-speaking specialist rather than a self-serve platform.
- **Not ideal for:** Companies hiring anywhere other than the United States, English-first buyers who want a software platform, or teams that need a published price to compare against.
- **Standout feature:** A single-corridor focus: US employment in all 50 states as one fixed monthly fee, with a named specialist in your language and timezone who tells you when your own entity becomes the better move.
- **Biggest limitation:** Coverage is the United States only, it publishes no price, and it launched in 2026 with no third-party reviews yet.

## About

Contrata con Norte is a Spanish-first Employer of Record (EOR) that lets Latin American companies employ people in the United States without opening a US company. It covers all 50 states and was founded in 2026.

A US entity becomes the legal employer: it signs a state-specific employment contract, runs twice-monthly payroll, files federal, state and local taxes, provides medical, dental, vision and 401(k) benefits at cost, and handles state registration. Alongside EOR it offers contractor management with a classification review, W-9, 1099 and W-8BEN collection, and conversion of misclassified contractors to W-2 employment in about five days.

There is no published price. The fee is a fixed monthly amount per employee, quoted per case, with no setup fee, no percentage of salary, no hidden FX markup and no exit penalty. Every client gets a named specialist in Mexico City, Bogota or Sao Paulo working in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The service covers the United States only and runs on partner-backed employment infrastructure.
